Almost half of all hotel rooms now are taken up by asylum seekers. Think about that. I\u2019m not sure what it\u2019s going to take before people hear what I am saying,\u201d said Adams in a media briefing in Harlem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNew York City is the hotel capital. We\u2019re the hotel capital \u2014 tourism, visitors, sporting events, graduations,\u201d he added. \u201cIt\u2019s a major economic engine for us. Almost 50% of those hotel rooms are being taken up by migrant asylum seekers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Democrat has been lambasted on all sides for his handling of the issue, but others of his own party lined up to accuse him of exaggerating the problem\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cInstead of moneys coming from people who are visiting us and spending and our tourism and our Broadway plays \u2014 instead of them using those hotels, we\u2019re using those hotels,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is not sustainable. Adams knows it, and yet there is no end in sight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is reportedly considering turning the iconic Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan into a migrant shelter \u2014 costing New Yorkers some $75 million annually. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jfAx8XsTn0\">https:\/\/t.co\/jfAx8XsTn0<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1657372093078437895?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">May 13, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">As working class American Citizens struggle to stay afloat in Biden&#39;s economy, NYC Mayor Eric Adams (D) is considering turning the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan into a migrant shelter<br><br>Shame on this admin!
