The illegal immigration problem in the Big Apple continues to deteriorate as President Joe Biden leaves out the red carpet for more undocumented immigrants to flood across the southern border.
Most recently, a New York City high school forced students to learn remotely so the building could be used to house migrants.
As the New York Post reported:
The city made the move amid concerns that a massive migrant tent at Floyd Bennett Field would collapse from torrential rains and gusting winds — packing them instead into the second-floor gym at James Madison High School five miles away.
The school’s neighbors were not keen on the last-minute decision.
“This is f—ed up,” said a local resident who identified himself only as Rob. “It’s a litmus test. They are using a storm, a legitimate situation, where they are testing this out. I guarantee you they’ll be here for the entire summer.
“There’s 1,900 people getting thrown into my neighborhood, half a block from where I live and we don’t know who they are,” he said. “They’re not vetted. A lot of them have criminal records and backgrounds and we don’t even know.”
The decision sparked a lot of controversy on social media:
BREAKING: I just received this footage from a mom in James Madison High School in NYC where students are learning remotely to make room for illegals to sleep there. Workers are unloading cots, food, and supplies for the illegals.

It all comes after Democratic Mayor Eric Adams, who campaigned on the premise of preserving the city’s “sanctuary” status, sought to blame everybody else (most notably GOP Texas Gov. Greg Abbott) for the situation.
Late last year, Adams implemented a new executive order aimed at cutting off the transportation of migrants from Texas, which has been forced to absorb an unsustainable level of illegal immigration since Biden’s inauguration.
According to Politico:
Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order Wednesday to restrict the flow of migrant charter buses sent by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to New York City.
Adams said the order mandates any buses carrying migrants arrive in the city only between 8:30 a.m. and noon on weekdays. The buses’ arrival must also be announced 32 hours in advance, he said. The order specifically applies to buses contracted by the state of Texas — whose governor Adams routinely blames for sending asylum seekers into the five boroughs.
Here’s some more of the mayor’s ramblings:
