American taxpayers will pay for the more than $135 million bill to cover care, food, and housing costs for illegal aliens living in New York City.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that American taxpayers will pay for the bill to cover the costs of illegal immigration.
“We simply cannot keep shouldering the cost and bearing the responsibility of dealing with this crisis alone. It is a national crisis,” an official with Adams’ office said.
Taxpayers are footing the bill through the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA) Shelter Services Program, an initiative intended to help homeless Americans.

This week, as Breitbart News reported, Adams filed a lawsuit against 30 counties across New York state for their refusal to accept border crossers and illegal aliens that the city hopes to bus to their communities. “This lawsuit aims to put an end to this xenophobic bigotry and ensure our state acts as one as we work together to manage this humanitarian crisis fairly and humanely, as we have done from the beginning and as we will continue to do,” Adams said in a statement.
