Yonkers Insider: Yonkers City Council Minority Leader Mike Breen 5th District: Statement On Migrants Arriving In Yonkers From New York City.

 

Since Friday, May 12th, the City of Yonkers has made repeated attempts to obtain information from New York City Mayor Eric Adams in relation to the migrants possibly being sent to Yonkers. Unfortunately, all of those calls went unanswered and the failed policies of President Biden, Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Mayor Adams has made it to Yonkers.



On Monday, May 15th, 14 families of migrants (38 individuals) arrived in our City with nothing more than the clothes on their backs to be housed in a Yonkers hotel paid for with some of the over $1 billion Mayor Adams received to care for the migrants his city received. These funds were NOT given to Mayor Adams to export the migrants to neighboring cities. I am calling on every level of government who authorized sending the migrants to Yonkers be responsible for the full expense of them being here. That would include any housing, education, medical and any other unforeseen expenses incurred.

The process must begin now to return the migrants to NYC. The cost of them being here cannot be borne by the Yonkers taxpayer.
