New York?s rule: If you?re not a migrant, go to the back of the line.
Gary Moretti and his fianc?e booked 30 rooms at the Crossroads Hotel in
Newburgh, New York, for themselves, their bridesmaids and guests for a
June 24 wedding.
But Mayor Eric Adams? migrant-first policy demolished their plans.
Over the last two weeks, Adams has rolled out a scheme to bus hundreds of
migrants to upscale motels in Newburgh, Orangetown and Yonkers, pleading
that New York City is out of space.
It didn?t matter that many of the motel rooms were already occupied or
booked. Money talks.
New York City pays above-market rates to house migrants, up to $8,000 a
room per month (taxpayers be damned).
The motels acted fast to clear their rooms.
?We had a legal contract to have those rooms,? the engaged couple said.
Nearly two dozen struggling homeless veterans also got the boot, including
some who had served in Vietnam or Afghanistan.
People staying at the Ramada Inn in Yonkers were told to clear out as
well.
Up to 100 migrant families are expected there within a week.
Savannah Harp, who?s been living there with her 18-month-old son, resents
that she?s had to pay for her room while the migrants displacing her will
get rooms for free.
Big-city Democrats like Adams give migrants top priority. Protest and
you?re called ?racist? or ?xenophobic.?
Even so, some local leaders are fighting back against Adams? takeover of
hotels and motels in their jurisdictions.
Rockland and Orange counties are in court, arguing Adams doesn?t have the
right to set up shelters outside New York City.
Other counties are putting Adams on notice not to even try it.
Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, a Republican, made it clear: ?We
are not a sanctuary county.?
The battle unfolding in New York will likely be repeated in many locales.
Connecticut alerted towns to prepare for migrants.
The immigration-industrial complex ? a web of Democratic politicians,
immigration lawyers and nonprofits that survive on public funding ? pushes
relentlessly for more money and more ?rights? for migrants.
Adams plans to house migrants in upstate hotels and motels for at least
four to six months, with shuttle service provided three times a day to
wherever they want to go. What a deal.
Democrats promised migrants sanctuary from immigration-law enforcement,
luxury accommodations, three meals a day and health and legal services.
Now they express surprise at the deluge of people heading to New York City
and insist all counties share the burden.
The New York Civil Liberties Union is suing Rockland and Orange counties,
claiming their resistance amounts to ?xenophobic harassment and
discrimination.?
Those are cheap shots and untrue.
It?s not about race.
It?s about money.
Caring for migrants will force counties to cut services to their own
residents.
Adams? city budget for the coming fiscal year is proof.

It cuts every department, including police protection and education, to
offset spending on migrants.
The generous handouts to migrants are also causing resentment.
A Hispanic-American woman from Portchester who has three kids and works
cleaning houses said she?s furious to see migrants getting free housing.
She asks: Why not her family?
Where is New York?s governor, Kathy Hochul?
Mostly MIA.
Her predecessor, Andrew Cuomo, says Hochul should ?come down here and pick
up these people and disperse them across the state.?
That?s ridiculous.
The answer isn?t to foist the problem on other communities.
It?s to stop making New York a magnet for migrants.
Democrats don?t get that.
Last week, Adams announced the landmark Roosevelt Hotel on 45th Street and
Vanderbilt Avenue will become the city?s migrant welcoming center and a
large shelter.
Movies such as ?The French Connection? and ?Wall Street? were filmed
there.
The lobby is exquisite.
A security guard told The Post, ?The migrants are going to think they came
to, like, Hollywood or something.?
Upscale lodging ? whether it?s in Manhattan or along the Hudson ?
encourages migrants to make New York their destination.
Worse, it sends a message to the rest of us, including Gary Moretti and
his bride, that we?re saps.
Tell Adams to house migrants in barracks and tents and provide only bare
necessities.
Be humane but not stupid.
