Democrat mayor praises his handling of migrant crisis as controversial new shelter opens
Fox News
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has lauded his administration’s handling of the Big Apple’s migrant crisis days after a new 2,200-capacity all-male shelter opened in the Bronx.
He said the Monday announcement that the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan would be closing marked a significant milestone for the city and that 53 other shelters had been shuttered over the past year. Adams said his administration used "smart policies" to cater to the migrants despite communities not being receptive to having shelters in their neighborhoods.

"Show me one who raise[s] their hand and say[s], ‘bring it here,’" Adams, a Democrat, said. "We have to use smart policies. How do we bring people into locations so we could get the services and move them out?"
