That was it.<\/p>\n \u2018I said, ‘No, no, no, no, you’re not moving me,’ and they said, ‘Yes, yes, yes we are.’<\/p>\n \u2018Everything was done behind closed doors \u2013 we didn’t have a chance to actually make any attempt to stop them because there wasn’t enough time.\u2019<\/p>\n More than 113,000 undocumented migrants have arrived in New York after crossing the southern border since last year in a crisis mayor Eric Adams has warned will \u2018destroy the city\u2019<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n And another 233,000 were recorded crossing the southern border in August.<\/p>\n And around 100 hotels have been turned into shelters including the The Paul Hotel, The Paramount Hotel, and the Roosevelt which alone is now housing some 3,000.<\/p>\n The mayor is planning to spend an extra $1billion on hotel accommodation<\/strong><\/a> for migrants over three years, it emerged yesterday, with the city\u2019s public services facing swingeing cuts to pay for it.<\/p>\n ‘The migrant crisis has evolved into a financial boondoggle, with quietly extended contracts fattening the pockets of a few at the taxpayer’s expense,’ said Democratic Queens Councilman Robert Holden.<\/p>\n
