Blacks In NYC Have Woken Up To The Fact Liberals Don't Care About Them As All The Resources For The Poor Are Now Going To Migrants

NEW YORK -- With New Yorkers still reeling from the first round of city budget cuts, including a dramatic cut in the number of officers, there's word of a second round of belt tightening, and this time, migrant services are on the chopping block.

To be blunt, asylum seekers arriving in New York City are in for a rude awakening, says CBS New York political reporter Marcia Kramer. They may not be lodged in pricey Midtown hotels anymore, and instead of culturally appropriate meals, they may be handed a lunch bag with a turkey sandwich. The city's budget crunch is that bad.

"I know you New Yorkers are angry when they hear about these efficiency cuts, but New Yorkers, I want you to know I'm angry also, Mayor Eric Adams said.

Adams was talking about yet another round of budget cuts -- 5% that agencies will have to come up with in the next few weeks.

While the belt tightening is caused, in part, by the tens of thousands of asylum seekers seeking shelter here, they are now going to find that the city that never sleeps is not going to be so generous going forward in finding them places to sleep.

According to a letter sent to commissioners, the city is going to slash migrant services by 20%; that's $1.5 billion. It's "designed to reduce per-diem costs and reduce the length of shelter stays."
