Since the Texas governor sent a steady stream of illegal immigrants to New York City, New York Mayor Adams no longer has the strength to argue with the Texas governor, and now he is tired of solving the problem of resettlement of illegal immigrants in New York.
The sheer number of illegal immigrants has surpassed New York's saturation, and the crime problem caused by illegal immigrants has become an urgent crisis to be solved, and this unsolvable death situation has become Adams's biggest political failure during his tenure.
Recently, New York City has been the subject of controversy over the issuance of prepaid cash cards to asylum seekers (non-transferable). In December, Mayor Adams, a Democrat, announced a budget of $110.5 billion, claiming to spend $14After the $500 million response to the migration crisis, it was necessary to cut budgets in all sectors.
The budget cuts would result in an additional one-fifth reduction in the number of NYPD officers, or 135 per cent, and will postpone the next five sessions of the police academy course, bringing the number of police officers from 360,000 reduced to less than 30,000.
But with violence against illegal immigrants rising in New York, this budget reduction faces a major challenge.
Tensions escalated further on January 27 when two New York police officers were violently beaten up by a group of illegal immigrants in Times Square).
Under ** pressure,Adams just announced, cancel the third round of budget reductions (mainly referring to departmental reductions), and also ensure that it will beAn additional 10% cut in immigration spending.
Previously, a large influx of illegal immigrants into the Big Apple resulted in taxpayers spending $126 in 2023$500 million, the mayor's office swore to beBring that figure down to $10.6 billion in fiscal year 2025.
Adams said today that the budget cuts are a direct result of his ** efforts to stabilize the budget, which has made the economy perform better than expected in 2023. New York City has already saved more than $1.7 billion in city expenses, and he has cut its immigration budget by an additional 10 percent.
More than 170,000 illegal immigrants have arrived in the city since the spring of 2022, and the crisis is only getting deeper as they continue to be busted from Texas, at the same time that the number of illegal immigrants in Texas is also hitting an all-time high.
In January, Adams announced an initial 20% cut plan to reduce excessive expenses incurred over the next three years due to the immigration crisis.
But today its emergency brakes.
Adams said"If we had to make a third round of budget cuts, that would affectGarbage collection affects the services we provide to seniors, it affects libraries, it affects a range of servicesand you'll see the difference. So we don't have to do a third round of cuts, a third round of cuts for our service agencies. "
While no more budgets for the various departments of the public services will be cut, and there has been a commitment to reduce the budget for illegal immigration, Adams has previously announcedThe $53 million debit card program has begun.
This program is available for immigrant families with two children under the age of 17Up to 1$520,000 in grants
As a result, Adams faced the biggest opposition in his political career.

Earlier this month, Adams defended the plan, explaining that currently, the cost of each illegal immigrant meal at a hotel is $11, thereforeA family of four can afford a whopping $132 a day.
Adams' spokeswoman, Kayla Mamelak, said:"Not only will this provide families with the ability to purchase fresh food to meet their eating habits related to their own culture, as well as provide baby products of their choice, but the pilot program is expected to bring to New York City on a monthly basisSaveMore than $600,000, with annual savings of more than $7.2 million.
