There seems to be no end to the migrant crisis in New York City, leading Mayor Adams to spend tens of millions on hotel rooms.
From New York Post. Mayor Eric Adams’ administration has inked a new emergency $76.69 million contract with the Hotel Association of New York City to provide “last resort” shelter to migrant families

Fifteen hotels in Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx will make blocks of rooms available to asylum-seeking families for up to 28 days under the “vouchering program” running through July. …
The Post reported in September that the city extended contracts with the hotel association for three years at a staggering price tag of $1.3 billion — nearly five times the original $275 million deal — just to pay rental fees to more than 100 hotels that were converted into emergency shelters.
There are currently 493 households receiving shelter under the program administered by the city Department of Housing and Preservation Development (HPD).
“The City has made managing the costs of the asylum seeker crisis a priority, so we worked with them to ensure the costs and commitments of housing newcomers in our hotels were as low as possible,” said Vijay Dandapani, president and CEO of the Hotel Association of New York City (HANYC). …
According to HPD, the new contract formalizes ongoing work between HPD and HANYC since July 2023 and funds the program through July 2024. …
Migrant families are directed to the hotel voucher program as a “last resort” if there isn’t any space at other shelters, HPD said.
At the end of the 28 days, families are able to return to arrival centers — Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers — to receive another placement, HPD said. …
The unrelenting influx of migrants coming into the Big Apple from the US-Mexico border has the Adams administration scouring any available space to shelter them. …
Adams has urged President Biden to address the border-migrant crisis — a federal responsibility — and provide more aid to New York City to cover services to the wave of asylum seekers. …

Heavenly Father, You are the God of Righteousness and Justice. You are the God of love and truth and GRACE! We give You all praise and honor. We pray You bring an end to this influx of people into our country. We declare Your power will overwhelm and convict those allowing this open border. We declare their hearts and minds will be changed to see the truth and that they will turn to You. You are ALMIGHTY. Father God, sweep over this nation and bring the blind to sight. Waken those in the USA to the evil plans of the enemy. Unite Your remnant Oh Lord and ignite REVIVAL FIRE TO THE USA.
WE WILL BE SAVED BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB. in Jesus Name Amen
Instead of providing hotel rooms, provide each illegal alien a comfortable seat on a charter plane and send them back to their own countries and let them join the line to apply for legal entry to America. This nation and its population who pay the taxes is under no obligation to support people who enter illegally.
Amen!
It is never right to reward wrong actions.

Lord, give wisdom to the leaders in Washington, DC especially Joe Biden, who can end quickly, the illegal alien population over run in our nation.
