NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams is opening the door once again to the possibility of housing asylum seekers on cruise ships — his latest response to the migrant crisis that’s so far cost the city an estimated $300 million.
Adams, who spoke Wednesday morning in an interview broadcast by Politico, said “there is no more room” to house the thousands of migrants who began flooding into New York City last year and that his “guesstimate” on the cost of the city’s projected total response would come with a price tag of $2 billion.
But he noted that in spite of that the city would continue to look for ways to accommodate migrants coming to the U.S. from south of the border.
