New York State Democratic Gov. Eric Adams has ordered state-run housing to respond to an explosion of increased crime and alarming safety issues near immigrant shelters, putting legal residents at risk. The government is considering a plan to impose a curfew on illegal immigrants.
Mr. Adams' popularity has plummeted in recent days, and he is rapidly throwing ideas against the political wall in hopes of winning back voters who have been under fire for his policies pandering to illegal aliens.
If the latest balloon test becomes citywide policy, illegal border crossers in state shelters would be required to be in their rooms by 11 p.m. each night, the newspaper said. new york post. They are also required to stay in their rooms until 6 a.m., unless there is an emergency.

“There is no question that our neighborhoods are being invaded by immigrants from Floyd Bennett Field, sitting outside stores, outside malls, going door to door asking for money. I saw them knocking,” Fitzgerald said.
“I certainly sympathize with their situation, but it's annoying when people who don't speak English knock on the door asking for food. I don't like it. I've never had anything like this before.” added Mr. Fitzgerald.
City officials said last week that Adams was considering a curfew to prevent immigrants from wandering the neighborhood at night.
Molly Schaefer, the mayor's director of asylum seeker affairs, confirmed on January 11 that the curfew was “under consideration” by the Adams administration.
The issue was apparently brought up by Queens City Council member Joanne Arriola, who noted that she raised the issue because other shelters in the Big Apple “have curfews for homeless people.”
“If it's good enough for homeless New Yorkers, it's good enough for immigrants,” Arriola argued.
According to Viral News NYC, the Big Apple's regular homeless Americans are being sidelined as cities and private services scramble to deal with illegal aliens.
One poster reportedly said that years ago, “we started feeding the homeless, but now we're feeding immigrants because there's a huge influx of immigrants.” Since then, he said, many ordinary homeless people have stopped coming because of the long lines. ”

In response to this spending, Adams proposed deep and painful budget cuts to city services, libraries, police departments, and other departments so that more money could be directed to the immigration crisis.
But as December began, Adams' approval rating was at an all-time low as the immigration crisis worsened and Adams continued to defer to the city's “sanctuary city” policies.
Adams is particularly anxious for a “victory” on the immigration issue. It remains to be seen whether a curfew fits the bill.
