MIGRANT CRISIS: NYC Mayor says, ‘We need help.’

Published

Mayor’s administration has opened an emergency tent shelter for hundreds

“We need help—and we need it now,” said Mayor Eric Adams, the mayor of the largest city in the country.

He made the remarks about the migrant crisis which he says is pushing the city to the brink and has forced him to declare a state of emergency.

In response, the mayor’s administration has unveiled a complex of giant tents built on Randall’s Island.

The temporary shelter just opened to house an influx of international migrants being bused into the city by southern border states.

The hope of the emergency tent shelter is to reduce some of the strain the city has recently felt from the steady stream of undocumented migrants.

With cots for up to 500 people, the tents also include laundry facilities, a dining hall, and phones for people to make international calls.

Currently, the humanitarian relief center is planned to be a temporary stopping point for single, adult men — mostly from Venezuela.

For months, border towns have been sounding the alarm about the crisis at the U.S. – Mexico border.

Now, with the arrival of thousands of illegal immigrants— New York City’s homeless shelter system is now bursting with more than 63,300 residents with no end in sight.

“If these trends continue,” Adams explained, “We will be over 100,000 in the year to come that’s far more than the system was designed to handle. This is unsustainable.”

Officials say migrant families with children are being housed in hotels.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
