From the New York Post: New York City’s use of hotels as emergency shelters to house migrants will continue for the foreseeable future, The Post has learned, as the Department of Homeless Services is seeking a contract with hotels to provide a total of 14,000 rooms to shelter migrants at least through next year.

The city projects that spending on housing for migrants over the past two years and this fiscal year combined will surpass a staggering $2.3 billion — much of it on rent paid to hotels in the Big Apple.

About 150 hotels are currently sheltering migrants and total spending on migrant services over three years will hit $5.76 billion.

“The taxpayers can’t pay for this indefinitely,” said Nicole Gelinas, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute think tank.

Pointing to the criminal investigation against Adams, Gelinas is calling for NY Gov. Kathy Hochul to take control of the migrant crisis.

Gelinas noted that with the hotels full of illegal aliens, they are no longer available for the tourism industry. “We should stop using hotels as shelters by the end of the year,” she said.

However, the program is providing a “reliable revenue stream” for the hotels, while the city is spending $352 per room per night in taxpayer funds to give the illegal aliens free hotel rooms.

The city has three existing contracts with the New York City Hotel Association to work with its extensive network of hotels to voluntarily provide shelter space, and the hotel association’s foundation is paid approximately $100,000 per month to administer three of its existing contracts with the city, the New York Post reported.

In the latest announcement, the NYC Department of Homeless Services wrote, “The New York City Department of Homeless Services is seeking to continue the City Sanctuary Facility program by procuring a vendor who can assist in acquiring the use of large scale commercial hotels and hotel management services to help address the current emergency.”

Independent journalist Leeroy Johnson posted a video of illegal aliens standing outside the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City and wrote, ” Migrants continue to arrive at the intake center in NYC. And why not? NYC is offering free hotel rooms , food , health insurance, and credit cards. We are about three years into this criss. Do you think if I went to Mexico or Venezuelan, I would get the same treatment?”

Last week, independent journalist Nick Shirley posted an interview with two illegal alien women in New York City who bragged about all the benefits they’re getting, without even having to work.

Republican Hung Cao of Virginia, who is running for US Senate against Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine, responded to the report, writing, “Our government will not put Americans’ needs first until we elect leaders who will. We need to stop spending billions of American taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens. America’s future is on the ballot on November 5th.”
