ew York's 'Right To Shelter' Law Now Has Mayor Adams Saying "Go Away"
BY TYLER DURDEN
TUESDAY, AUG 15, 2023 - 10:10 PM
After having rolled out the welcome mat, New York City Mayor Eric Adams now tells illegal immigrants to look elsewhere.
A Right to Shelter
The Wall Street Journal explains Why New York Is a Magnet for Migrants
More than 81,000 migrants have come to New York from the southern border since last spring. On May 13, Mayor Eric Adams deemed the Roosevelt an arrival center for migrants. Most of its occupants are families, but it functions mainly as an intake center for new arrivals. It delivers a “range of legal, medical, and reconnection services, as well as placement, if needed, in a shelter or humanitarian relief center,” according to a city press release.
The city has at least 176 emergency shelters in such places as school gyms and churches, and the number keeps growing.
“Because Chicago, Philadelphia, etc. don’t have a right to shelter—anything like New York’s—New York has the much larger migrant crisis,” says Stephen Eide, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute.
On May 23 Mr. Adams petitioned a state judge to modify the city’s right-to-shelter obligations under the 1981 consent decree in Callahan v. Carey. He specifically asked for language that would ease the city’s obligations if it “lacks the resources and capacity to establish and maintain sufficient shelter sites, staffing, and security to provide safe and appropriate shelter.” Mr. Adams later said in a statement: “It is in the best interest of everyone, including those seeking to come to the United States, to be upfront that New York City cannot single-handedly provide care to everyone crossing our border.”
Self-Imposed Sanctuary City Crisis
Also consider Eric Adams and the Self-Imposed Crisis of a Sanctuary City
Mayor Eric Adams last week groused that local hotels and shelters are overrun with migrants whose care will cost the city about $5 billion this fiscal year. As New York politicians do, he’s begging the feds and ordinary city-dwellers to open their wallets. “This is not Mayor Adams’s job. This is the job of the people of the city of New York,” he said last week. “We need every New Yorker that has something to offer to play a role.”
Apparently, paying the nation’s highest taxes isn’t enough. Mr. Adams recently floated the idea of sheltering migrants in private homes. How rich considering that city regulations set to take effect next month will effectively prohibit New Yorkers from renting out their apartments on Airbnb. The home-sharing site estimates the new “de facto ban” will eliminate 95% of its revenue in the city.
Naturally, the result will be higher demand and prices for rooms at hotels, including those where the city is paying $256 a night on average to shelter migrant families. Some hotels, like a Holiday Inn Express in Brooklyn, are making upward of $300 a night housing migrants. This doesn’t include the cost of food, medical care and social services, which adds another $127 a day per migrant family.
Meantime, to prevent evictions from soaring rents, the City Council last month voted to expand housing vouchers, which will cost as much as $36 billion over five years. State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli last week warned the city could face a $40 billion budget shortfall over the next three years—most of which doesn’t stem from costs of caring for migrants.
What Mr. Adams wants is for Americans in the rest of the country to help underwrite the city’s progressive folly. Sorry, not our job.
Go Elsewhere
The BBC reports Adams now is handing out flyers at the Mexican border telling illegal immigrants ‘We Have No More Room‘.
New York City plans to distribute fliers at the southern border warning migrants there is “no guarantee” they will receive help if they come there.
Mayor Eric Adams announced the plan on Wednesday, arguing the city could not handle any more migrants as it has taken in 90,000 since April last year.
“We have no more room,” said the leader of America’s biggest city.

I've heard the term bat s##t crazy before, but this story more or less fits that description...
Mother demands veterinarian (illegally) treat her son’s medical condition: “If my son says he is a cat, then he is a cat”
08/15/2023
S.D. Wells
Veterinary medicine is the branch of medicine that deals with the treatment of disease, disorder and injury to animals. It is not an imaginary field of medicine, as it is based on actual science, but this doesn't matter to certain parents of children who are pretending to be animals. These parents have now gone completely insane and are demanding that veterinarians treat their children because… wait for it… the child says he is a cat.
With this logic, if a child says he/she has a broken wing or infected gills, then a veterinarian who treats birds or fish should have to be legally required to work on that bird-child or fish-child, or at least illegally work on them, because the child and parent say so. Period.
That is exactly what is happening now, across America, as the gender-confused liberals feed into the new movement where children transition into "furries" (kids who pretend they are cats or dogs). One woman, whose video of this insanity is posted on Rumble, is ranting about how veterinarians across America should be forced to work on kids who identify as cats or dogs. You simply cannot make this stuff up. Her son identifies as a cat. She's complaining because she literally took her son to the veterinarian and he refused to treat the boy, telling the mom that because the boy has "human anatomy" that he does not know "how to work on him" or "diagnose him" with anything, and of course because he legally can not work on a human.
Parents of "furries" now suffering mental breakdowns and delusions
The mother is convinced this is a form of discrimination, because she says "If my son says he is a cat, then he is a cat" and "he needs to be treated like one, you know." Yet, she says she's not going to press charges. How considerate of her. She's still referring to her child as her "son," which is odd, if she's mentally convinced that he is a cat, which must be offensive to her son. Maybe her son should press charges against his mother for referring to him as her son, instead of as her pet.
The mom wants to start an awareness campaign, believing still that every parent who has a child that identifies as a dog, cat, squirrel, rat, beaver, or elephant, should be able to take that child to the veterinarian for prescription drugs, fleas, or gender-bender surgery. This, she says, after she just acknowledged that the veterinarian is not the same kind of doctor as a medical doctor for humans, and that he could lose his license for treating an actual child who is making believe they are an animal.
She says any child who identifies as an animal should be able to go to a veterinarian for medical care because "that's the medical attention that they're wanting." She says it's "not fair" that humans have to continue to go to medical doctors for care when they are imagining that they are four-legged beasts. So, now, according to parents who have children that identify as pets, actual doctors need to also use their imagination and pretend their patients are something they are not, in order to "be fair" to people who are obviously living in a confused mental state.
Many gay folks in America dress up as animals to do kinky stuff, and now they are pushing kids to do the same. It's all part of the perverted, communist, liberal, tranny movement where all straight people, doctors, lawyers, veterinarians, school teachers, and daycare providers must PRETEND that "furries" are real animals and must be treated accordingly, or you lose your license, job, and get sued for discrimination.
It's part of the pedophilia "grooming" movement and child trafficking dilemma, as it all plays into perverting children's minds and influencing them to think about sex and sexual role-playing agendas fed to them by the adult perverts via social media, Disney, Hollywood, liberal school curriculum, and now parents complaining about medical treatment. Tune your internet dial to Gender.news for updates on extreme liberals with hidden agendas trying to turn normal kids into gender-confused freaks.

The bigger question here is whether the mother should be able to be legally responsible to rear her own child or not? Is this a form of parental abuse of children or what?
And another question I have, but this article doesn't mention is, who old is the child and when did they think they were a cat? Could a crazed mother have taught that to her own child?

She might have. I read a book about a child who believe he was an animal. He had early onset schizophrenia. It’s one thing to treat her son kindly, quite another to put him in danger by demanding an unqualified person treat him. I’m surprised the vet even took the appointment with her when she didn’t have an animal. My vet would screen her out when she called for the appointment,

Maybe she just showed up at the vet and spoke to them directly without appointment.

“If my son says he is a cat, then he is a cat”
Then that cat needs to be neutered.!
