Mayor Eric Adams insists shelter that migrants refuse to move to is not a ... trends now

New York City Mayor Eric Adams denied claims that a Brooklyn shelter set up to house at least 1,000 male migrants is a prison, nearly a dozen of whom have refused to be to leave the hotel they have been living in for the past few months.

Several of these migrants — who were bused up to New York City from Texas — told DailyMail.com they thought the shelter set up at the Brooklyn cruise terminal resembled a 'jail.'

'Left-wing activists' have now helped those refusing to leave the Watson Hotel in Brooklyn by setting up tents on the sidewalk.

But in a new public service announcement, Eric Adams tries to show off some of the amenities of the shelter at the Brooklyn terminal as he poses with a Venezuelan migrant named Wilson, who thanks New York City for its efforts.

In the video posted to Twitter, Eric Adams says the migrants in New York City are trying to live the American Dream, as he boasts about the city and state's efforts to accommodate the thousands of migrants who have arrived in recent months.

He also showed off some of the amenities at the shelter, including a ping pong table and a buffet.

'It doesn't matter if it's Ellis Island or the Brooklyn cruise terminal or it's any of our ports,' the mayor began. 'It's all rooted in the American Dream. You pursue the dream here.'

He then went on to say: 'I just had to come here when I started hearing all the rumors about "it was cold," my brother got shorts on, it's warm inside' pointing to Wilson wearing shorts as he chuckles, 'about the food not being here. 

'You know, healthy food is present. Even the snacks are healthy,' Adams said as he held up an orange.

'We just need to stop the anxiety,' the New York City mayor told the public, claiming he has spoken to several of the migrants who have said '"We want to come here, we want to work, we want to pursue the American Dream. We're thankful to the people of New York City."

'I heard that over and over again.'

Adams then used the opportunity to tout the city and state's efforts to accommodate the influx of migrants from Latin America, saying: 'We are doing our job. We need the national government and Congress to do their job.

'This is how you get through a crisis, together.' 

He also wrote in a tweet: 'The asylum seeker crisis is a national problem that needs a national solution.

'New York City is proud to have welcomed tens of thousands of asylum seekers and given them shelter, food and resources. But we can't do this alone.'
