Hooverville Reincarnated: NYC Mayor Eric Adams Considers Handing Out Free Tents for Illegal Immigrants to Camp in City Parks
New York City officials are considering handing out free tents to arriving illegal immigrants and setting up campsite shelters in public parks as a massive influx of asylum seekers and migrants arrive in the Big Apple.
Mayor Eric Adams, alongside other New York City officials, has been in talks of potentially setting up encampments in public parks all throughout New York City and the surrounding area.
Currently, the city has over 65,000 people being housed, but that number is expected to rise and will leave thousands in the streets without housing.
The talks of handing out free tents and creating encampments in New York Parks are eerily similar to New York’s previous history of Hooverville in Central Park.
