New Yorkers protested on Sunday outside the Gracie Mansion, the residence of Mayor Eric Adams.

Residents began chanting “Pasty White Liberals” when open border activists arrived to counter-protest.

New Yorkers protest the resettlement in their communities of thousands of illegal aliens and border crossers. Staten Islanders are particularly outraged at Adams’ refusal to accept migrants in the former St. John Villa Academy, which is located in a close-knit community.

When the city appealed, a second judge overturned the temporary ban on Adams housing illegal aliens and border crossers at the former school.

CBS News reported that a Staten Island resident told them, “This is unfair.” One resident said, “My tax money shouldn’t go to this”, while another told activists to not give up their protests against the migrant settlement.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), has developed a program that connects border crossers, illegal aliens and employers in New York State.

Since last spring, over 100,000 border crossers, illegal aliens, and other non-citizens have entered New York. The majority of these people have no connection to the United States, and they remain under the care of New York City, costing taxpayers approximately $12 billion by the middle 2025.
