Adams\u2019 Friday declaration of a state of emergency came with a new prediction that the cost of his Welcome Wagons would hit $1 billion and that the population in homeless shelters could reach 100,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier, he asked Washington for $500 million to cover the cost of what he estimated would be 75,000 new arrivals. Thus, in a matter of days, the cost estimate doubled as buses continued to drop off migrant passengers, with 17,000 now in the five boroughs. Public schools have enrolled 5,500 migrant children.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need help from the federal government, we need help from the state of New York,\u201d the mayor said.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s obvious, but what is also obvious is that Adams refuses to acknowledge the whole truth. To wit, no amount of money will be enough as long as the southern border remains open to virtually all comers.<\/p>\n<p>For him to say that would be to condemn the policies of President Biden, a fellow Dem, and, this being election season, that is a bridge too far for Adams.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"724\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/09.1goodwin-migrants-adams-5n011.goodwin1_C_JR.jpg?w=724\" alt=\"Mayor Adams with shovel\" class=\"wp-image-24180126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/09.1goodwin-migrants-adams-5n011.goodwin1_C_JR.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1448 1448w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/09.1goodwin-migrants-adams-5n011.goodwin1_C_JR.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1086 1086w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/09.1goodwin-migrants-adams-5n011.goodwin1_C_JR.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=724 724w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/09.1goodwin-migrants-adams-5n011.goodwin1_C_JR.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=362 362w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/09.1goodwin-migrants-adams-5n011.goodwin1_C_JR.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 724px) 100vw, 724px\"\/><figcaption>Adams recently declared the influx of migrants a state of emergency. <\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Gregory P.

But it\u2019s an impossible job if you make unforced errors like this one and refuse to correct them.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Indeed, in exchange for his party loyalty and silence, the mayor has gotten exactly bupkis from the White House.<\/p>\n<p>Nor has Gov. Hochul offered to help, other than to support the city\u2019s push for federal aid. Imagine that.<\/p>\n<p>To judge by her fat campaign account, Hochul has no trouble asking for money when she\u2019s asking for herself. But when they face a crisis, the 8.8 million people who live in the city are on their own.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s likely the White House refuses to help because of how fast the numbers are escalating and doesn\u2019t want to get sucked into an unlimited commitment to New York that would trigger similar demands across the nation. Besides, any focus on the topic reminds voters of the president\u2019s border disaster.<\/p>\n<p>If only Adams had thought of those complications before welcoming the world.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams-3.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"A bus filled with migrant women, children and men arrive in Manhattan on September 30.\" class=\"wp-image-24180123\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams-3.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>A bus filled with migrant women, children and men arrive in Manhattan on September 30.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Robert Miller<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Consider that his emergency declaration allows the city to move faster to provide shelter, food and health care, a menu of free services that will attract even more migrants.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>With apologies to the \u201cField of Dreams,\u201d if you build it, they will come.<\/p>\n<p>With more than 4 million border crossers in the country thanks to Biden dropping all safeguards, and with thousands more coming every day, it\u2019s certain that many, many more will find their way to America\u2019s mecca.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Just_call_Joe\"><\/span>Just call Joe!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Although GOP border state governors continue to bus hundreds of migrants north to sanctuary cities, even without that stream, New York likely would be the top migrant destination.<\/p>\n<p>All the more reason why Adams should join the GOP governors \u2014 and most Americans \u2014 in demanding secure borders.

Inevitably, the mayor\u2019s time and energy, and that of most of city government, will be consumed by the crisis of caring for an enormous number of needy people. Everything else will take a back seat.<\/p>\n<p>That will include combatting crime, the reason Adams got elected. A former cop, he alone among the Democratic field promised to make the city safe again.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, that feels like ancient history. Although murder and shootings, thankfully, are down more than 13%, overall serious crime continues to soar by nearly 33% over last year. Public disorder is rampant and many streets and subways have a menacing air.<\/p>\n<p>During the campaign and early in his administration, Adams drew attention to the bloodshed by visiting crime scenes. He knew the media would report his presence, and hoped that would lead to a groundswell of support for changes in criminal justice laws that Albany foolishly gutted.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Workers erect a hangar-sized tent in the Bronx as a means to house immigrants on September 27.\" class=\"wp-image-24180125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/10\/goodwin-migrants-adams.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Workers erect a hangar-sized tent in the Bronx as a means to house immigrants on September 27.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Julia Nikhinson\/AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Yet Adams got next-to-no help.
