As Eric Adams scrambles to limit migrant chaos, lefties are bent on WORSENING it

Mayor Adams keeps coming up with practical measures to limit the damage from migrants overwhelming the city, but lefty lawmakers keep looking to worsen it.

Starting this week, Adams is setting curfews — an 11 p.m. mandatory check-in time and no departures before 6 a.m — at another 20 city migrant shelters.

That’s standard at regular homeless shelters throughout the city.

A spokesman says the rules will allow more “efficient” bed-capacity management and help the city meet the needs of both migrants and New Yorkers living near the shelters.

Adams began imposing migrant-shelter curfews after neighbors’ complaints of being hit up for donations at all hours.

Extending them to more sites comes amid a surge in migrant crime, including a beat-down of two cops, a shooting by a 15-year-old and the emergence of the violent Venezuelan Tren de Aragua gang in the city.

The check-ins make sense: The city faces a monster challenge in accommodating 70,000-and-counting newcomers, including some who violate Gotham’s social-behavior norms or commit outright crimes.

The policy can help the city manage that challenge and limit such offenses.

Indeed, it’s a wonder it’s not already policy at all migrant facilities.

But lefties opposes all efforts to impose modest requirements on migrants.

They blasted migrant curfews, for example, and now they’re moving to nix Adams’ 60- and 30-day limits for shelter stays for families and adults, respectively.

Calling those limits “cruel,” state Sen. Brad Hoylman-Sigal (Manhattan) and Assemblywoman Catalina Cruz (Queens), both Democrats, are pushing a bill to overturn them.

“Kicking people out to the streets,” huffs Hoylman-Sigal, does “nothing to mitigate the migrant situation.”

Wrong: It nudges shelter residents to find more appropriate living quarters for themselves, freeing up space for others.

As Adams spokesperson Kayla Mamelak told The Post, “A hotel room is no place to grow up or raise a family.”

And, no, the policy isn’t “cruel”: Any family who hits the limit can simply reapply for admission.

Remember, too: These are people, who in most cases broke the law to get here and, by any fair reading, have no legal right to any shelter here (the 1981 Callahan consent decree notwithstanding).

True, the best solution would be to demand President Biden secure the border and stop illegal migrants from entering in the first place.

But if lefties won’t do that, they can at least back Adams’ attempts to contain the crisis, even if it means imposing modest requirements on those benefiting from Gotham’s generosity.
