New York City has spent over a billion dollars on housing migrants in hotels — part of a move that is both unfair to the public and representative of the city’s misguided priorities. 

An internal document obtained by the New York Post found that 153 of the 193 migrant shelters in the city are hotels, motels, or inns. Of the $4.88 billion in tax revenue given to migrants, $1.98 billion has been specifically spent on housing. That’s a $352 tax per household.
