In the heart of New York City, a crisis is unfolding. The city’s healthcare system, once a beacon of medical excellence, is now on the brink of collapse.
The culprit? An unprecedented influx of undocumented immigrants seeking medical care. This surge has placed an unbearable strain on the city’s hospitals and clinics, pushing them to their limits and beyond.
Over the past year, New York City’s medical centers, spread across its five boroughs, have been inundated with nearly 30,000 visits from undocumented migrants.
This data, sourced from New York City Health + Hospitals, the organization that operates the city’s public hospitals and clinics, paints a grim picture of a healthcare system stretched thin.

The legacy media is suddenly saying there is a crisis, as they report that NY hospitals are being over run by illegals. When it was just red states (Tx and AZ) that were having to deal with this, they were silent. Now that blue states, who…— Gray Wolf (@graywolf442) October 5, 2023
In addition to this, approximately 300 newborns have been delivered by migrant mothers during this period, with Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan shouldering a significant portion of these births.
Dr. Ted Long, a senior vice president for New York City Health + Hospitals, who is at the forefront of the city’s health response to the migrants, described the situation as the most challenging work he has ever undertaken.
The strain on resources is not only affecting the undocumented migrants, but also U.S. citizens who are dealing with non-emergency legal issues such as addiction and eviction. For these individuals, wait times for services can extend into months, or they may be referred to other service providers due to the overwhelming demand.
The situation is dire, and according to those working in the field, there are waiting lists everywhere. People are being turned away or referred elsewhere due to the lack of resources. The need for additional resources for legal services is evident, yet the question remains – where will these resources come from?
Jazz Shaw, a commentator at Hot Air, provides a stark assessment of the situation. According to him, the entire system is overwhelmed. Whether it’s housing, food, clothing, or medical care, the resources of the city are being drained by the influx of migrants.
The burden of this crisis is falling on the taxpayers, who are footing the bill either directly or indirectly.
Biden was in NYC this week, but not to talk to Mayor Adams about his self-inflicted illegals crisis.
Not to address his NY voters’ concerns about how 113,000+ illegals will impact their hospitals, schools and other services.
And not to tour the 200 hotels and other cities where…

The situation has escalated beyond the point of absurdity. It’s time for someone to take decisive action, to do the job that the current administration seems to be neglecting. The majority of these migrants are not eligible for asylum, a fact known to the government. Yet, the influx continues unabated.
This crisis is a direct result of the policies of the Biden administration. The blame lies squarely on their shoulders. The question now is, how much more can New York City’s healthcare system endure before it breaks completely? More importantly, when will the necessary steps be taken to address this escalating crisis?
The healthcare system in New York City is at a breaking point. The constant flow of undocumented immigrants seeking medical care is overwhelming hospitals and clinics. The city’s resources are being drained, and the taxpayers are bearing the brunt of this crisis. It’s high time for decisive action to be taken to address this issue before it spirals out of control.
