Mayor Eric Adams has drawn criticism lately, after the city's plans to build a tent city for asylum seekers in the Bronx, as well as the latest reported plan to house migrants on one of Norwegian Cruise Line's luxury vessels upon arrival in the Big Apple.
But the NBC New York I-Team has uncovered a more immediate problem facing the city and the migrants who have overwhelmed the shelter system: Many of the babies in the system are not getting enough to eat.
During dinnertime at the Queens Travel Lodge, a baby boy has already finished his bottle of milk. He's still hungry, but his mother says at this shelter there are no refills.

This mayor is such a disgrace, nothing is being taken care of properly under his watch.
And its not just the babies
An average sized pregnant woman in the first tri-mester needs 1800 calories a day, in the second
2200 and in the third 2400. They are currently being fed 230 calories a day for dinner. Thats equivalent to 2 pieces of bread with butter.
Me.
