New York City Mayor Eric Adams declared in a town hall event Wednesday evening that the city’s migrant crisis “will destroy” the city, while ripping the Biden Administration for not doing more to help the city cope with an influx in so-called asylum seekers.
“We turned this city around in 20 months, and then what happened?” Adams said.
“It started with a madman down in Texas, decided he wanted to bus people up to New York City,” he said, referring to Texas Gov. Greg Abbot’s program of busing migrants to blue states in an effort to make them share the burden of record border crossings.

“110,000 migrants,” Adams continued. “We have to feed, clothe, house, educate the children, wash their laundry sheets, give them everything they need — healthcare.”
“Month after month, I stood up and I said this is going to come to a neighborhood near you,” he added. “But we’re here. We’re here. And we’re getting no support on this national crisis.”
Adams, who stated while he was campaigning for mayor that the city would remain a sanctuary under his administration, said Wednesday that New York City is seeing the arrival of 10,000 migrants per month — first from Venezuela, but now also from Ecuador, Russia, and Western Africa.
“Let me tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this,” he said.
“This issue will destroy New York City — destroy New York City,” he emphasized. “The city we knew, we’re about to lose.”
Maine has also experienced similar waves of migration, primarily from sub-Saharan Africa; however, political leaders in the state have to speak so frankly about the crisis.

IT WOULD BE FAR LESS EXPENSIVE FOR NYC TO BUS THSE PEOPLE TO WASHINGOTN D.C. OR TO THE BIDEN ESTATE.
Take note Maine — flush you Democrat Governor before you’re singing the same song.

So, essentially, have all the immigrants stay in Texas and destroy Texas …. BUT now that its in MY (aka Eric’s) backyard that’s a problem. The Governor of Texas is a bad man! Roll out the propaganda. Stop Trump! Yeah, okay ….
But, lets look at the big picture. We’ve had immigrant issues before. Obama, whose not gay just likes to bang men, built the cages. Trump was called evil for using the cages. Then under Biden – who saved us from these horrible cages – has had a welcome sign out! So, obviously, the problem is the governor of Texas. Hmmm. Only clownworld logic gets to that result and ignores the irony that this started under the guy Eric wanted for President, the man who literally promised to reverse all the evil things of Trump … and is doing a good job of that.
But, okay, let’s back-up, yes, the Governor of Texas bussed folks. Yeah, true. But, why did he bus immigrants? Well, essentially, their states would be destroyed with a problem they didn’t want. Imagine all the immigrants just hanging out in Texas. Or, even a majority of them. We’re already hearing horror stories. Or, maybe they wander over to Florida, with that other evil Governor who doesn’t support the graceful Biden, Florida already faces huge immigration and crime problems. How about they get 10,000 immigrants a day? It would destroy these states. I know nothing about other border states.
So, Governor Abbott said: lets share the problem with those encouraging mass immigration. Yes, it absolutely turns immigrants into pawns. But, aren’t we ALL pawns for the big money, Black Rock, power players, etc. Thus, the problem is that those who encouraged this got their own medicine and don’t like it.
And, here’s my supporting facts: “Adams, who stated while he was campaigning for mayor that the city would remain a sanctuary under his administration.” So, Adams wanted immigrants, and welcomed them, but now he says he doesn’t want them anymore and is a problem. So, are we to believe Adams only wanted like a handful? Maybe just a token few to declare victim status without actually having to raise a finger?
Is Governor Abbott really to blame if he took Adams at his word? Cause really, if he didn’t bus folks up, Adams would have welcomed immigrants from somewhere, as he was open to them, right? Or, was being a sanctuary city soooo far from the border (given the number of asylum seekers of Canadian descent is minimal, LOL), he figured he could be a sanctuary state without really being one. Cause who is going to trek all the way north, right? The weather is horrible up here compared to the amazing Texas! Abbott called his bluff. And, now he’s pissed. No pity. That’s all this is.
But, I do have a solution: house them in Eric house. Under communism one would have one room for an entire family, so let’s return to those days – which Eric approves of – move him into ONE room, and house some immigrants into some others. Being black he should approve, or does he not want to help his fellow brothers, kings and queens?
Ah, remember the days of Elian? How times have changed!
To Eric Adams – You proclaimed NYC was a “Sanctuary City. Be careful, in this case, you got what you wished for😖, deal with it!
