NYC Mayor Eric Adams calls on Biden admin to secure border: 'National problem'
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., joined 'Fox & Friends' to discuss Adams' handling of the migrant surge and how she thinks he has 'incentivized' illegal immigration.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams shifted blame to the federal government for the border crisis, prompting raised eyebrows from some critics citing his own record on handling the migrant surge.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., joined "Fox & Friends" Monday to discuss Adams' visit and why she believes he is just as complicit in enabling the crisis at the southern border.
"The mayor is right in the sense that he's saying this is a national crisis, but he needs to say that is a national crisis created by Joe Biden," Malliotakis told Lawrence Jones. "Joe Biden put in place the policies via executive order that created this mess. This was not happening under President Trump. It was not happening under President Obama, and it has reached a record high."
