Mayor: Why should my town bail out failure of Dems on illegal migrants?

As Republican mayor of Cornwall-on-Hudson in Orange County, James A. Gagliano was invited on a call with New York Mayor Eric Adams, where Adams encouraged the towns to accept migrants bussed from the city. Here, the retired FBI supervisory special agent, explains how the mayor dodged his questions. Views expressed here do not necessarily reflect the opinions of Cornwall-on-Hudson’s board of trustees.
“Number one: Because it’s printed in The New York Post doesn’t make it a fact.”
That was Mayor Adams’ curious response to me when I bluntly asked him on a May 12 conference call why upstate, rule-of-law communities like Orange County should bear the brunt of New York City’s defiant “sanctuary city” status.
Adams had recently begun unilaterally bussing people to upstate hotels without prior coordination with county or local officials, and mayors such as myself were upset.
