NYT's Mara Gay’s unreal demand for NYC to do more for migrants

By NY Post Editorial Board

What planet does The New York Times’ Mara Gay live on?

Writing on Mayor Eric Adams’ response to 95,000-plus illegal migrants showing up in the city this last year, Gay bewailed the Big Apple’s “tepid welcome.”

She slams him for supposedly ignoring the city’s rich immigrant history, assailing his failure to provide more than basic services — and that only “grudgingly.”

He’s not “putting the country’s largest municipal government to work helping them build new lives,” and even did flyers telling them not to come!

Hel-lo: Past migrant waves got the sink-or-swim treatment, not free housing and meals, let alone flat-screen TVs, PlayStation and Xbox games.

Yes, they could work legally, but then again they’d arrived legally, not exploiting loopholes in asylum law.

I am not faulting Mara Gay here.  She is simply asking NYC to live up to the standard they have set and back up what they preach.  If New York declares itself a "sanctuary city", then they should act like a sanctuary city.  And people like Mara Gay who support that 'sanctuary' should be the ones who pay for it.
