Eric Adams is late to the party with his epiphany about NYC’s ongoing migrant problem

Can New York be saved?

The fundamental question is on the table thanks to Mayor Adams.

His warning that the asylum-seeking migrant throng “will destroy New York City” makes this a five-alarm moment.

Adams is late to the party with his realization, which should have been obvious the moment President Biden threw open the southern border and the first batches of illegal crossers landed in Manhattan.

Why the mayor hesitated to sound the big alarm until 110,000 arrived here, with 60,000 living at taxpayer expense, is beyond comprehension.

What took him so damn long?

Part of the answer is that Adams is notoriously inconsistent and has been on both sides of the migrant fence.

He was initially boastful about welcoming them to his sanctuary city and helped arrange transportation for some with the Democratic mayor of El Paso, Texas, even as he denounced the Republican governor of Texas as a racist for sending bus caravans to New York (at the Port Authority, right) and other cities with black mayors.

Suburban warfare fail
To complete the circle of double talk, Adams tried exporting buses full of migrants to the suburbs, where most were turned back.

Leaders there don’t want any part of New York’s disaster.

As for his day job, City Hall’s role seems to consist mostly of opening new sites — the latest count is more than 200 — to accommodate all new arrivals.
