I am most certain Mayor Adams will personally welcome them with open arms as he represents a sanctuary city.

Adams greets border-crossers — but suggests most skipped crime-riddled city over ‘fear’

Mayor Eric Adams greets asylum-seekers at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
Around 14 people got off the bus early Sunday, joining at least 50 who have already arrived in NYC.
The mayor suggested that the most likely reason was “that because of the fear that something was going to happen to them if they came to this location, people got off earlier.”
“And we are concerned about that because we don’t want people being dropped off [just] anywhere,” he said as the handful who did get off, including young kids, were processed and then led out to cabs.
