Yes, Mayor Adams, the migrant crisis is ‘destroying’ NYC — but YOU have to fix itBy NY Post Editorial Board
Published Sep. 7, 2023
In what’s becoming a familiar refrain, Eric Adams teed off on the migrant crisis during a town hall Wednesday night.
“I’m gonna tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I didn’t see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this.” he lamented.
“This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City.”
OK.
So what are you going to do about it?
You are the mayor of New York City. This is why the people elected you — to solve problems.
To make sure that Gotham doesn’t fall.
Yet you’re acting like the guy with the “End of Days” sign outside of Penn Station, a bystander to your own disaster.
We don’t need more rants. We need solutions.
First, let’s lay the blame where it belongs: President Joe Biden.
It’s his open border policies, and complete disregard for NYC, that have fueled this crisis.
Fellow Democrat Kathy Hochul has been no help, refusing to suffer any political backlash as governor for accepting migrants outside of New York City.
It is your fellow Democrats, not Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who are behind this.
Abbott, whom you call a “madman,” bused a tiny fraction of the migrants here today, but guess what? This is where they all wanted to come anyway.
Why? Because you are beholden, not to a law or a court decision, but to an “agreement” struck with ultra-liberal groups decades ago that claims New York City has a “right to shelter.”
