‘Help is not on the way’: Eric Adams faces grim reality Biden will not aid NYC in fixing migrant crisis
Sara Higdon

After meeting with congressional leaders and members of the Biden administration Thursday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams said he was not optimistic about getting help from the federal government to deal with the illegal immigration crisis his city is dealing with.

Adams noted in a Friday press conference that the city's residents are weary, angry, and "seeing the impact of the migrant and asylum seeker issue, how it is taking away from the resources that should go to the day‑to‑day services of running the city."

He said that he "did not walk out from D.C. with any level of optimism that anything is going to drastically change." Adams added, "It is clear that for the time being, this crisis is going to be carried by the cities."

Adams told the crowd that the city is in an "untenable situation right now" as it faces a $7 billion budget deficit, and it is "painful for the city" because "our federal government actions have taken a toll on the people of this city."

Goes to show how pathetically weak Adams is.  Once upon a time, Democrat and Republican Administrations feared the power of big city Democrat mayors like Richard Daly and Ed Koch, who usually told the White House what to do, instead of the other way around. 

Can you imagine Lyndon Johnson or John F. Kennedy blowing off Daly like that?

If Adams had any political courage and acumen at all, he'd use his bully pulpit to blast Biden publicly every hour of every day.  But he doesn't because he's a coward.

Needless to say, the schadenfreude is gratifying with these people!
