At some point?
Democratic President Biden IS gonna have to respond to this issue which is NOT confined to just New York City….
There are some who think Adams and the cities welcome mat’s are working against him and other’s….
And has Republican’s ahead of Biden even more on the issue of Immigration….
Mayor Eric Adams escalated his rhetoric over the migrant crisis on Wednesday night, claiming in stark terms that New York City was being destroyed by an influx of migrants from the southern border and saying that he did not see a way to fix the issue.
“Let me tell you something New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to — I don’t see an ending to this,” the mayor said in his opening remarks at a town hall-style gathering on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. “This issue will destroy New York City.”
Mr. Adams, a Democrat in his second year in office, has clashed with leading members of his party as New York City has struggled to provide housing and services to the migrants, who now number 110,000. For months, Mr. Adams has criticized President Biden and Gov. Kathy Hochul for failing to help the city provide for the asylum-seekers and pleaded for additional funding and expedited work permits.
In recent weeks, the mayor has sought to increase the pressure, holding rallies and coordinating social media campaigns about the current and looming impact of the migrant crisis. In particular, Mr. Adams has focused on how it was hurting New York City’s budget and would prompt widespread cuts to city services.
But the mayor’s comments on Wednesday were his most ominous yet, and they drew praise from Republicans and condemnation from some Democrats…..
…
Mr. Adams repeated the critique on Wednesday.
“We’re getting no support on this national crisis,” he said.
New York City has a mandate that it must provide shelter to anyone who needs it — a policy that has presented an enormous challenge for Mr. Adams, who has tried to weaken the mandate through legal and strategic measures. He has sought to appear welcoming to migrants while also raising alarm about the financial impact of hosting them.
He has received criticism from all sides. Ms. Hochul and the White House have assailed his management of the crisis. Republican leaders, some of whom have sent buses of migrants to New York, argued that the mayor should not complain because he championed New York City as a sanctuary city. Left-leaning Democrats have called the mayor’s rhetoric toward migrants xenophobic.
