New York City Mayor Eric Adams has called for migrants to be sent to every major city in America as he continues to try and solve the Big Apple's overwhelming immigrant crisis.
The mayor has reopened many of the city's closed hotels and turned them into migrant shelters to deal with an influx of asylum seekers in the past months and expected arrivals in the coming weeks.
However, on CBS' Face the Nation Sunday, Adams told host Margaret Brennan that this is 'not a burden on one city' and proposed a shared solution.
The mayor revealed New York City had received 70,000 migrant asylum-seekers since August and 42,000 are still in the city, with the crisis only expected to worsen after the end of Title 42.
'We have 108,000 cities, villages, towns,' he said. 'If everyone takes a small portion of that, and if it's coordinated at the border to ensure that those who are coming here to this country in a lawful manner is actually moved throughout the entire country, it is not a burden on one city.'
Adams claimed that New York City does not have the resources capable of handling the wave of migrants sent to the city by bus by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
The Democrat, was reportedly dropped from President Joe Biden's 2024 campaign advisory board after criticizing the White House over the catastrophe.
Adams strayed from the Democrat party line in April to blast: 'The president and the White House have failed this city.'
He instead turned his ire toward Republican legislators on Sunday.
'The problem is that Republicans for far too many years have failed to deal with real immigration reform,' he continued. 'This is a national issue.'

Send them to northern Alaska.
Wait a minute, didn’t I just read that NYC lost half a million citizens in the last few years? Come on Mayor, there should be plenty of room, just confiscate the vacated real estate. You know your inner tyrant wants to.
Phoenix votes no. We have been getting migrants slipping over the border for decades. Enjoy the suck, Adams. Man up, do your fair share and provide the sanctuary that incentivized them to come here to Phoenix and now to New York. Your circus, your monkeys, dude.
Hey, NYC...
You asked for them.
You made yourself a ‘sanctuary city’
So keep them to yourself.
The receiver can’t tell others where to send them unless he is (legally) resending what he got.
What is this crap about NYC not having room to accommodate all these migrants? There was just a story yesterday about how NYC has shed 500,000 residents in a fairly short amount of time.
Heck with that!
Send them BACK to Mehico...let them sort them out.
The countries the illegals are from have a military/police presence that is a small part of the populace. They control the weapons and hence, the people. We should just train and arm the “migrants” to go back and overthrow the bad leaders. That might work if they were not lazy and unmotivated. Is that racist?
No Eric. You have the sanctuary city
42,00 illegals is a slow week for the massive metropolitan city of El Paso.
Suk it up NYC.
EC
Hey Mayor..... here’s a radical idea for you.....why don’t you scream at president potato-head to SHUT DOWN THE BOARDER.......that would be an actual solution to your problem. Do you have the balls to do that ???
It can’t be that crowded. Meghan Markle just had a high speed 80 mile an hour chase in Manhattan that nearly ended in catastrophe..and she wasn’t wearing a seat belt cosplaying Diana
Narcissists gotta narc.
“Adams claimed that New York City does not have the resources capable of handling the wave of migrants sent to the city by bus by Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.”
Philly, Chicago, San Francisco, Los Angeles, St. Louis, Detroit, Minny/St Paul, Portland, Seattle should share in the burden. Every Sanctuary City should be lining up to take these people in, welcome them with open arms and tax their citizens to house and feed them.
I’m cool with that.
PDJT has mentioned that he would round them up and send them back. He needs to do more than just mention it.
His bombastic battle cry for ‘24 should be “SEND THEM BACK”, instead of “build the wall”. Build the wall, of course, but get rid of the dross PINO Joe already brought in.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams is a lying, murdering traitor to the United States of America.
“... migrants to be sent to every major city ...”
That’s the plan and not just major cities.
They should only be sent to sanctuary cities. And, there are plenty of them.
What he SHOULD have said so these sanctuaries could live up to their virtue signals.
Adams is a half-wit, a#@ clown who wouldn’t know what the ‘burden’ of illegal immigration looked like if it fell on him from the 10th story!
