NYC Mayor Eric Adams doubles down on call for changes to city's 'sanctuary' status amid migrant crisis
Fox News via MSN ^ | 2/26/24 | Greg Wehner

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday doubled down while speaking to a group at a town hall meeting in Canarsie, Brooklyn, saying the sanctuary city law needs to be modified so that any migrant who commits a felony can be turned over to ICE and deported.

Adams commended his administration for doing an excellent job during a challenging time, but stated his hands are tied by federal and local law.

The mayor spoke about some migrants participating in robberies and using mopeds to commit snatch and grab stick-ups.

The issue, Adams said, became a real problem, so the police chief and his team focused on the illegal mopeds and found many of the people committing the crimes had drugs and guns.

But he said not all the migrants and asylum seekers were committing crimes and many of them were there and want to work.

The mayor blamed migrants not being able to work on federal lawmakers, adding the migrants need to have the right to work like everyone else.

"But those small numbers that are committing crimes? We need to modify the sanctuary city law, so that if you commit a felony… we should be able to turn you over to ICE and have you deported," Adams said.

"It is a right to live in this city… and you should not be committing crimes in our city."

Mopeds are illegal but illegal aliens aren't illegal. Eric still doesn't git it.

OK, now, go back to what felonies traditionally were to start with.

He must see the handwriting on the wall, or someone is pressuring him because elections are coming up and if democrats keep up their present tack, they must think they are looking at getting their clock cleaned.

” using mopeds to commit snatch and grab stick-ups.”

Utube is full of videos from south of the boarder ...
moped zips in, guy jumps off back, or just grabs something..
then zips away.

Did anyone not think we would see this here... they bring their culture don’t you know. We are being enriched.

My favorite videos are the ones where the concealed carrier pops off a few and drops them in the street. I suppose we will see more of that culture in the future.

I don’t see any of this getting any better...

Eric, you are WRONG.

When we catch any illegal committing any crime we do not deport. We publicly hang them from a tall gallows and let the naked corpse hang until it rots and falls to the ground. We then pick it up and feed it to pigs.

Crime will decrease immediately.

Adams must see the handwriting on the wall.....elections
loom; Democrats are looking at getting their clock cleaned.


Democrats are “looking for a better life” and they figure voters are saying, “not in politics, buster.”

Voters walk the mean streets littered with illegals ...... they know its not safe
as politicians mouth the platitudes and hand out their tax dollars to foreign criminals.

This is where you ship them back to Texas and hang them on the south side of the wall so all of the newcomers see what's in store for them.

Adams knows violent Venezuelan gangs are sent here
and are the ones committing crimes against New Yorkers.

Adams is concealing vital information from New Yorkers: United States foreign aid
is the largest "humanitarian donor" of their tax dollars to the Venezuela "regional crisis."

Since FY 2017, the United States has provided Venezuela more than $2.9 billion tax dollars in "humanitarian assistance."

The US has vowed to work to "support Venezuelans"
with their tax dollars...... during their "time of need."

Why doesn’t Adams have a Sanctuary Residence sign on his lawn?

And Venezuela is now refusing to take them back.

We should be so wise.

Find a deserted island somewhere and drop them off there and keep an eye on it so they are not rescued. Or send them back anyways and tough luck Venezuela, they’re yours to begin with.

That commie lib “sanctuary” booschidt sure went out of style quickly once it started affecting the lives of ignorant, far left inhabitants of the U.S. Another RAT exploding cigar that blew up in the faces of idiots who can’t think for themselves.

Venezuela doesn’t want them back because Venezuela was able to clean out their prisons / mental patients and force their malcontents to go to the US…. What other tin pot dictator wouldn’t use the Biden open border opportunity to flush all of their crap away?
