New York City Mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency Friday in response to the continued arrival of illegal migrants from southern states.

More than 17,000 migrants have been bussed to the city since the spring, a small fraction of the migrant encounters at the border over that timeframe.

Adams said that one in five of people in the city's shelter system is a migrant, which is creating a "crisis," he said.

Deal with it. You claim NY City is a sanctuary so STFU.

[wny]

this guy is a major loser...

[GeorgiaDawg32]

17k migrants is a drop in the bucket and he’s declaring an emergency?

Hell, the southwest has MILLIONS..

[gundog]

I wonder what kind of powers come with this State of Emergency.

The Democrats and the Propaganda Media are being very quiet about how many of the illegal aliens in New York City were sent there by Democrat mayors like the one in El Paso.

Bingo. It’s like a guy ordering a pizza, then getting all upset when the pizza arrives. Stupid doesn’t begin to describe it.

Adams is an empty suit. He reminds me New Orleans mayor Nagin who freaked out during Katrina and ran away to Houston. Later he was convicted on corruption charges. Adams is cut from the same cloth. He reminds me of an organ grinder’s monkey.

The same people who “enriched” the lives of hundreds of Marthas out on the Vineyard are “sparking” a crisis in the big Apple. That’ weird.

Will somebody please tell this racist "Cracker" hating mayor that he has been diversified....and diversity is our strength!

[fretzer]

Send more. Then build a wall.

[Vaquero]

This must suck for you. Too bad.

[liberalh8ter]

Virtue signaling has consequences…..who knew? Certainly not leftist, elitist snobs.

[ConservativeInPA]

Migrants? Eff’n wetbacks. Illegal aliens.

[1Old Pro]

Hmmm, declaring yourself a “sanctuary city” has consequences.

[Bob434]

well, Texas should send lots more then to help NY build more shelters-

Q: Mayor Adams how will you handle this problem?

A: Eric will Pinot and Shit. This is how Eric flows. Ya feel me?

Q: Mayor Adams did you mean Pivot and Shift?

A: If Eric wants to have a glass of wine and take a shit, Eric doesn't have to answer to some reporter. Later, I got to bounce.

[BipolarBob]

Fly them to Marthas Vineyard. The migrants loved that place.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Enriching New Yawker lives one miggy at a time.

Did he just realize millions have been coming across the border?

No state has done anything to stop the invasion. In the case of invasion, each state can use the military to close borders and stop them. From our home TV we have witnessed the huge lines and crowds coming into our land, with no identification.. no one knows who they are.. and we wonder why isn’t the military at the border and stop this! I have not seen anyone doing so.

The only way to get the attention of these states, is to take them there and let the state have to do the managing of what should have been stopped long time ago”!
