White House won’t commit $1B to ‘border city’ New York after Eric Adams’ pleas
NY Post ^ | 01/06/2023 | Steven Nelson

WASHINGTON — White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre wouldn’t commit to meeting New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ request for $1 billion to handle the migrant influx into the city while seeming to acknowledge that the Big Apple has become a “border city” after record-breaking illegal border crossings.

Jean-Pierre name-dropped Adams at her regular briefing, noting that he “has been critical … of us” before touting a new “parole” program to facilitate a lawful 30,000 migrants per month from four countries in a bid to reduce illegal entries — without noting his persistent request for more federal funds.

The Post followed up with Jean-Pierre, noting, “Mayor Adams, who you quoted earlier, is requesting $1 billion from the federal government to help deal with the migration issue. In the city. New York has reportedly only been approved for $8 million. Does the Biden administration have plans to increase funding for New York and other cities, especially in conjunction with this new parole program?”

These cities who virtue signaled themselves by declaring them to be a sanctuary city never considered the repercussions of actually becoming a sanctuary city

Suck It

Indeed. A normally working mind would see the problem and then see the solution to fix it. Just stop the influx.

But, what can you expect from a mentally defective Democrat?

Adams forgot to factor in 10% back to the “Big Guy”;
Thought he and his friends could pocket it all.

It’s all part of the plan. Open border, bus illegals to NYC, NYC requests billion for help and taxpayers pay NYC. NYC gets their bailout they have wanted for several years.

The chickens are coming home to roost in Democrat controlled
cities. Even the sanctuary cities are balking now.

Martha’s Vineyard is my favorite to do so to date.

Then there’s Kamala’s neighborhood. LOL

This is where Schumer steps in. Don’t worry....NYC will get their money. Eric should send them to Buffalo.

Not really. See results of recent mid-terms.

Obama is from Chicago. Ain’t no way he’s having Jao Bai-din send money to New York.

I’d have been willing to bet the farm that Biden would print up so paltry a sum as that for a state so loyal to him and his evil. Color me surprised.

Eric the Dummy bragged about NY City being a sanctuary City, now the Dummy has the Sancturary Seekers but seems to know nothing about them coming to NY City.

There should be a law that states can’t send unwanted migrants to another state. All the migrants want to come to NYC because of the benefits.

It has to stop. We have to wait months for doctors’ appointments and weeks to get our prescriptions filled.

Yes, the Sanctuary stuff was poorly thought-out. But this is more than too much. Adams should declare an emergency and not let any more in.

I agree with that, but the leaders are screaming bloody
murder about how unfair it is for illegals to be in
sanctuary cities.

Nope. All the illegals should be bused to NYC until the elites in NYC start screaming for the border to be closed.

I agree the border should be closed, and so do most people here, Rep and Dem alike although the Dems aren’t allowed to admit it.

Then start electing politicians that will support that - or hold the ones you get responsible.

Or get out of the way so we can ship more illegals up there to break the system in such a way that the politicians will start crying uncle.
