Eric Adams wants to revoke NYC's 'sanctuary city' status amid massive migrant influx
Post Millenial ^ | 5-13-23 | Hannah Nightingale

As New York City deals with a massive influx of illegal immigrants, Mayor Eric Adams on Thursday said he was asking a judge to revisit the city’s sanctuary city law.

"The law of sanctuary city was in place long before I became mayor. I’m following the law. As a law enforcement person, you know, we follow the law," Adams said. "We are now in court now, today, asking the judge to revisit this law to deal with this humanitarian crisis because, even when they decided to put in place that law, no one thought they would be dealing with a humanitarian crisis of this proportion."

The Sanctuary City thing is such a load of b.s. We learned that from Martha's Vineyard, when 50 migrants were sent there and the people went bat-****crazy.

They are just virtue-signaling hypocrites.

Sanctuary city or anything is actually AGAINST the law…US law.

America fought a civil war over a few states that declared they would no longer abide by federal law.

No givesies-backsies - enjoy the suck, New Yorkers.

he should ship them to Shitcago. Shitcago's new mayor says they have an obligation to help all that go there.

Grant him his wish! Send tens of thousands of criminal, illegal aliens to Shitcago, they want them there!

That’s a little different. :-). There was no law.

Small areas declaring themselves able to violate the law is blatant insurrection.

It’s one of true things Trump should have pressed on but was never brought up. I’d love someone to arrest the mayors and councils that declare this.

Yeah, but we're getting pretty close to some states declaring themselves to be sanctuary states.

Sure, it was a "sanctuary city" - until it was time to do sanctuary city stuff. Now it's whoa-a nelly!

“>>>no one thought they would be dealing with a humanitarian crisis of this proportion.”

Adams bitch slapped by the Law of Unintended Consequences.

Eric Adams says that Lady Liberty is from France, so send "your tired, your poor, your huddled masses..." (etc.) to France.

Philly's mayor got wildly excited when Philly became a sanctuary city, so maybe Eric Adams should bus all his illegal invaders down to Philly.

Move the migrants out of NYC. Then nuke it.

I always thought sanctuary cities were virtue signaling. This action alludes to it being the case.

Did these guys think a few million immigrants were going to stay in Texas?

Even illegals don’t want to go to New Haven.

Too late. Suck it up, have a few more bus loads of illegals. Maybe set up some cots at the mayors office for extra space.
