Breitbart ^ | 11/19/2023 | Amy Furr

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is begging his wealthy neighbors to help foot the bill, the New York Post reported Friday, as costs regarding migrants climb.

“This is a moment where it’s an all hands on deck moment,” he said during a Police Athletic League event, according to the Post.

Post.

The report continued:

“The way it goes, New York goes America goes, but I’m going to need you more than ever to support many of these organizations like PAL, Robin Hood Foundation, and others,” the mayor told the crowd, which included Tony Danza, John Catsimatidis and Mitchell Modell, the former CEO of the sporting goods chain.

“A moment where our philanthropic interests must align with some of the gaps and services that we are seeing today,” the mayor continued.

It’s ironic Adams is sucking up to the wealthy in his time of need.

They were the first he lied to, duped them but good, to get his filthy hands on
their money....said he was a “different” candidate, “so just give me the money.”

Later the snookered donors were outraged ...... he turned out to be the same old, same old.

They’re not citizens so should get NOTHING

The fact is that our federal government allowed and supported the entry of illegal aliens - to the tune of 10 million+ and counting. Both democrats and repubicans are responsible, although Obama and Biden have taken it to a new level. The one primarily to blame for this travesty is our federal government, which is complicit in the invasion on our southern border.

When you have a republican House unwilling to impeach DHS Secretary Mayorkas - a lying criminal like his boss, all I can say is "we are in trouble." There is no will to deport the illegal invaders. There are powers in play who are changing the demographic and body politic of our nation through illegal means. It won't end well.

First take the Illegals out of expensive Hotels and put them in tents and hire some retired military cooks to feed them and if they refuse tents send them home

Recently the UAW strike leader wore a T shirt that said Eat The Rich.

Now types like Adams say you rich people owe it to us so pay up.

Rev. Jackson and Rev. Sharpton could have said the same but they must have been preparing sermons for the congregation at church on Sunday morning.

In the gated mansions, the rich people say “We gave money to them already. They’re supposed to shut up as part of the bargain.”

Great idea. Put them in tents. Lay down some rules they must obey or be deported. Get some military in there to supervise *their* own work to prepare food. If they don’t like it put them on a bus and send it to the border. Actually it might be better to put them on a plane and fly them to Panama.

“The way it goes, New York goes America goes, but I’m going to need you more than ever to support many of these organizations...”

Am I the only one reading this and picturing Lumberg saying this to Peter (in Office Space).

“Hmmm, yeah, Uh, Peter, I’m gonna go ahead and have you go ahead and come in tomorrow. And Sunday too.”

His policies drive the wealthy OUT of the City while at the same time INVITING illegals INTO the city. Like so many other sanctuary morons, This guy lacks critical thinking skills and has no common sense.

A simple threat would work: “ If we don’t get enough extra funds, then tents will be placed in your neighborhood.”

The solution couldn't be more simple. Just bring in Comrade Kaprugina, the Chairman of the Residence Committee...
Upon returning home to his opulent estate in Moscow, Dr. Zhivago discovers 12 other families now sharing what he once had all to himself. The chairman of the residence committee, Comrade Kaprugina, tells Dr. Zhivago, “There was living space for 13 families in this one house.”

“Yes,” says Zhivago, “yes, this is a better arrangement, comrades. More just.”

What he should have said: “I need your money to pay for tickets for the new arrivals to go back to where they came from.”

He’ll never say; “I’m going to need you to fly them on your corporate jets back to where they came from.”

They dont care

The whole point is they can shelter it via accountants, so it doesn’t affect them.

Being a sanctuary city is just not sustainable.

Certainly not when said city has to actually provide sanctuary to thousands of crimigrants. But these fools spout their liberal platitudes not really thinking they'll have to put up.
