Adams says he can’t get meeting with Biden as thousands of migrants stream into NYC: ‘It baffles me’
New York Post ^ | Dec. 26, 2023 | Nolan Hicks

Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that he’s baffled he can’t get a meeting with the White House to talk about the Big Apple’s burgeoning migrant crisis — even as thousands of asylum seekers arrive in the city every week.

“The federal government said to New York City: ‘We’re not going to do our job — you do our job. You take care of 4,000 people a week, Eric, you and your team,'” Adams said at a press conference.

“Those who should have been helping us in government — every step of the way, [they] just critiqued us,” he lamented. “I’m not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel from the federal government.”

....

Cities should not be handling national problems.”

...

The Big Apple has struggled over the last year-and-a-half to deal with mammoth numbers of incoming migrants — a figure that’s now exceeded 161,000, according to city officials on Tuesday.

That includes about 4,000 who arrived just last week — making 16,000 in the last month, Adams said — and more than 68,000 who remain in city care.

Well, Mr. Mayor, you voted for this madness, so now you have to deal with the fallout.

I guess he’s an idiot. He doesn’t know he’s supposed to stay in line.

Has Adams taken down his city’s “Sanctuary City” sign yet?

81 million

This is why you don’t defraud the American populace.

You wind up with incompetence.

Someone needs to give him a copy of Cloward and Piven’s work, and Saul Alinsky for good measure.

It might educate him (maybe, maybe not).

Hey Eric! What does “sanctuary city” mean to you? What a phony, deluded liberal Democrat you are.

Wow, Mayor Adams. The president sure treats you in a shabby manner. Why, some might even call it “racist”!

Impeachment of Biden must be followed with conviction by the Senate; and conviction will require Democrats. Maybe some, like Mayor Adams who has begun to smell the coffee, will see where their duty and their loyalties lie ... not with the most unAmerican of all presidents, but with America.

Nassau and Suffolk County, to the east of NYC, don’t have illegal hordes camping out on the streets because their County Executives didn’t advertise sanctuary invites. They advertised don’t bother coming here because there are no freebies to be had.

Adam’s is baffled because he’s empty headed.

“the whole demonrat party is incompetent.”

Not if their GOAL is to destroy the USA. If you wanted to destroy the USA from within, what would you do differently than what the Dems are doing?

They are, most unfortunately, very competent at destroying the greatest Constitutional Republic ever to exist and, by owning education, they have assured that most of our populace is too stupid to understand what is going on.
