It’s interesting how much Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams sounds like a Republican when he talks about the effects of illegal immigration on his city.
Unfortunately, he still sounds like a leftist when talking about how to deal with the problem.
Recently, he did it in such a way that if he had been a white Republican, he would have been publicly crucified.
During a news conference where he was asked about rising crime in the Big Apple, he blamed the illegal immigrants who are coming into the city and are unable to work here legally.
“When I talk about the devastation impact that the migrant and asylum seekers, people only think about the volume of people that are coming in.

This is all correct, although it ignores why so many illegals are coming to the city. It is a lack of border enforcement by the politicians Adams and his administration support. He is part of the reason there is a problem.
He then said, “I mean you don’t even need an imagination to figure out that if you have someone four, five months, and say ‘you cannot work, you cannot feed your family, you cannot provide for yourself,’ what happens? You know, lack of opportunities, an idle mind is the devil’s workshop, as they say.”

They’re not the ones behind the looting and gang attacks.
What, criminals and mentally ill released from 3rd world country prisons and mental health clinics, respectively, are a all of a sudden a problem for these anti-American lunatics? No, they’re simply the convenient stool pigeons to be used on demand.
LOL!
The crime problem has been from VIOLENT BLACK MEN for fifty years. They know it (even if they don’t admit it) and everyone else does, too.
Racists!
