Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday suggested migrants should be hired to fill the city’s lifeguard shortage — because “they’re excellent swimmers.”
Hizzoner dropped the comment after being asked during a City Hall briefing about lifeguard staffing at the city’s beaches and pools, which have increasingly had issues in recent years, ahead of Memorial Day.
Going off on a tangent, Adams indicated that Gotham’s lifeguard shortages could easily be fixed if migrant work visas were being expedited for those jobs that needed to be filled quickly.
“How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards — and the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard,” the mayor said.

What if the wage for lifeguards was much “as it would cost to get people to work as lifeguards”?

So who here would want to receive CPR from one of these Illegal Lifeguards????
They would most likely stomp on your chest and spit in your face while trying to revive you.

Only a person of his protected ‘social stature’ could get away with such an incredibly tone-deaf and bigoted statement.
