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.

Mayor Adams scratched his head in disbelief: “Here we have a large body of people in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and we also need lifeguards — the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard,” the mayor ended disconsolately.
🙄🙄🙄
Me, too; but then I remembered that this guy is always stepping in it.
Black folks pride themselves on rhythm and the ability to sing and dance....but I’m not sure that’s ever saved a life.....swimming however......
They’ve drowned there, too.
NYC, vote for more retards.
Well, they did swim the Rio Grande. 🤡
Because all of their best swimmers came to the U.S.
They teach CPR to the beat of Staying Alive.
Are we getting illegal immigrants from Australia? I do not recall Venezuela dominating Olympic swimming events.
In my experience blacks are poor swimmers. Not a sport they enjoy. The things that make them excellent sprinters and jumpers make them poor swimmers, as a group.

How insensitive, I can’t believe Trump said this.
Wetbacks are excellent swimmers said the dumb black libtard mayor
Not the Bee?
The Bee should hire Adams as a Contributor.
Well they did swim across a river to get here. /s
The coach of this year’s US men’s Olympic swim team is a black guy named Anthony Nesty a gold medal winner fr Trinidad Tobago.
It’s confusing to me too.
But most of all he has been a LIAR all his pathetic life.
OMG...I laughed when I thought it was that dude who wrote Dilbert.
That idea may have begun because in past times, Black people who grew up in urban areas didn’t have a lot of opportunity to swim; but now they do and lots of them enjoy it and swim well.
There’s a similar old canard about Blacks disliking dogs. Some of the most avid dog breeders and dog-show participants that I know now are Black.
You know, maybe he could ask the black unemployed to work as a fry cook in a chicken restaurant.
