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.

The words “clueless bigot” just seems to fit Adams perfectly...
Mojados are not “excellent swimmers”-if they were, people would not be finding the drowned ones in the river/on the bank and border patrol would not be rescuing live ones from drowning all the time...

True, but that’s unrelated to the shortage of lifeguards in many communities. The way to solve the shortage is to raise the wage.

If it swims like a duck,

Besides showing his bigotry, Token Adams ignores that the lawsuits will fly when the first child drowns.

THEY WALKED ACROSS. SWIMMING NOT REQUIRED I was making a joke. You have heard of the concept of "joke?"
It's possible you haven't since people who feel compelled to use all caps are usually pretty "stoopid."
