Adams: Illegal Immigrants Should Get Benefits Because They’re ‘Innocent’
Breitbart ^ | 26 Jul 2025 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 07/26/2025 6:04:36 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

On Friday’s broadcast of Fox 5 New York’s “Good Day New York,” New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) discussed the federal lawsuit filed over the city’s sanctuary policy and said that the law should be adjusted to allow for greater coordination with the federal government when it comes to violent criminals, but for people “who are going about following their next step on the American Dream that are undocumented. We should not be harming them at all” by denying them taxpayer benefits because they “are innocent people who are just trying to pursue the American Dream.”

Adams said that “when people use the term of sanctuary city, what we’re saying is that you have the right with your tax dollars to get the resources you deserve.”

I wish I could break the law and be innocent. Just let me use that for speeding tickets!

“”but for people “who are going about following their next step on the American Dream that are undocumented. We should not be harming them at all””

More bad writing - one sentence made into two....and the day has just begun - if you get up late, that is.

Mayor Adams, to whom I will grant is not of the type of leftists who want to simply destroy America and its economy, rather, I will assume he is of the type who grew up in a world in which costs did not count.

In other words, America could spend as it wanted without concern about how to pay for whatever seemed good at the time. We could do this, and we did do it because, for the most part, we could borrow and spend without consequences. Without the consequences of increasing taxes, usually without the consequences of inflation, without the consequences of joblessness, without felt personal deprivation. Ultimately without any conviction of the need for austerity or even prudence.

We could do this because we were the world's superpower, the world's reserve currency, the world's financial center, and the world's largest repository of capital. Moreover, our borrowing did not cause inflation because we imported cheap labor and exported expensive labor connected manufacturing and because the whole world was eager to buy our debt. We could borrow and spend without end, amen.

So any cry from a conservative politician for us to live within our means fell on deaf ears. Apart from the occasional bubble burst, neither taxpayers nor consumers had to feel pain, only federal largess. Politicians who preached austerity were forced to find other work.

Compassion was the watchword, entitlement was the byword, spending without consequences was the unanimous norm of governance.

Mayor Addams should not be expected to do more or be more noble than Republican senators, nor should he be expected to be more conscious that the music is no longer playing. Our president says that not only are the good times here, we are entering a golden age. Deficits do not matter, growth will solve all.

Why should leftists not believe that there is plenty of money to be had merely by wishing for it; after all, helping innocent but hard-working immigrants with free money is devoutly to be wished for.

Cut off the benefits: they take the $1,000 reward and travel money to self deport.

Wasn’t Eric Adams excommunicated from the Democrat party when he dared to suggest that all the illegal immigrants flooding into New York City were causing a financial strain during the Biden administration?

I think this is why he was forced to run for reelection as an independent.

Let me know if I am remembering this correctly.

1. ILLEGALS paid organized crime groups to help them break into our country. THAT WAS A CRIME. Less than 5% illegals pick crops. Most started collecting befits and working 'under the table' undermining wages for working class American.

2. The reason Biden opened the doors so wide for third world criminals, the mentally unstable and terrorists was because the DEMOCRAT PLAN FOR REELECTION WAS TO FLOOD THE COUNTRY WITH ILLEGALS THEN TURN THEM INTO CITIZENS (and have them vote democrat for three generations.)

3 If Trump brought in 30 million illegals willing to vote Republican for three generations does anyone think the stupid bimbos and pretentious 'men' of the MSM would ignore it? Or 'fight' to keep them here?

Adams is taking food right out of the mouths of the American needy.
I wish someone would point that out to these Zero Sum believers. Tell the middle class to work harder to support these ‘innocent’ individuals.

We should not be harming them at all by denying them taxpayer benefits because they 'are innocent people who are just trying to pursue the American Dream.'

So are "us" American taxpayers - we are innocent people just trying to pursue the American Dream by working hard and earning money to support ourselves and our families.

Adams has NO RIGHT to take our money and give it to foreigners - to "pursue their American dream."

Reminds me of when Obama said "You Didn't Earn That!"

Oh, hell yeah, I did.

It’s not a matter of innocence or guilt. We’re not the world’s welfare provider, where people can come here and dump themselves on our welfare benefits for citizens.

Most of the new illegals are victims of fraud. The NGOs operating in their countries of origin convinced them that, yes, the US has immigration laws, but they will not enforce them and, if you make it there, it will be a perpetual gravy train.

The NGO staff that perpetrated this fraud need to be prosecuted in the countries in which they operated.

Make a carrot and stick deal with Venezuela, Mexico, El Salvador, etc., so their AG’s can prosecute them. These NGO’s should spend the rest of their lives in a South American prison.

Insane positions like this will win, since the commie trash Moslem was pushed to the front deliberately to make Adams’ ideas seem sane.

Corrupt arseholes like Adams are funding the open commie.
