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.”

Whenever I hear “they are just trying to find the American dream” and they reference how our relatives came to this country as immigrants as well, I usually ask how they know this?

Usually, the answer is that they know great grandpa came through Ellis Island.

I point out to them that Ellis Island (and all other ports at the turn of the last century) were LEGAL entry ports. We know they came through because we have records.

That immigration and the current “walk across the border” immigration are NOT the same thing.

Innocent. I think they broke our immigration laws. No benefits. They take the $1,000, free flight home, and self deport.

I don’t care about illegal alien dreams of living off the stupid gringo. Deport every single one.

If you’re an illegal getting free stuff from the city and you use some of it to buy things any sales tax you pay goes back to the city who gave you that money in the first place. New York is truly lost.

The American Dream is not to pursue benefits.

No immigrant, no illegal, no legal, no naturalized citizen should come to the US to receive Government welfare, benefits or grants.

F@#$ you, Adams! What part of “illegal” didn’t you get? An American who’s guilty as Satan can get benefits once he’s served his time and been released. Someone who hops the border, even if he’s a good little invader, CAN NOT!
