The Challenge: Mayor Adams’ remark that the migrant disaster will “destroy New York Metropolis.”
I respect Mayor Adams’ feedback on the influence asylum seekers may have on New York Metropolis (“This may destroy us: Eric,” Sept. 8).
Metropolis residents have been seeing the influence of being a sanctuary metropolis for over a yr — makeshift housing and calls for for medical, social and academic providers.
The true questions are: What did the mayor count on? And the place are his Democratic Celebration allies?
Past that, accountable Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and former President Donald Trump is absurd.
The place is President Biden? Maybe he’s listening to Homeland Safety Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who asserts that the border is closed.
A really unhappy scenario certainly — for the asylum seekers and for the tax-paying residents of this metropolis.

So Adams is lastly shedding his endurance with the inflow of illegals coming into New York Metropolis.
Wasn’t he one of many individuals who needed to indicate his compassion for the “asylum seekers”?
The place are the overpaid Meeting members? What the hell do these Democrats do on the town, state and federal stage moreover search for methods to get former President Donald Trump?

Sadly, the invasion of our once-great metropolis and state may have been prevented.
The open border insurance policies of the president and the sanctuary metropolis and state insurance policies of New York have put us all on this untenable scenario.
Mixed with “legal reform” and defunding the police, Adams and Gov. Hochul have managed to show New York Metropolis and state into one costly hellhole.
I used to be all the time a proud New York taxpayer, born right here and lived right here all my life. However I plan on shifting to a non-sanctuary state, the place criminals don’t run free, youngsters are safely educated, and the police are revered and appreciated.
I believe many different New York taxpayers will comply with me.

Adams whines that the town will likely be destroyed by the migrant inflow.
But he was elected to guide, not whine. Actions converse louder than phrases.
When the migrant buses arrive, gasoline them up, give every passenger a field lunch and ship them to Washington, DC.

Adams has repeatedly said how proud he was that New York Metropolis is a sanctuary metropolis. Now, Adams is saying that unlawful immigrants will destroy New York Metropolis.
He’s additionally tried sending those self same unlawful immigrants to different communities in New York state, the identical motion as that of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott.
Adams fully disregarded this case to virtue-signal till it impacted him. Now, he’s inflicting that very same financial injury on different communities in New York state, reminiscent of mine. Who’s the madman now?
Adams isn’t a mayor, he’s the hypocrite in chief and must be held accountable by all these New Yorkers impacted by his failed immigration insurance policies.

Adams has nobody accountable however himself. He has continued to say that we’re a sanctuary metropolis.
He needed to understand that the Biden administration was not going to pay one little bit of consideration or actuality give our metropolis the funds to pay for the migrants.
Now that we’re on the breaking and bankrupt level, he’s crying. He’s blaming southern cities for transport the immigrants to different cities. Doesn’t he understand that they’re going broke, too?
He’s the one destroying our metropolis. There was all the time a authorized option to immigrate to our nation, however he and the federal authorities have chosen to rewrite these methods. Democrats will do something to get votes.

I noticed Adams’ rant about how the migrant disaster is destroying this stunning metropolis.
Eric, each New Yorker is aware of that you just induced this disaster. With out the slightest little bit of planning, you instructed everybody far and vast that New York Metropolis was a sanctuary metropolis.
You’re in method over your head. The subsequent step is as much as you. It’s good to apologize to the individuals of New York Metropolis and stroll away.
