The Situation: Mayor Adams’ declare that migrants can’t be housed at Gracie Mansion on account of “authorized points.”

So, Mayor Adams’ plan to deal with unlawful immigrants at Gracie Mansion fell aside (“No roomies for Adams in any case,” June 16). No shock there.

Adams brushes off this newest fiasco by saying: “Good generals lead from the entrance.”

Nicely, good generals obtain victories, a consequence that appears to elude Adams at each flip.

Within the phrases of a real normal, George S. Patton Jr.: “Wars aren’t received by combating battles; wars are received by selecting battles.”

Adams constantly chooses the improper battles and achieves little, whereas expending big assets — not the mark of a reliable normal. Outcomes, not phrases, matter.

Does the boss of the Adams household actually anticipate us to imagine that he would permit an “asylum household” to reside in Gracie Mansion (which belongs to the taxpayers)?

Would they’ve needed to cross by means of metallic detectors, as our high-school college students do? How a couple of background verify and a drug check? Adams would want a whole precinct to guard him.

Critically? One or two households in Gracie Mansion would make a fantastic “Saturday Night time Stay” skit for TV.

The day when the variety of unlawful immigrants surpasses the variety of authorized residents in New York Metropolis appears to be arriving.

How lengthy can the federal government, in any respect ranges, maintain these huge intrusions? Extra necessary, what’s to turn into of those tens of millions of individuals?

However, I think about that sure fields of employment, akin to agriculture, are enthusiastic concerning the persevering with arrivals.

It was very good of Mayor Adams to supply Gracie Manson as an answer to deal with unlawful migrants.

As an alternative of providing the “individuals’s home” at taxpayers expense, he ought to provide up certainly one of his private properties as a present of actual management.

However as they are saying, speak is reasonable.

The Situation: A California scholar’s criticism of Israel throughout her graduation speech.

One other antisemitic rant towards the Jewish individuals by a graduating scholar, Jana Abulaban, this one from El Camino School in California (“Anti-Israel rant at Calif. school, too,” June 15).

Fatima Mousa Mohammed, who graduated from CUNY legislation college, additionally lately made her derogatory remarks towards the Jewish individuals.

I’m wondering if this would be the new regular now, the place college students who graduate from school make statements like this.

What’s much more disturbing is that the individuals in attendance applauded.

That is completely unacceptable in our society at present. We don’t want any extra hate, particularly in graduation speeches.

At many graduations in the USA, graduates are subjected to hate-filled, antisemitic and anti-Israel graduation speeches.

They get away with it with barely a reprimand from the administration of those establishments.

Jews and Israel have at all times been a simple goal, and plainly a whole lot of haters are taking goal observe.
