“Today it’s El Paso, tomorrow it’ll be their cities.”
Mayor Eric Adams traveled to the border with a compelling message. “New York City is full.”
During Mayor Eric Adams’ visit to El Paso, Texas, he said New York asylum seekers are overwhelming the city.
“New York cannot take more. We can’t,” he said. “There’s no more room in New York.”
Adams called on city mayors across the country to join forces and handle the rapid migrant crisis.
“This is a national problem,” Adams said at a news conference in Texas Sunday evening. “ We must have real immigration reform and we must immediately have a short-term fix of making sure that the cost of this does not fall on our local cities.”
This reminds me of the Muslim migrant crisis in Europe where the western nations spent much of their time demanding that everyone had to take their ‘fair share’ of migrants.
Much like them, Adams is talking around the problem, because he can’t talk about the problem.
As he saw in El Paso, given the chance, a whole lot of the illegal migrants will head to New York City even if they’re assigned to a few other cities.
On Friday, his administration said more than 3,100 asylum seekers arrived in New York City in the past week, including 835 in just one day — making it the largest single-day arrival the city has seen.
“I knew it was time for me not to handle this problem from the city, but to come and to interact with the mayors across the country,” he said. “This has fallen on our cities.”
He told reporters Sunday that he plans on collaborating with mayors who are directly impacted, as well as those who aren’t.
“Today is El Paso, tomorrow it’ll be their cities,” Adams said.
He said he plans on being on the ground “as much as possible” and coming up with a “formal plan that’s coming from the cities to have the national government execute without input.”
The solution is obvious. Secure the border. Repeal the Senate’s ratification of the UN’s refugee treaty. And don’t let anyone inside unless they have a U.S. passport.
If Adams is thinking that, he knows enough not to say it. What’s his plan that he’s going to present to Biden? He never says it, but it’s obvious enough. Make it somebody else’s problem. Divert the migrants to other cities or resettle them in rural areas. And you don’t need to tell Biden twice. The trouble is how are you going to keep them down on the farm once they’ve seen New York City? Some migrants can be resettled, but others will keep on getting on buses to the Port Authority.
The only solution is to secure the border. Nothing else will work.\

Most, if not all, have internet access, have an idea about where they want to end up and it will be difficult (read impossible) to control the hordes. Keep them out or find them on your doorstep.
And certainly the terrorists among them will head for the big cities…esp NYC and its Time’s Square, etc.
adams knows what the problem is, but he is lily-livered when it comes to saying what he really wants.
GreekEmpress says
Yep. They’re showing up on our doorstep here. Yuma is worse. The local hospital is already $23 million in debt from treating illegal immigrants.
Kamala making an appearance in AZ today. To talk about ENERGY. Going nowhere near the border. For a “Border Czar”, how tone deaf can you be?
somehistory says
One of the definitions of “border”…a band or decorative strip.
Probably what she thought was meant by the term “border czar.” She’s not even good at being “decorative.” much less having an idea about what is best for her fellow citizens who pay her salary.
If you are I needed to be in hospital for any reason, we’d be billed and some added on to cover what they can’t get from the illegals. Charges for meds you didn’t receive, an extra day’s confinement when you were home, extra charges for tests not performed, etc.

Adams is fine with millions of illegals crossing the border if only they stay in those southern border states and cities .If they go north to NYC or other deep blue democratic cities were the bennies are big and easier to get they become his problem he wants the feds to solve the problem. What does Adams want to accomplish besides a photo shot visiting the border? He has no legal means to change the law will he talk to democratic congressmen and Senators from NY who were for letting everyone crossing the border to stay in NY without having local law enforcement to work with ice to remove them and still push to not enforce illegal immigration law and regulations on the books? Even illegals that end up in NYC jails are protected by NYC officials that refuse to work with ice to have them deported even after they finish their sentences for violent crimes.
VictorMc says
Britain is also ‘full’ but that doesn’t stop the endless stream of illegals.
Ignorant people in Britain ask what has happened to ALL social services.
They are so stupid it takes my breath away.
I for one (a Londoner born and bred) moved out of the country. years and years ago.
wpm says
Make the first world the third world with massive illegals overcrowding all hospitals, schools, housing ,all social services that seems the plan all over the western world with the leaders in charge.
James Lincoln says
wpm,
At some point – unless something changes – there will no longer be any more “first worlds”.
PRCS says
He doesn’t want the flow of illegal aliens to stop.
He just wants Federal monies to pay the costs that NYC is currently on the hook for.
dazzleme says
Imagine that, a typical socialist not wanting federal money to stop, even at the thought of losing our country!
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Dear Mayor Adams
Declare that NYC is no longer a sanctuary city and supports deporting ‘undocumented’ people out of the US, and states like TX may stop sending them to NYC. You don’t get to be a sanctuary city, and then complain when those ‘undocumented’ Democrats turn up for sanctuary
Scotsman48 says
Classic bleeding heart moron just like those up there on Martha s Vineyard with their signs welcoming ”migrants” but when a few turn up they are KICKED out within 24 hours.
