Mayor Adams huddles with his El Paso counterpart Mayor Oscar Leeser after touching down to get a firsthand Serby Talks Q&A with Dexter
look at the border crisis Sunday. Lawrence
Adams’ visit came days after he projected the migrant crisis would cost New York City as much as $2
billion — twice what he had initially estimated.
Now on
He had called on federal and state lawmakers to help foot the bill for efforts to house migrants in his
sanctuary city. More than 39,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the Big Apple since the spring.
The mayor said Friday the city’s shelter system was at “its breaking point” and asked Albany to shelter
500 migrants as it planned to appeal to Gov. Kathy Hochul for an “emergency mutual aid request”
Adams had also demanded that the feds offset the cost of the city’s shelter initiative, seeking $1 billion in
FEMA reimbursement and as part of a $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill passed by Congress last month.

“That money comes from our schools. It comes from our public safety, our hospitals, our infrastructure, our
ACS services, those are our tax dollars that it’s coming from and we got to see an impact in every service
we have in the city,” Adams said Friday during a Caribbean Power Jam Radio interview.
“And that is just inhumane on the part of the national government. And I really believe it’s irresponsible,
that we have not had a real national response to what’s happening at our border,” he added.
New York City was currently housing about 26,700 migrants with an average of 400 new arrivals every
day last week, according to recent statements by the mayor and statistics released by City Hall on
Wednesday.

Yo Eric. All the indicators show that you’re nowhere near fit to be mayor of New York. Too big a

He is not looking at that, he knows about it, he thinks Texas, and El Paso specifically are
to do him in. Now he knows that Texas is much
worse off than he is! You hear what he says it is costing NYC, how much do you think it is
El Paso Texas? Or the Rest of the State of Texas!

Such a waste of time! Why doesn’t he just call Brandon and complain about the problem? Oh, I
now. The “Big Guy” won’t pick up the phone. Or return his calls. He’s too busy trying to locate
top-secret documents.

But then, when local gov'ts try to address the issue (a la "boxcar border wall") the Feds
the local gov'ts to stop addressing the issue the Feds ignore. Corruption runs deep.

What a waste of NY taxpayer money to have NYC Mayor down at border. As long as
iden/powerbrokers in DC actively encourage millions to come in, no local mayor has any say.
a pr stunt, nothing more.

That is a big step in the right direction. Now, let’s see how he follows through. My guess is he’ll
et a quiet phone call from the White House staff and quickly lose interest in the border. We’ll
if he’s grown a pair in a day or two.

Seems every jacket that Adams wears always has some kind of identify info.
At the border why does he need a jacket that says, "NYC Mayor". Who there cares ?
He must have a desperate need to be noticed. Probably why he spends so much time working
getting invites to parties, restaurants, etc.
