Eric Adams is, obviously, a big supporter of open borders, of not stopping illegals/migrants from entering the U.S. He’s just not OK with them being bused to NYC, as he learns all the problems unfettered illegal immigration brings

Adams admits NYC schools, health care ‘inundated’ by migrant influx, but blames ‘callousness’ of border states

New York City Mayor Eric Adams admitted Sunday that public schools, the health care system and infrastructure are going to be “inundated” with the influx of migrants from the U.S.-Mexico border.

As illegal immigrants and other migrants arriving to the Big Apple on buses from southern border states stretch the city’s homeless shelters thin, Adams implored that all New Yorkers must welcome and fall in line with the city’s plans to house the influx of people, saying: “Everyone’s block is going to be impacted by this.”

“We’re looking at the potential of emergency shelters in hotels, in other facilities. We want to get our faith-based community involved. If there ever was an all-hands-on-deck moment this is it,” Adams said at an unrelated press conference, before criticizing the “callousness” of southern border states, instead of the Biden administration for its immigration policy.

“Our system was inundated with those who were seeking shelter because of the callousness of the states that pushed them out. We’re here. We’re receiving them, and everyone is going to have to be on board,” Adams said. “We can’t have the historical ‘I believe they should be housed, but just don’t house them on my block.’ Everyone’s block is going to be impacted by this.”

See, the border states are supposed to just suck it up, allow their systems to be overrun, to see spikes in crime, to deal with disease spikes, and everything else that comes with them. Same with all the places that the illegals were being bused and flown to by the Biden admin, which didn’t seem to be places like NYC.

“We have to add our advocacy with our ability to help our neighbors. And we need everyone on board with this,” the mayor said. “Because as I stated last week, our schools are going to be impacted, our healthcare system is going to be impacted, our infrastructure is going to be impacted. But we’re going to be willing to do our job – We’re going to do our job, and we’re going to need all New Yorkers to be with us.”

You can bet that the high toned and fancy to-do sections of the city will be exempt from all this, along with the area around Gracie Mansion, where the mayor resides.

VICTOR JOECKS: Blue city mayors channel Republicans on illegal immigration

It’s a lot easier to be supportive of illegal immigrants when they aren’t straining your city services. Just ask two of the most prominent Democrat mayors in the country.

Washington, D.C., mayor Muriel Bowser complained recently about the costs of helping those in the country illegally. For months, Texas and Arizona have offered illegal immigrants free bus rides to D.C. That’s significantly increased the number of undocumented immigrants there, and the city can’t handle it

This month, 10 City Council members sent the mayor a letter claiming those helping illegal immigrants are “burned out and overwhelmed.” The letter continues, “Migrants are being directed to existing district systems and resources intended for district residents. Without action, there is a risk of these systems being overwhelmed.”

“We are dealing with a federal issue that the District of Columbia won’t be able to bear,” Bowser said last week in response to the letter. She demanded a “federal response.”

D.C. and NYC are finding out the consequences of supporting unchecked illegal immigration first hand, and they do not like it. Now the border states need to export the illegals to other liberal cities. Sacramento has a ton: give them more. Send them to Portland, Seattle, Syracuse, Boston, and so many others. Especially Rehoboth Beach, where Biden spends most weekends.
