Perhaps it wasn’t the best idea of the Biden-Harris administration to go after Adams in the same way they’ve gone after Trump? Because now he’s apparently had an epiphany and thinks that having criminal illegals in his city is a Bad Idea
Commit a crime, get deported before doing the time.
Mayor Eric Adams said Tuesday that he’s open to deporting migrants from New York City who have been charged with crimes — a shift from his past stance of waiting for convictions before shipping off immigrant criminals.
Adams said he soon plans to meet with President-elect Donald Trump’s new “border czar” Tom Homan on the incoming administration’s plans to potentially deport accused migrant criminals.
“My position is people who commit crimes in our city, you have abdicated your right to be in our city and I am open to figure out the best way to address that,” he said. (snip)
He added: “Those who are here committing crimes, robberies shooting at police officers, raping innocent people, have been a harm to our country.”
Hizzoner contended many progressives in this era of “cancel culture” have been afraid to put their foot down on deporting criminal immigrants.
“Cancel me, because I’m going to protect the people of this city,” he said.
That is a heck of a switch. What brought this on? Has he truly had a change of heart? Is this a change because the Biden-Harris admin came after him? Was he or someone he knows a victim of crime by an illegal alien? Of course, he’s only talking about going after illegals who committed crimes other than crossing the border illegally, so, that leaves a lot of illegals in Sanctuary City New York who he would seemingly protect. Will Adams allow the NYPD to assist with picking up illegals who weren’t gang members, felons, rapists, murderers, thieves? You know most cops would want to call ICE.
Maybe it’s the cop in Adams who wants those who are actual criminals, and never should have been allowed into the US, to pay the price, since Adams was an NYPD captain. Maybe he sees all the criminality in the streets of SCNY. The prostitution, the theft, the assault, the constant parties and activities that cause issues for the residents of SCNY.
Obviously, this has set the pro-criminal illegals off
(UK Guardian) Immigration advocates condemned the mayor’s comments and called for an apology. Adams is “ripping a page from [Donald] Trump’s playbook, stoking fear and spreading disinformation”, said Murad Awawdeh, president and CEO of the New York Immigration Coalition.
“We should be able to expect that the mayor of New York City has a basic understanding of the constitutional rights of the people he serves,” Awawdeh added.
The city’s public advocate, Jumaane Williams, posted on X that Adams’ comments “scapegoat migrants arriving in our city for his own failure to support policies that benefit New Yorkers”.
“He denigrated immigrants and non-citizens as unworthy of basic rights,” Williams said.
They do realize they are talking about migrants/illegals who committed crimes, right? Serious crimes that hurt other people, right? Is this the hill they want to die on? Do they think most Americans will support the position of protecting criminals from deportation?
I don’t want illegal aliens deported before doing the time; I want them punished first, then deported, so they’ll be less tempted to sneak back in.

Criminal penalty for illegal entry: A fine and/or up to 6 months in prison for the first offense, and up to 2 years in prison for subsequent offenses.
Do we have room for imprisoning 20 million ‘illegals’.
On the other hand, knowingly hiring an ‘illegal’ can result in a fine of $250!! Just the cost of doing business (if you’re even caught) with cheap labor.
Let’s say a packing plant in Iowa has 100 undocumentos. Even the max fine would be $250,000, or a week’s profits. Hiring undocumented workers is a sound business decision. The Repubs will control the White House, Senate, House and Supreme Court – will they toughen the laws to make the US a less attractive nuisance?? Now that’s a rhetorical question. If anything they will loosen the reins. I can’t find that any hiring official has been to jail for hiring ‘illegals’.
You want cooperation from big businesses, lock up a few C-level officials for a year. Or nominate them for the Cabinet.
We see where Peter Navarro is out of prison just in time to become a trade adviser for Big Donnie. Maybe he will advise to lock up a few hiring directors of Tyson, Smithfield or Cargill, to keep those companies from using ‘illegals’ to generate their export products.
Laken Riley’s father, Jason Riley feels overwhelmed over how politicized the circumstances surrounding his daughter’s death have become. “I think it’s being used politically to get those votes. It makes me angry. I feel like, you know, they’re just using my daughter’s name for that. And she was much better than that, and she should be raised up for the person that she is. She was an angel.”

We have lots of land in NM, NV and West Texas…. Barbed wire is cheap and we can us the illegals to build the fence.
Or, if you surrender we’ll send you home. If we have to catch you will keep you for 5 years and then send you home.
Obviously, being a civilized nation, with civilized sensibilities, we deny to ourselves multiple options that would work very well. It is widely known in immigrant circles that the best way to travel home for the holidays is to “turn yourself in” to the ICE for a free ticket. This obviously is not seen as a punishment to the criminal alien. And keeping them locked up for 5 years only punishes the taxpayers. There needs to be a third way. One uncivilized way would be beatings. If you go on your own, you are allowed to go unhindered. If you are caught, you get a beating (caning by a trained professional with medical staff on standby– we aren’t Barbarians) followed by immediate deporting. Also, if you are caught you have all your assets seized by marshals service as “ill gotten gains” under existing asset forfeiture laws. If you are caught a second time, you get another beating AND a tattoo on your forehead to assist identifying you later. If you get caught a third time, you don’t get a beating. You get put to death. At that point, it is obvious, you aren’t learning and have no intention of living within the law. If you are illegally in the country and kill a citizen, you get the death penalty, carried out within one year.
Without teeth and unpleasant consequences, there is really no reason why every person on the planet doesn’t have a second home in the USA, subsidized by the citizens.
It is not hard to get rid of illegals, just tell them to go home and cut off all services. Those that remain can go to concentration camps, something we have done before for large groups.
As to the idiotic work example above, the owner of the plant is paying his employees at a very low level, not hiring unions workers and pocketing employment taxes. S just put these folks in jail.

Good question.
Better question.
Why didn’t the Democrats do that?
