NYC Mayor Eric Adams Open to Collaborating with Trump’s Border Czar

[Social Media]

 

New York City Mayor Eric Adams sparked surprise and debate by expressing his willingness to work with Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, Tom Homan, to address the deportation of criminal migrants. At a news conference, Adams, a Democrat, declared his commitment to public safety and his refusal to shy away from contentious issues, even in the face of potential political backlash.

HOLY SH*T!

NYC Mayor Eric Adams just dared the left to "cancel" him over working with Border Czar Tom Homan and Trump.

"Cancel me because I'm going to protect the people of this city."

Adams, a former NYPD captain, stated that those committing crimes such as robberies, shootings, and assaults were harming the country and needed to face consequences. “Those are the people I am talking about, and I would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we're going to address those who are harming our citizens,” Adams, 64, said on Tuesday.

 

He emphasized that his stance was consistent with positions held by previous Democratic leaders, citing Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama as examples. “Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama—Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city, and what they said in our country. They said those who commit crimes need to get out right away. That was their position,” Adams said, defending his alignment with past Democratic policies.

 

Adams expressed frustration with “cancel culture,” noting its potential to stifle honest dialogue on complex issues like immigration. “In the era of cancel culture, everyone is afraid to be honest about the truth. Well, cancel me, because I’m going to protect the people of this city,” he declared.

 

As mayor of a self-declared sanctuary city, Adams acknowledged the complexities of balancing New York City’s welcoming stance towards immigrants with the challenges posed by an influx of migrants. Sanctuary cities like New York limit cooperation between local authorities and federal immigration officials, creating a delicate dynamic for city leaders.

 

Adams also highlighted his ongoing efforts to engage with federal leaders, expressing hope that the Biden administration would heed his concerns. “I am willing to sit down with this administration like I tried to sit down with the previous administration in my 10 trips to Washington to say: we have a problem that is overrunning our cities,” he said, according to Politico. “I’m hoping this administration will hear what I’m saying and listen to some of the ideas that I have been pushing for... close to two years now.”

 

He acknowledged that immigration remains a pressing concern among voters, including those in New York City, where support for Trump increased in recent elections. “The voters are stating, ‘We need to secure our border, we need to make sure cities are not experiencing what New York City experienced,’” Adams remarked, according to the New York Post. “The voters communicated loudly and clearly: We have a broken immigration system, it needs to be fixed. That’s the only conversation I want.”

 

By positioning himself as a leader willing to confront contentious issues head-on, Adams appears to be preparing for a re-election campaign in 2025, determined to address public safety and immigration challenges with boldness, even if it invites controversy.

He was on board until he figured out no Biden bucks were coming to pay for it all. That's when some local officials woke up and started crying. Meanwhile JNoe to their dismay pretended it wasn't happening. He would be singing a different tune if it brought in a few billion annually.

Adams will always have a warm spot in my heart for revealing the true cost of welcoming NYC's newcomers.  It was $12 billion over 3 years, for 110,000 newcomers.  That calculates to $36K a head per year.  Not just food and shelter.  That includes health care and policing and jailing and bilingual education and other services that get hidden when most Dems talk about the cost.  And we're already broke- $36 trillion in national debt, plus more $$ trillions in state, local, and personal debt.

 

Guy's got 'nads the size of bowling balls.  He's paying a huge political price for that.   I hope he gets an assist in his political career.

If only the southern states hadn't started busing all those illegals to NYC everything would be perfect.

If only if only if only, but they did. 😪
