Many of the recent illegals are from African nations of Senegal, Mauritania, Ghana and Sudan. No idea why they would be "excellent swimmers".

“How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards.”
A reporter asked New York City Mayor Eric Adams about the lack of lifeguards for the city’s beaches and pools.
Going off on a tangent, Adams indicated that Gotham’s lifeguard shortages could easily be fixed if migrant work visas were being expedited for those jobs that needed to be filled quickly.
SNIP
The man didn’t stop. Apparently, Democrats think the people can only do certain jobs:
“If we had a plan that said, ‘If there was a shortage of food service workers and those who fit that criteria, we’re going to expedite you,’ if you have experience that you are a nurse and we have nursing shortage, we would expedite you,” he said.
“It’s the same for lifeguards. We have all these eligible people waiting to work, with the skills we need to do the jobs, but we are unable to allow them to work because bureaucracy is in the way.”
Why does he assume they can swim well when many were flown into the country.
Not the Bee.
Cause they’re wetbacks?
“there are many fine swimmers among those folks from South of the border”. IF another political figure had said what Adams said the media would be screaming “RACISM”.
These DEI Democrat politicians are so odd. Almost all of them are just so ridiculous.
I know and am great friends with some accomplished black people who should be embarrassed by this comment.
I saw this announcement yesterday. last night we watched episodes of the program Royal Pains. There were several beach scenes in the Hamptons with life guards prominently on display.
The illegal life guards will find jobs in the Hamptons where there are beaches
And he probably thinks Blacks would be good watermelon inspectors
Homegrown people now refusing to be lifeguards? Is this another job Americans refuse to do?
That’s the first thing I thought, that this has got to be the Bee.
They could be in the Olympics.
Everyone knows that most homeboys can’t swim.
Mayor,
There are 300,000 illegal chinese young men in fighting trim in the country. Surely they’re the best swimmers since they came all the way across the Pacific ocean.
Whoops! They’re not here to be lifeguards.
Cause another demographic in the City isn’t known for its swimming skills?
“Wetbacks” are good swimmers? Is that his premise? LOL. New York is electing morons. Maybe that is why they are having trouble.
Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Why not hire sperm.
Sounds like a racist comment to me.

Upwards of ten million lifeguards.... I really don’t feel all that “safe” about this.
