Getting desperate: NYC Mayor Eric Adams is suing bus operators for $708M because he’s had it with being a sanctuary city
Citizen Watch Report ^

HOW IT STARTED: Next mayor wants NYC to be even more of a ‘sanctuary’ for illegal immigrants.

Every single one of the eight Democrats running for mayor vowed to protect illegal immigrants from deportation, solidifying the Big Apple’s often infamous status as a “sanctuary city.”

Entrepreneur Andrew Yang, the son of legal Taiwanese immigrants, said, “I appreciate anyone who comes to this country or New York City for a better life.”

And Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams said migrants were his neighbors growing up in Queens.

“My mother worked two jobs to provide for the six of us and we had a group of undocumented residents that lived in our community,” Adams said.

All Adams needs to do is end being a Sanctuary City and announce he will be rounding up illegals and sending them back to their native country. The cost of doing that will be far less that supporting them. He then needs to side with Trump and campaign again Biden.

Sorry, I stepped into fantasyland for a bit.

"The cost of doing that will be far less that supporting them."

The left likes to cite the cost of deportation as being unrealistic. Horse bleep. The cost of keeping illegals and their future generations here is not sustainable.

Mayor Eric Adams’ administration on Thursday sued 17 bus companies that have hauled more than 33,000 migrants from Texas to the Big Apple — claiming they should pony up the $700 million it cost the city to care for the asylum seekers.

Suit should be thrown out for lack of standing.

You can’t be sued for participating in legal commerce.

Hey mayor. SHADDAP. The problem starts with yer boy Joe. If he would uphold his oath of office, you wouldn’t be having this problem. Don’t blame the bus companies. The illegals are free to go where they want to go courtesy of DHS. So, SHADDAP.

Are the bus lines licensed to operate legally in NY? Do the drivers have proper CDLs?

Then mayor mccheese has nothing to hang his hat on.

The invaders cross our borders from some 136 countries, looking well-fed, rested
and clean.....like they just stepped off a luxury tour bus, ready to meet the tour guide.

They seem to be very well-connected. There’s no apparent confusion: they know exactly
what to do, who to meet, and they act cooperatively, in accordance with well-laid plans.

I surmise there’s a lot of government coordination, starting with maybe a govt selection
committee that hand-picks invaders....... among a list of people the govt doesnt want.

I have no doubts that govt coordination includes members of their govts colluding with our govt.

The bus lines aren’t the problem. They are hired to perform a a service so I expect the suit to be dismissed quickly. Why not aim the lawsuit at the real problem? Biden’s policies and Mayorkas’ lack of leadership.

It’s not meant to be sustainable. It’s meant to collapse the system.

The feds were busing illegals unannounced to random locations all over the US long before TX and FL were redirecting them to NYC and Chicago.
Do we expect the charter bus companies to deny services to TX but not DHS, ICE, DOJ etc.?

It’s like an alcoholic suing the company that makes the glass bottles the bourbon come in.

Hey Eric, were in the middle of an INVASION. It’s no longer just TX, now it’s in YOUR BACKYARD. These migrants are inconvenient now, but just wait for the massive increase in crime. Maybe you will finally wake up and tell that corrupt retard pretending to be president to fix this.

Willing to be that the moment a Republican becomes President this fidiot will be all over the executive branch to do something about the border.

There’s no such thing as a sanctuary city in these United States. It’s a false narrative. The Immigration Laws of the United States over rides any State Law or ruling...or whatever you want to call this Sanctuary City Cr**.

Stopping “sanctuary” and announcing they are working with CIS to deport illegals would cost nothing, too. Then their multibillion dollar hemmohrage would stop overnight.

If the city government refuses to enforce federal law, then in fact it becomes a sanctuary city of sorts.

That’s right. Blame it on the bus drivers. It’s not their fault that all of these illegal foreign invaders want their “american dream” to happen in the shiny, Big Apple. New Yawk has all the best pizza joints. Now Jo Jo the Pedo needs to sue the Keeper of the Gateway to the American Dream, AMLOpendoor who funnels all this crap into our country. Without the Mexican el Presidente’s help, this invasion never could have occurred.

I hope the bus companies countersue him for illegally interfering in interstate commerce. I hope they sue him for the damage to their businesses and seek punitive damages that will cause the voters in New Yokel City to boot Mr. Adams to the curb where the only job he will be qualified for will be greeter at Wal*Mart.
