NYC Mayor Eric Adams is the ultimate Democrat hypocrite. He talks a good game on running New York City as a sanctuary city but when he is called upon to welcome those he previously said he would happily welcome, he changes his tune. Suddenly he is full of whiny outrage that he is expected to care for those he said he would welcome with open arms.
He has been complaining that the federal government is not stepping up and paying the city’s expenses that the migrants cost them for shelter and food and medical care. He has been putting them up in nice hotels, which the migrants then trash. Adams set up tent cities for them and they refused to stay there. No one wants to cooperate with Hizzoner – not the Biden administration nor the migrants.
Adams is a surrogate for the Biden campaign. Why doesn’t he just ask his pal Joe to secure the border? Providing some guidance to the man he is helping to get re-elected seems like something a campaign surrogate would do. Instead, Adams has a plan to put the migrants on buses and send them to the suburbs. You can imagine how well this is going over in the ‘burbs.
Two suburban counties are declaring states of emergency. They are trying to stop the hundreds of illegal aliens expected to arrive via bus from New York City.
Orange County Executive Steven Neuhaus joined neighboring Rockland County Executive Ed Day in declaring a state of emergency.
“We are now declaring a state of emergency because we just don’t know what the vetting process is. Who are they?” said Neuhaus.
Neuhaus and Day, both Republicans, are against Democrat Mayor Eric Adams’ plan to bus in around 300 single men to live in hotels in the suburbs.
Day accused Adams of doing exactly what he complained about when the governors of Texas and Florida sent migrants to New York without consulting the city.
Exactly. The open southern border was all fun and games as long as the red states along the border were shouldered with it. Now that Governor Abbott is sharing the burden with those who asked for it, suddenly this is a terrible situation. The county executives say they are not equipped for the illegal aliens and don’t have the infrastructure to handle them. Since they object to being used as a dumping ground by the NYC mayor, his spokesman is criticizing their “racist rhetoric and reprehensible threats”, because that is what progressives always do. The suburban county executives are Republicans who are not going to take this sitting down. They are putting up a fight.
The emergency declarations prevent Adams from sending illegal aliens to their counties and require hotels and motels to have a license to house them.
“The Town of Orangetown and Rockland County are small localities that are not equipped to handle this sudden increase in the need for services as County Executive Day and the Commissioner of Social Services have pointed rightly out,” Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny wrote in a Facebook post Friday following news of the mayor’s plan. “I agree that this calls for a Federal, not a local solution. The people that NYC is sending to Orangetown have been failed first by the Federal government, which has not adequately addressed immigration issues, and now by the City of New York, which had let people know that they would take them in as a sanctuary city. To send these people to a location that is not equipped to meet their needs, is a betrayal of that often-expressed desire by NYC to be a sanctuary for them.”
There is a federal solution to illegal immigration because immigration policy is a federal responsibility. The United States has immigration laws on the books and policies were in place when Biden took office. He chose to ignore policies and agreements in place in order to do things differently than the previous administration. The border is never completely secure but it was the most secure it had been in recent years during the last administration. Biden thought a secure border was cruel, though, and did away with how the border was managed. We see the results. It is a humanitarian and national security disaster.
Mayor Adams has gone rogue. He does not have the authority to demand that other counties take migrants just because he wants to relieve overcrowding in New York City. The counties are right to object and do what they can to stop him. Congress should indeed act to reform the immigration laws on the books that need reform but the real solution is to enforce the laws already on the books and do what works. Biden had a blueprint of how to keep the border secure when he took office. All he had to do was continue with what was already in place. He chose to deny that success for purely partisan political reasons.
Hell with this - take ‘em to the Hamptons!
And make the denizens feed, clothe and house them with their own resources!
Adams should be paying Texas and Arizona the money they use to bus ‘migrants’ out of the city. Those border states could then use the money to bus them directly to where Adams wants them to go.
Makes it easy for NY City, and saves the border states some money.
Send them to Delaware and Washington DC! No more Mr. Nice Guys!
Martha’s Vineyard! Beverly Hills! Liberal cities like Detroit and Chicago!
Yes!
Wave after wave.
LOL .. this oughta be fun !
Put up/shut up time for suburban commutards :-)
time to ship ‘em upstairs...let D.C. handle them
Negative. We need to double the numbers we ship out of Texas to NYC. It needs to hurt NYCers even more to the point where they all stand up and demand their pet Congresscritters start actually enforcing the border laws.
Why do we want to make it easy for NYC?
way ahead of me...
Put those illegals in the vacant dilapidated government owned buildings in NYC. Have the illegals work in restoring those buildings to make them habitable again.
No more free stuff for illegals. Our ancestors didn't get free stuff. They worked hard and created a lot of the neighborhoods we enjoy today.
Excellent! He means building a wall at the border, doesn't he? What, no?
So the “adult” leaders of the US in DC and in New York City and the suburbs are passing the problem from hand to hand to hand. Just like the children in the hot potato game....

Eventually the illegals end up somewhere and yell “feed me” “house me” “I want a cell phone and plan” and “I want medical and surgical care and Social Security.”
Not the same game as Roy Scheider asking Gene Hackman in The French Connection:

“THEY” are an invading army of military age men......

Cities versus suburbs nearly always ends badly.
The origin of the growth of suburbs was to get away from the problems of the cities. Especially the dramatic Detroit “White Flight” which was present in some degree in most cities.
The triggers for many were the events in the big cities in 1943 and 1967, leading thousands to move out to the growing new suburbs.

Issue is that suburbs outside of NYC are not growing rapidly and can’t due to zoning restrictions. NYC has the deciding political power in NY State.
Palm Springs is nice this time of year.
[to the Hamptons!]
I have a house there. You can go into one solarium and then into the other solarium. Yes, I have two.
I also keep my horses there.
The houses certainly are breathtaking.
This is most definitely a LIE promoted by the media to make illegals seem needed. Suburbs outside of NYC have been brimming with whites and blacks fleeing big cities largely because of the explosion in numbers of mexicO's zillions. So much that there is already a housing crisis all across the state.
But the plan all along is to pack all small towns with the fruit of mexicO and destroy in particular the last enclaves of white America.
