New York City Mayor Eric Adams denied that the migrant crisis he faces was an inevitable outcome of being a sanctuary city.
Republican governors like Gov. Greg Abbott, R-Texas, have sent buses of asylum seekers to Democratic-controlled states and sanctuary cities. Republicans have argued the action is necessary to show the rest of the country what border states are dealing with due to the surge of migrants.
In a recent GOP primary debate, Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley argued that the migrant crisis overwhelming Democratic cities was the inevitable outcome of impractical policy.
"This is putting harm on our schools, on our hospitals. Taxpayers are paying for it. You see these mayors are now upset about it. The only reason Eric Adams is now upset, why? He shouldn’t be a sanctuary city then," she said. "That’s why we have to defund sanctuary cities. Now Governor Abbott finally did to them what’s been happening to Texas for so long. We’ve got to put an end to this."
Many would-be-illegal immigrants tactically use asylum law to enter the United States legally as so-called "asylum seekers," but Adams appeared to call out Haley for conflating the two.
"Well, national leaders should have national knowledge of policies. This has nothing to do with sanctuary cities," he argued in an appearance on "Good Morning America" on ABC. "Migrants and asylum seekers are paroled into the country, they are here legally. And so when you have a national leader talking about ‘sanctuary cities are the reason we’re having this,' it is telling me she’s not knowledgeable on the real topic."
Adams went on to say, "The problem is, when you parole someone into a country, you should have a decompression strategy on a national level to spread it throughout the country and not target just certain...

Words. Stop “paroling” them . Send them back from whence they came.
Bill DuhBlasio, now this guy. I guess New Yorkers can relate to low IQs.
“...nothing to do with sanctuary cities...”
But Mayor, it has EVERYTHING to do with “sanctuary cities”.
That is the MAGNET that is pulling these people in, and you have already set yourself up as the magnanimous and benevolent savior of these souls bereft of all hope or redemption.
Just tell good ol’ Joe, “NO MAS, TOMAS!”
He really does take the general population to be abject fools.
How did New Yorkers go from electing Giuliani to someone this criminally stupid?
Just imagine if the GOPe weren’t half the uniparty this stampede of illegals would have ended a couple years ago. Or even a couple decades ago.
You solved your own problem, Mr Mayor. Since they are merely asylum seekers there is no need to supply them with sanctuary city goodies.
The problems will all go away until the hundreds of thousands get to vote in the next local election and put the cartel boss in charge of the city.

Awwww....just like crime has nothing do to with criminals either, right Eric?
THIS is exactly what will happen with our airline industry with the mentally unqualified people the FAA wants to hire.
They ARE NOT here legally. They are here by Administration Policy that ignores, perverts, misuses and abuses existing statutes and the Republicans in the House are too cowardly to act upon.
Obama started all this with his illegal DACA policy - never statute, and not supported by extension of any existing statute.
I don’t think the problem will go away because places like NYC has made it entirely probable that these illegal slags will vote in its elections
I don’t think there is a fix for his kind of stupid.
Right. Addams accuses everyone else of being stupid except himself. Promises of free stuff in sanctuary cities is a powerful magnet.
Can they even be deported if they are in a sanctuary city? Isn’t that the reason for these sanctuaries? Hands off these “poor unfortunate souls?”
It’s not like we’re sending him white males. What’s his beef?
Illegals are not *paroled* into this country legally.
What the government and courts are doing is not necessarily legal.
Texas is only sending them only to sanctuary cities and states. Biden is sending them all over the country.
NYC has RCV for a reason.
Gothamites aren’t foolish.
Adams: the liberal kind of stupid. I am always amazed that people vote for fools like him.
Adams needs to retire, he still doesn’t get it.
