New York City Mayor Says He Has to Go to Italy to Solve Migrant Problem

New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced this week that he's traveling to Italy in hopes of solving the migrant problem in his own city.

"I'm traveling to Rome because the solutions to the problems facing our city, country and planet must be solved together—by sharing ideas and strategies," Adams wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "We will be talking infrastructure, climate change, the asylum seeker crisis and so much more."

Adams also shared a video in the post where he is seen speaking about his trip to Italy and plans to meet with Pope Francis.

"Headed to Italy, part of an overall finding our common grounds, how we deal with migrants, asylum seekers," Adams said in the video. "How we deal with affordable housing, our economy, sustainability. Just some important issues and the most significant moment for me is the opportunity to meet our holy father, the Pope, his holiness. And this is the start of a journey."

The comments by Adams about migrants come as New York City has seen thousands of migrants traveling to the city in hope of asylum after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.

Since last spring, the city has taken in more than 175,000 migrants. Immigration remains a major political issue ahead of the 2024 presidential election, amid heightened levels of migrant border crossings.

Just an excuse to have a nice vacay on the taxpayers’ dime. No other excuse or reason.

Adams is a shake down artist
It’s as he says,”all about the money”.
No bid contracts awarded to his buds?
What kind of kickbacks is lining his hidden bank accounts.
