Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced on Friday he’s declaring a state of emergency over the uptick in illegal immigrants entering the metropolis.
The move comes in response to GOP Texas Governor Greg Abbott sending busloads of illegals from the southern border to the city of New York in the past couple of months.
“New Yorkers are angry. I am angry too,” Mayor Adams said. “We have not asked for this. There was never any agreement to take on the job of supporting thousands of asylum seekers. This responsibility was simply handed to us without warning as buses began showing up. There’s no playbook for this, no precedent.”
Oblivious to the hypocrisy of his own Democratic Party, Adams said, “We cannot deprive longtime New Yorkers of support and services even as we address the needs of these new arrivals. It’s not sustainable and it is not right.”
The mayor also said he was “angry” that New York’s compassion was being “exploited by others for political gain” and claimed the “humanitarian crisis” is being “accelerated by American politics dynamics.”
Of course, Republicans have been trying to sound the alarm bells for years regarding the extreme humanitarian crisis at the southern border where men, women and children are robbed, raped and beaten to death while making the dangerous trek into America.
That journey is Hell compared to the air-conditioned buses provided by the Abbott administration and the state of Texas.
As Fox News reporter Bill Melugin accurately pointed out on Twitter, the “sanctuary city” of New York has received around 17,000 illegal immigrants from Texas in the past six months while the state of Texas will see that number of illegal border crossers enter in a three-day period during high-traffic months.
While Adams acknowledges the economic and systemic stress the illegals are putting on the city of New York’s programs, he ignores the incomparable stress put on border states.
With Mayor Adams requesting $1 billion in order to address the “state of emergency,” his administration will have about $60,000 per illegal immigrant sent to the state.
The hypocrisy of the Democrats is being exposed on the national stage just before midterms.
