The Big Apple’s democratic and progressive left is increasingly on the ball. Eric AdamsA good ex-cop, he is less than happy to see migrant errands being literally “dumped” in his city with the security problems that ensue, and takes a pragmatic and critical stance on the open-borders rhetoric that his party so strongly endorses at heart to infuriate various left-wing extremist associations that protect immigrants. In the past few hours, Adams has criticized the Republican Texas governor’s program Gregory Abbottthat sends buses loaded with migrants to big Democrat-run “haven places” like New York and Washington, DC.
The “Sanctuary Cities” in the US are the ones that have decided to limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities to protect irregular immigrants and avoid their deportation. If they agree with what they say, these progressive and good-natured administrations shouldn’t have any trouble welcoming thousands of migrants, right? That must have been the thought of Abbott, who devised a trap into which mayors fall, increasingly confused and torn between protecting their citizens and being as “hospitable” as possible.
Abbott exposes Dem’s hypocrisy towards migrants
Mayor Eric Adams criticized the Texas governor for sending busloads of migrants into the city, saying Abbott “used innocent people as political pawns to create a crisis.” Unlike Gov. Abbott, New York City will “always do its part,” he said on Twitter, posting a snap welcoming migrants and refugees arriving at the Port Authority bus station downtown. Manhattan. “It’s awful when you think about what Abbott is doing,” Adams noted Sunday.
Both Adams and the Mayor of Washington, Dc, Muriel Bowser, They are calling for federal aid to help their cities cope with the new influx of migrants, many of whom are supported by volunteers, nonprofits and shelters, and city officials. On Friday, Abbott – who is in the midst of a re-election campaign – poked fun at Adam’s description of New York as a “sanctuary city,” calling it an “ideal destination for these migrants.” Since April, Abbott has been sending migrants to Democratic-run cities on the east coast to pressure the Biden administration to protect the southwest border. More than 6,000 migrants arrived in Washington, DC from Texas, prompting Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser to ask the US Department of Defense to deploy the National Guard (a request later denied by the Pentagon).
Adam’s demands on Biden infuriate liberals
In July, Adams asked the US President Joe Biden massive federal funding to support asylum seekers arriving in the metropolis, which is steadily increasing. New York City, Adams said, “needs additional federal funding. If we don’t get this much-needed funding, we may find it difficult to provide our refugees with the appropriate level of support they deserve.” However, New York’s network of liberal and far-left groups did not like the mayor’s comments at all. In response to that Legal Aid Society and the Coalition for the Homeless condemned the mayor’s comments, condemned the ongoing searches of refugee camps and called on City Hall to allocate more funds to support affordable housing development.
Meanwhile the Internal Security Department Officials in US President Joe Biden’s administration announced the end of the “Remain in Mexico” policy implemented by former President Donald Trump’s administration, which forced migrants to wait in Mexico while awaiting their asylum applications.
