Eric Adams, the mayor of New York Metropolis, is in a bind. He’s a black Democrat, dependably on board with all of the insurance policies favored by progressives plus a aspect order of corruption [New York Mayor Eric Adams faces nepotism claim after reports he appointed his brother to a $240,000 NYPD job, by Joshua Zitser, Business Insider, January 10, 2022]. A type of insurance policies, nonetheless, is inflicting critical pressure to his metropolis’s finances. That will be the open Southern border that each main events favor.
Provided that immigration is a nationwide difficulty, mayors of border cities and governors of border states understandably consider that the downsides of an Open Border needs to be unfold nationwide, not concentrated of their localities. Overwhelmed with unlawful border crossers, they’ve been flying and busing them elsewhere, primarily to the massive cities that illegals need to go to: New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, and Washington, D.C.
Since this began in a giant approach final Spring, New York Metropolis has taken in sixty thousand illegals, placing up most of them in lodges and city-run shelters, at a price of near a billion {dollars} [Eric Adams wants FEMA to ban cities from busing migrants to NYC—as 1,300 arrive this week alone, by Bernadette Hogan and Emily Crane, NY Post, April 27, 2023].
Two weeks in the past, His Honor went to Washington, D.C. to beg for extra federal funds to assist cope with the disaster. He didn’t get smacked down as onerous as his predecessor Abe Beame had underneath the Gerry Ford administration, in a distinct fiscal disaster 48 years in the past—the episode that impressed the New York Day by day Information to the memorable front-page headline: FORD TO CITY: DROP DEAD[October 30, 1975] Adams wasn’t happy, although, saying, in accordance the NY Publish, above:
The difficulty isn’t the asylum seeker. The difficulty is the truth that the nationwide authorities isn’t doing its job.
What’s the federal authorities’s job, in accordance with Mayor Adams? Its job is, one, to provide his metropolis a wad of federal cash to assist take care of all of the illegals, and two, to provide all of them permission to work so that they received’t be indigent[Mayor Adams Urges Biden Administration to Provide Expedited, Emergency Paths to Work Authorization for Asylum Seekers Ahead of Title 42 Lifting, NYC.gov, April 19, 2023].
Why doesn’t Hizzoner ask the feds to ship ICE brokers in pressure to spherical up and incarcerate all of the illegals till they are often deported, as federal regulation not solely permits however requires?
Why? Want you ask? New York is a Sanctuary Metropolis. New York welcomes unlawful aliens.
And in any case, as Adams certainly is aware of, on the first indicators of a mass arrest a mighty host of legal professionals would descend upon town to dam the arrests with authorized niceties.
And you may after all quibble with my utilization of the phrase “unlawful.” The coverage of the Biden administration in the direction of unlawful border crossers is to declare them authorized, extra exactly pseudo-legal, by govt motion. As a headline within the April twenty ninth New York Publish put it: Mayorkas tells migrants: Don’t break the regulation! That’s my job! [by George Fishman]
Though the New York Publish was being a bit too type to the border-jumpers there. A number of days later—simply immediately, the truth is—it ran an illuminating report by veteran border watcher Todd Bensman, writing in regards to the explicit case of Venezuelans, one of many greatest nationalities within the Biden Border Rush of the previous two years.
A excessive proportion of those Venezuelans left Venezuela after the nation’s financial and political collapse ten years in the past, relocating to protected third international locations like Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile and Argentina. They’d settled into snug, even affluent lives in these third international locations. Then, listening to from pals and relations that the united statesA. is large open, they’ve determined to move up right here.
Quote from Bensman:
Many will ultimately need to lie on authorities kinds or to authorities brokers about the place they’ve actually been, a lie that could be a federal crime that may deliver as much as 5 years in jail if ever investigated.
So my utilization of the phrase “unlawful” in these instances is actually justified.
And naturally their lies by no means will be investigated. The place immigration is anxious, our legal guidelines are a joke.
You generally see folks ask, in remark threads or Letters to the Editor, why Congress doesn’t do one thing: go legal guidelines which can be stricter, much less simply gamed by the Government.
Reply: Each events in Congress need the border open—Republicans to feed low cost labor to their donors, Democrats to appease their race lobbies.
There may after all be impeachment of federal officers like Mayorkas who’re breaking our legal guidelines; however you received’t be seeing any impeachment efforts out of the Uniparty.
Again to New York’s mayor Eric Adams. As I stated, he’s in a bind. He’s pissed off. What does a progressive black politician do when he’s pissed off?
He cries RACISM!

“Patriotism is the final refuge of a scoundrel,” stated Dr Johnson. In immediately’s U.S.A., an accusation of Republican racism is the final refuge of a Democrat politician being shafted by his personal social gathering.
And this explicit accusation doesn’t maintain water. Because the busing started final Spring Texas has despatched 5,200 illegals to New York. Town of El Paso has individually and independently despatched greater than twice as many: 10,713[ Mayor Adams denies calling Greg Abbott racist after alleging Texas gov targeted ‘black-run cities’ , by MaryAnn Martinez, Bernadette Hogan and Jesse O’Neill, NY Post, May 2, 2023].

Subsequent Thursday, Might eleventh, the Title 42 covid rule ends and it’s extensively predicted that there’ll be a mighty surge of illegals over the border. There are stated to be forty thousand camped on the Mexican aspect, ready.
So, Mister Mayor, in the event you suppose the white devils have been racistly making bother for you, you ain’t seen nothing but.
