Why NYC’s Mayor Can No Longer Complain About the Illegal Immigration Crisis

I had high hopes for Eric Adams. He won New York City’s mayoral race without selling his soul to the progressive Left. It’s one of the reasons why progressives opposed his candidacy, or, at least, were wary about a former cop succeeding Bill de Blasio, who didn’t need their votes to win. They want to challenge Adams in 2025 but can’t find anyone. Adams promised more law and order, reactivating the anti-crime plainclothes unit, which I’m sure gave liberals night sweats. 

Last September, with illegal aliens storming into the Big Apple, Adams was caught saying the quiet part out loud about the current immigration crisis. If this continues, it will destroy the city. Yet, as with anything regarding Adams’ mayoralty, it falls short. He disappoints as it goes with the lion’s share of politicians. You’d think after those remarks, he’d issue a crackdown, especially after a swarm of illegals just beat up two cops and were released without bail. To no one’s shock, they’ve fled the city.
