New York City Mayor Adams Losing Grip
The Mayor of New York is rapidly losing his grip on his city, and despite running on the promise of being a proud “sanctuary city,” he is now blaming what he calls the callousness of border states.
You have to love the irony. New York Mayor Eric Adams, who we just told you last week campaigned on the promise that New York City would remain a sanctuary city for undocumented migrants but now says his city has been overwhelmed, is blaming border states like Arizona and Texas for the illegal migrant problem – and even the homeless problem – in New York.
While speaking to reporters, Mayor Adams made the following statement:
Our system was inundated with those who were seeking shelter because of the callousness of the states that pushed them out . . . .
And we need everyone on board with this. Because as I stated last week, our schools are going to be impacted, our healthcare system is going to be impacted, our infrastructure is going to be impacted. But we’re willing to do our job and we’re going to do our job, and we’re going to need all New Yorkers to be with us.
It’s absolutely ridiculous for Mayor Adams to cast blame at Texas or Arizona or any other state. We shared a picture of migrants disembarking an airplane in Westchester County just outside of New York City. It’s not Texas flying them there, it’s the Federal Government. If the Mayor is upset, he should blame the President, not Texas Governor Abbott. And he clearly knows that, given that he’s demanded federal aid money to deal with the problem. What he doesn’t seem to grasp is the crisis at our border isn’t just a U.S./Mexico problem.
As my dad ACLJ Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow pointed out, they’re crossing from Mexico, but they're coming from all over the world, and that means the solution lies far beyond border states:
We’re looking at this saying it’s a U.S./Mexico problem in the sense that it’s the border, yes, but they’re coming from all over the Northern Triangle, Latin America, the Middle East, so if you want to start looking at people characteristics, it’s all over, including 56 people who were on the terror watchlist . . . . He [Adams] made the statement all hands on deck. And doesn’t all hands on deck have to start at the source of the area, and that is once they’re in the United States, it’s very late in the game to fix it?
But as my dad also stated, you have to be not looking to not see the epic humanitarian crisis happening at our southern border. It’s time for Mayor Adams, Vice President Harris, President Biden, and the rest of the radical, crisis-denying Left to open their eyes and look.

Michael Waltz, the first Green Beret to serve in Congress, who joined us for more discussion on China’s current activity in the U.S. including buying up land around our military bases, and warned that Americans need to wake up while we still can.
