New York City pathetically claimed it “has done more than any other city in the last 18 months to meet this national humanitarian crisis” referring the influx of illegal immigrants into the United States.
The laughable comment was made in a letter to state Supreme Court justice Erika Edwards from NYC’s senior counsel Daniel Perez, on behalf of Democratic mayor Eric Adams. The letter’s intention is to ask the court to end the city’s right-to-shelter order which was passed in 1981 and reads: “We seek only the immediate relief that present circumstances demand. New York City has done more than any other city in the last 18 months to meet this national humanitarian crisis.”
“The Judgment’s onerous terms are demonstrably ill-suited to present circumstances and restrain the City at a time when flexibility to deal with the emergency is paramount” the letter continues.
Now that liberal cities have began to experience the traumatic repercussions of the migrant crisis at our borders, their leaders are finally taking action. On Wednesday Mayor Adams took a four-day trip to Mexico, Colombia, and Ecuador in order to dissuade potential migrants from traveling to New York City after crossing the southern border, according to Politico. “We want to give people a true picture of what is here,” Adams said at a Tuesday press briefing. “We are at capacity.”
National Review reports that while visiting the three nations in Central and South America, the mayor will appear on radio stations, television channels, and in local newspapers as part of a campaign effort to combat misinformation about the city’s employment and luxury opportunities which are originating from migrant smugglers and social-media platforms.
“We need to counteract those forms of communications that are basically saying, ‘You come to the City of New York, you’re going to automatically have a job, you’re going to be in a five star hotel,’” Adams added.
Still, he called an open southern border “the official position of the city.”
