Mayor Eric Adams of New York City has two approaches to a horde of illegal alien migrants showing up in his city.
1. Denounce Texas, Florida, Colorado, and other states for busing them to New York City
2. Try to bus them to Canada and then upstate
What’s amazing is how Adams seamlessly mixes his denunciations of other states busing illegal aliens to the city with his denunciations of other counties for refusing to take the illegal aliens he’s busing to them.
Now Adams has further escalated his war with the rest of the state by suing most of its counties.
New York City filed a lawsuit Wednesday against over 30 upstate localities that issued emergency orders aimed at barring the Big Apple from housing migrants in hotels.
The city’s suit names Rockland and Orange counties, in addition to 31 other counties and one town, that recently issued migrant-related emergency orders after New York Mayor Eric Adams announced his administration will begin busing migrants to private hotels in their areas.
Adams’ corporation counsel Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix described the emergency orders as “misguided and unlawful” filings “premised on false claims” that asylum seekers’ presence constituted a serious threat to public safety, at a City Hall-based press conference Wednesday afternoon.
That’s most of the state.
Whether or not Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix, the first Caribbean woman to serve as corporation counsel, can manage to prevail, the underlying issue here is that the migrants want to be in New York City, not in Orange County which, unlike the California one, doesn’t have oranges and only so much to do if you’re not a tourist or a local. Adams is trying to dump migrants in Newburgh, technically a city, with less than 30,000 residents.
The migrants don’t want to go to Newburgh and the city doesn’t want them. Adams can sue Newburgh and maybe even get Dem judges to side with him against mostly Republican areas, but how are you gonna keep the migrants down on the farm, once they’ve seen Manhattan?
The counties “have declared states of emergency premised on specious claims that the prospect of a few hundred asylum seekers sheltered at the City’s expense would somehow constitute an emergency imperiling public safety,” the lawsuit states.
“Somehow.”
Adams declared an emergency. Why shouldn’t the rest of New York?
It looks like a lot of different communities do not want illegal aliens in their communities. I have to laugh that while many northern states politicians were in favor of illegal immigrants as long as they stayed mostly in the southern or southwestern states that was OK with them. Now that they are busing them to northern states, they seems to be a little upset about the situation.
Something about this sounds familiar with an event that started in 1861.
Exert from The History Channel. Article by Christopher Klein below:
“Although often associated with the South, slavery was part of Colonial life in the North as well. Northern merchants profited from the transatlantic triangle trade of molasses, rum and slaves, and at one point in Colonial America more than 40,000 slaves toiled in bondage in the port cities and on the small farms of the North. In 1740, one-fifth of New York City’s population was enslaved.
By 1804, all of the Northern states had passed legislation to abolish slavery, although some of these measures were gradual.”
My point being the North was ok with slavery while they made money from it but after they sold them all South, It stopped paying in the North as their growing season wasn’t long enough and they suddenly got morals about it as it would no longer bankrupt Northerners to set them free as it would have and did the South. I am not saying slavery wasn’t wrong, it most certainly was!
I am talking about it sounding like the immigrant situation now. Your comment made me think things sure haven’t changed much in some ways since then.
Looks like the only person he hasn’t denounced over the immigration problem is the single person most responsible for it – Joseph Robinette Biden. How odd.
to be fair he has, it’s why the Biden campaign dumped him
If I were mayor of one of those counties, I would charter buses and load the immigrants up and send them back to NYC (where they want to be) without ever letting them leave the bus terminal.
Not living up to their own standards, are they?
