Oh, so NOW they want to close the southern border
[Hot Air] Ingrid Lewis-Martin is the chief advisor to New York City Mayor Eric Adams. On Sunday, she called for Joe Biden to close the southern border. My, how times have changed.
New York has a Right to Shelter law and it is a proud sanctuary city. Well, NYC used to be a proud sanctuary city before all the illegal aliens showed up. The first to cry foul when the current flood of illegal aliens began was Mayor Adams. He began by name-calling Governor Abbott and calling for more federal money to handle them. If the city is a sanctuary city, shouldn’t it have the resources and supplies it needs to handle people coming to New York City? But, no, that wasn’t the case. What shelter that was available quickly filled up and illegal aliens were put up in nice hotels in Manhattan. Adams has been trying to set up tent camps for the illegals but now they are accustomed to the hotel life and won’t quietly go to the tents. Did a mayor of a sanctuary city not think of that?
Ms. Lewis-Martin articulated a new message for illegal aliens — go some place else. She noted that 116,000 illegal migrants came to the city in 18 months. More than 60,000 are still in the city’s care. The Adams administration is trying to change the city’s right to shelter law. The change would be that the shelter law would not include new migrants. This is a stunning reversal to what both Mayor Adams and Governor Hochul who, at first, welcomed the illegal aliens in order to jab a thumb in Governor Abbott’s eye. Lewis-Martin made the comments on Sunday as she discussed the Biden border crisis.
