, has for years faced criticism from liberals accusing the former Republican and former police captain of parroting right-wing talking points and espousing conservative policies..” And he lived up to the moniker Thursday with an anti-immigrant diatribe that sounded as if it had been ripped from the former president’s social media feed.
Adams made his remarks at a town hall on New York City’s Upper West Side. He criticized Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, for his ongoing stunt of , but Adams had particularly harsh words for the migrants themselves, saying they are are going to “destroy” the city.. “One time, we were just getting Venezuela. Now we’re getting Ecuador. Now we’re getting Russian-speaking, coming through Mexico. Now we’re getting Western Africa. Now we’re getting people from all over the globe who have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and come into New York City.
Adams said that “every community in this city is going to be impacted” by the arrivals, and he asked everyone in the room: “How many of you organized to stop what they’re doing to us?”There are sensitive and productive ways to say, “The government should do more to aid me here.” Adams and others, for example, have criticized the federal government for not providing enough resources to help house the migrants, and for not allowing New York to fast-track permits allowing the migrants to work.
