On Wednesday, Democrat New York City Mayor Eric Adams warned that his city is on the brink of being destroyed because of the massive number of illegal immigrants that are entering his city.
Adams’ comments come as the border crisis that began under President Biden continues to worsen with illegal immigration in fiscal year 2023 on track to set a new record high.
Adams made his comments during a town hall meeting, saying that he has never in his life encountered a problem that he was not able to fix.
“I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this,” he said. “This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month. One time we were just getting Venezuela. Now we getting Ecuador. Now we getting Russian-speaking coming through Mexico. Now we’re getting western Africa. Now we getting people from all over the globe have made their minds up that they’re going to come through the southern part of the border and coming into New York City. And everyone is saying it’s New York City’s problem.”
Adams said that “every community” in the city would be damaged by the illegal immigrants entering the city and draining the city’s resources.
“How many of you organized to stop what they’re doing to us?” Adams asked. “How many of you were part of the movement to say, we’ve seen what this mayor is trying to do and they destroyed New York City?”
“It’s gonna come to your neighborhoods. All of us are going to be impacted by this,” he continued. “I said it last year when we had 15,000. I’m telling you now with 110,000. The city we knew, we’re about to lose. And we’re all in this together. All of us. Staten Island is saying, ‘send them out to Manhattan,’ Manhattan is saying, ‘send them out to Queens,’ Queens is saying, ‘send them out to Brooklyn.’”
