NYC Mayor Eric Adams walks back his support for illegal aliens

In June last year, when Democrat Eric Adams was a mayoral candidate blazing the campaign trail, he spoke of his plan to protect immigrant communities, and the plan was called WeRISE (Raise Immigrant Safety and Empowerment). Money was no object for politicians and Adams is no exception. Having almost a dozen proposals, he would have taxpayers spend $50,000,000 on an annual immigrant venture fund for small business, and to kick Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials the hell out of all city buildings and structures.

His love for immigrants, both illegal and legal, attracted more of them to want to get on buses and head out for the streets of opportunity in the Big Apple. 

And so they did.

Now Adams is upset with all those people being dropped off in the city and other Democrats are also complaining openly about having to deal with the humanity being put on busses from Republican-controlled states and sent to where they are told they are welcome in this country. Now they are being told, "just not in my city," by Adams and Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, another Democrat whose tune has changed once reality set in.

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre responded to a question during a press conference this week about the “thousands” of illegal aliens who have been shipped to Washington, D.C., and New York City from Texas and Arizona amid Biden’s Border Crisis.

“We believe it’s shameful that — that some governors are using migrants as a political tool, as a political play, when we should be making sure that we’re doing everything that we can to help — to help folks who are coming into this process in a legal way and making sure that, you know, we do this in a — in a safe — in a safe way and a respectful way,” she said. “And I think it’s shameful that that is happening.”

So it's not a burden if they're sent to other places, just not large Democratic-run cities because that would make it shameful even though Democrats are keeping the border open for them and they're coming in by the tens of thousands each day. Under Biden's so-called leadership, U.S. Customs and Border Protection has recorded over two million encounters with illegal immigrants so far in fiscal year 2022. This is the highest number of illegal aliens coming into the country in any one year, and the year isn't over.

The illegal aliens have not been vetted and many have been found to have criminal backgrounds, and some are known terrorists.

But the Democrats see them as a strong voting base and that's all they care about.
