BBC: New York City declares emergency over migrant 'crisis'

[DrLeftover]

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has declared a state of emergency to address a "crisis situation" over an influx of migrants.
More than 17,000 have arrived in the city from the southern border since April.
Republican states like Texas, Arizona and Florida have been sending migrants to Democratic areas in recent months.

...
"New Yorkers are angry," said Mayor Adams. "I am angry too. We have not asked for this. There was never any agreement to take on the job of supporting thousands of asylum seekers."

So, it's only a problem when it's his problem? Like the border states DID "ask for this"?

Well, don't that just 'take the cake'?
What an ironic twist.

LMAO they aren't so tolerant when it's on their shoulders huh. I'm just surprised how the fuck they're openly displaying the contradiction, at least be discreet about it. Sheesh.

They can get over it. America was built by immigrants.

Thomas Jefferson and George Washington viewed people wanting to immigrate to America as a source of pride and patriotism.
