New York City Mayor Eric Adams said President Joe Biden dismissed his calls for help with the migrant crisis by telling him to “be a good Democrat.” Adams made the revelation during an interview with Tucker Carlson, where he detailed the overwhelming challenges facing the city.
Adams described how thousands of migrants continue to arrive in New York, many without the ability to legally work, leaving city services stretched to the limit. He explained that the city has been forced to house, feed and educate them without sufficient federal support.
Having been indicted by the Biden DOJ for political crimes, New York Mayor Eric Adams is sounding a lot like a Trump voter these days.

In addition to his struggles with the migrant crisis, Adams is also dealing with legal challenges after being indicted on charges of bribery and fraud. Despite these issues, he remains vocal about his belief that the Democratic Party has moved away from the concerns of everyday citizens.
The mayor reiterated his position that migrants who commit crimes should be handed over to federal authorities for deportation. He expressed his willingness to collaborate with Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s incoming border czar, to address the situation.

Carlson challenged Adams on whether the city’s sanctuary policies have contributed to the problem. Adams denied that New York City was actively encouraging illegal immigration, pointing instead to federal failures in managing the border crisis.
Looking ahead, Adams’ spokesperson defended his appearance on Carlson’s show, stating that the mayor is committed to finding real solutions to the crisis by speaking with leaders from both sides of the political spectrum.
