New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) recently criticized President Joe Biden for the record flow of illegal immigrants in the Big Apple and urged New Yorkers to make their voices heard against Biden’s border crisis to stop the budget cuts in the city caused by illegal immigration.

During a press conference on Dec. 19, 2023, Adams said, “As Americans, we should go to our center of government and raise our voices when we believe the government is not responsible accordingly.”
“I’m saying to New Yorkers, ‘You’re angry and I’m angry, and the source of our discontent lies in D.C.’ And we need to mobilize and rally and go to D.C. and say to the national government, ‘This is not fair what’s happening to New York City,’” he added.
Since being forced to cut up to $7 billion from government services for New Yorkers, Adams has seen his poll numbers steadily decrease. Such a measure was forcibly done to address the thousands of unlawful immigrants that have made their way to the Big Apple under Biden.
“I want to tell New Yorkers that the [K-12] class that you’re saying should not be cut, this is not our desire [to cut],” Adams said during his press conference. “Our desire is that we put money in those classes, we put money in senior care services, we put money in cleaning in our streets.”
Considering how left-leaning New York is, Adams said that many residents within the state don’t know that their problems are a result of the Biden administration’s devastating policies.
“I need to connect New Yorkers to the source of the [migration] problem because many New Yorkers when I meet them on the subways or on the street, they say to me ‘Well, I never knew you couldn’t stop people from coming that are migrants or asylum seekers,’” the Democratic mayor said.
“I never knew that you don’t have the authority to do deportation, [that] you don’t have the authority to say that you’re not going to house people,” he added.
In September 2023, Adams lambasted Biden for the illegal immigration crisis in the Big Apple, saying that the president “will destroy New York City.”
