The Challenge: Town’s plan to arrange emergency shelters for migrants in Orchard Seashore in The Bronx.
I’m actually shocked that the tents for the migrants shall be arrange in The Bronx (“In‘tents’ setup for migrants,” Sept. 23).
Mr. Mayor, there's a massive park on the Higher West Facet that might accommodate these tents. I’m positive all of the liberals in that neighborhood would love to assist out.
Oh, however that’s proper — these are the individuals who donate to your marketing campaign, so that you don’t wish to inconvenience them.
Why is it all the time OK to position jails, tents or regardless of the wealthy don’t need in The Bronx? Simply one other limousine liberal transfer. The Bronx doesn’t rely.

I've supported Mayor Adams along with his initiatives to get weapons off the road and to cut back crime in New York Metropolis.
However his flowery assertion that “Ellis Island opened its doorways to these craving to be free” is a delusion.
My grandfather immigrated from Poland round 1910. He needed to have proof that he could be domiciled and brought care of by family members who lived in Williamsburg on the time.
He had a troublesome journey and will solely afford a steerage-class ticket to america. At Ellis Island, he felt so sick that he virtually didn't cross the medical examination and will have been despatched again to Europe.
I assist immigration, however why are we accepting migrants who're crossing our borders illegally? Are you able to reply that, Mayor Adams?

That is New York Dem hypocrisy at its best — organising tent cities for individuals who shouldn’t be right here within the first place.
I'm sure that these tent cities shall be stuffed to capability and given all of the assist and care these individuals will want. All on the backs of already financially strapped New Yorkers. What a shame.

Word to Mayor Adams: Two locations you'll be able to put incoming unlawful migrants are Fort Schuyler in The Bronx and Fort Dix in New Jersey.
Each locations have all of the amenities migrants might want to get by. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy could associate with serving to you with in utilizing Fort Dix.
Orchard Seashore car parking zone not a good suggestion as a result of all of the individuals on Metropolis Island shall be towards it, and Adams will trigger massive bother with them.

The Challenge: Rep. Rashida Tlaib’s declare that progressives can’t assist Israel’s authorities.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib insults these progressives who assist Israel by accusing them of supporting an “apartheid state (“High Dems’ Silence on Tlaib’s Slander,” Sept. 23).
Nowhere in Israel are there indicators of apartheid. Full citizenship with its rights and obligations are shared by all.
One out of 5 Israeli residents are Arabs. Eating places, hospitals, universities, public transit, the army, the Knesset, the Supreme Court docket, the vote, and so forth., are all shared by each Arab and Jewish residents.
When Palestinians need a state of their very own, Israel has been prepared to assist construct one.
Sadly, their leaders have by no means negotiated in good religion, preferring to remain in energy by stoking the flames of terror and “Jew hatred” — which Rep. Tlaib encourages together with her lies.

With all the issues america has — inflation, rampant crime, immigration — Tlaib can solely zero in on her obsessive hate for Israel.
Message to Reps. Jerry Nadler, Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and different members of Congress: Tweeting is just not sufficient. It’s a cop-out. Let your voices be heard if you happen to suppose she’s fallacious.
