Robert Miller
The Subject: Mayor Adams’ request for $500 million in federal funds to cowl the price of migrants within the metropolis.
It appears merely outrageous that the mayor single-handedly can resolve that New York can count on 75,000 unlawful migrants to our metropolis, implying that he will likely be welcoming (“Adams’ plea for fed bailout,” Sept. 24).
Don’t we, as taxpayers, have a say on this? Even when the federal authorities helps this with $500 million, it's nonetheless an outrage that he invitations them right here. He's the mayor, not the emperor, and we, the taxpaying public, ought to have a say.
We now have Americans who might use a serving to hand earlier than any unlawful immigrant advantages from our authorities’s largesse.
However there isn't any assure the federal authorities can pay the wanted $500 million to assist these folks. If that's the case, then New York taxpayers are left with the invoice to feed, dress, home, educate and medically assist them.
Somebody please remind the mayor that he'll almost certainly be a one-term mayor if he continues to assist these insurance policies.

So the mayor of New York Metropolis is asking for $500 million to assist with the inflow of migrants who're coming into our metropolis.
As an alternative of asking for cash, how about asking President Biden to shut our open border?
1000's are coming into the nation every day, however our vp says that the border is safe. She has failed miserably at this essential job that was handed to her.
It was OK for the administration to fly migrants, at midnight of night time, everywhere in the nation — however now that some are displaying up on the doorsteps of sanctuary cities, they scream that they want cash and that it's a drawback.
Sure, it's a drawback — an issue that may be mounted. Simply safe the border. Individuals who entered this nation legally must be up in arms — individuals who did the best factor and got here right here below the legal guidelines that now we have in place.

It’s infuriating watching unlawful immigrants get off buses and politicians shaking their arms and welcoming them.
We're feeding them, giving them shelter, well being care, education for his or her youngsters, and so forth., at a excessive price to the folks of sanctuary states.
Now New York is spending cash to construct tents for them. In the meantime, now we have homeless vets and People who aren’t taken care of.
People must donate to Tunnel to Towers and different associations to assist our vets and mentally challenged residents, whereas unlawful immigrants who don’t belong listed here are handled royally. It’s disgusting.

New York’s mayor needs $500 million to cowl the surge of unlawful immigrants despatched into his metropolis by southern governors.
Adams is a real believer within the Democrat mantra — “a half-billion right here, a half-billion there. It’s solely taxpayer cash, not mine.”
I'm confused. The border is safe, is it not? New York is a sanctuary metropolis, is it not?

I strongly consider that Mayor Adams is totally silly in asking the federal authorities for $500 million to assist New York Metropolis preserve its sanctuary-city standing.
Adams must be asking Biden & Co. to cease the import of those unlawful immigrants into the nation and return these that may be returned to the border for export.
Why ought to folks in the USA choose up the tab for these unlawful immigrants? You had been fast to inform everybody you had been a sanctuary metropolis — now reside with it.

When Mayor Adams took workplace in January, I used to be prepared to provide him an opportunity to wash up town. We now have a metropolis that's in full disarray and crime-ridden after eight years of Mayor Invoice de Blasio.
However Adams’ likelihood has come and gone, as he has confirmed himself to be nothing however a failure and extension of de Blasio.
He's failing on each topic. His newest endeavor is to erect tents so immigrants could be housed in them and have the NYPD patrol them. How silly are you able to get?
