The Concern: Mayor Adams declaration of a state of emergency over migrants coming to town.
Mayor Adams is dropping his focus (“Busloads arriving every day,” Oct. 7).
If any state of emergency for New York Metropolis is required, it's the state of emergency due to crime, not migrants. Ship the migrants again.
Mayor, your job is to maintain the residents of New York Metropolis not the migrants. Do the job you have been elected to do.

The problems confronting New Yorkers have gotten extra extreme every day.
Violent crimes on the subway give riders pause as as to if to danger security versus the expense of driving into Manhattan. Many metropolis residents who've misplaced their residences discover themselves in metropolis shelters.
Within the meantime, reasonably than addressing the wants of tax-paying residents, the mayor is operating round worrying about home, college, feed and supply medical companies to people and households who entered the nation illegally.
As a matter of social coverage, shouldn’t residents’ wants and issues be precedence No. 1? They don't seem like.

Our mayor declares a state of emergency as a result of asylum seekers coming into town.
He, together with our governor, helps New York being a sanctuary metropolis, giving free schooling, meals, clothes and housing to migrants.
This, all whereas taxpayers foot the invoice. This cash might be used to fight crime, enhance schooling or handle the homeless downside.
Politicians ought to maintain their very own home, you may say, by caring for New Yorkers.

Adams has a homelessness downside, exacerbated by the arrival of hundreds of unlawful immigrants.
These people have been pawns from the beginning, being inspired by the Biden administration to enter the nation.
At first, border cities have been invaded and overwhelmed, however nobody exterior these states appear to care concerning the havoc this brought about. Mainly, the native officers have been informed to close up and put up.
As a substitute of blaming Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis for this latest inflow, Mayor Adams ought to place full accountability on the particular person within the White Home and demand that the border be secured.

The Concern: Chuck Arnold’s column arguing that Madonna’s singles deserve extra love than The Beatles.
Kudos to Publish columnist Chuck Arnold on his glorious appreciation of our biggest residing pop star, Madonna (“Madge of Honor,” Oct. 7).
He makes a powerful case that her catalog of singles bests The Beatles (whom I like dearly), and nobody may argue that she doesn’t belong alongside them within the pantheon of musical greats.
Arnold properly factors out her achievements have been all on her personal, versus being one in a quartet just like the Beatles.
I’d add she did it as a lady in an trade and society that is still viciously sexist (therefore the present obsessions together with her look and age).
Congrats to the queen of pop on 40 years of hi-making. Right here’s to 40 extra.

The Beatles did in six years what took Madonna a long time to perform. John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote all of their songs. Madonna didn’t come shut.
And with out “I Wanna Maintain Your Hand,” there can be no “Everyone.” I’d be joyful to debate Mr. Arnold, observe by observe, album by album and profession to profession. It’s not even shut.
