Eric Adams for President! This country needs a President that can destroy America with Swagger!

Was this a pit stop en route to Cancun or something?

Eric Adams never found a problem that can’t be solved with a little first class travel and a photo op.
Literally the entire problem is that migrants are being shipped from where he is to the city he’s mayor of. Could have gone to one of the city facilities that these people are living in but hey. Have a good long weekend, champ!

Rottimer t1_j49epnd wrote
So when is he switching parties before running for national office? Or does he think he can win a statewide or nationwide Dem primary with these talking points?

Very surprising especially with his track record of partying. Seems right up his alley to swing by one of these city ‘facilities’

Believe it or not, NYC Mayor, is neither a statewide or nationwide office. I know us NY'ers tend to talk like it is.

Cool, so spend more city budget to travel and have your armed goons follow you to Texas so you can get national press. Wonderful use of city funds.

Just think how mad you'd be if that were actually true...I am amused that the outrage number of the week is $300/night. A month or so again The Post was claiming the same hotel was charging $700/nt but I guess that was so outlandish no one believed it

Hot take: I like what Eric Adam's is doing. He's putting Frontline issues in the news, and he's less of a politician than those in the past, like DeBlasio, who paid lip service but did zero. DeBlasio would have buried the busing issue to save democrats face nationally. The fact that Adam's plans to travel to the border, yet it took Biden 2 years, and Kamala still has yet to address the issue, is embarrassing.

Love watching all the Democrat-run cities having to put their money (or lack thereof) where their mouth is. No matter what the issue is, they want to have their cake and eat it too. I vote conservative independent cause the GOP are another type of moron, but at least they (try to) tell you and be honest about how they're screwing you over.

Most blue cities and blue states pay most of the taxes that fund and feed the red welfare states. We're just asking that the federal budget and where they send aid reflect that.
>GOP are another type of moron, but at least they (try to) tell you and be honest
Funniest thing I've read all day. Every time a Republican has taken office the national debt has risen out of control. Every time Democrats take back the legislature and presidency we fix the problems that Republicans made with our economy. Anyone who believes Republicans are on the right side of any economic issue are joke, or they are rich or they're onto the belief that one day they could be rich.

Ya keep telling yourself that to sleep better at night. The US economy is a shit show rn and the homeland is always in turmoil. There is a never ending flood of people who want to come here. Some were hesitant if the knew the chances of successes were low. But when a President emboldens these people by telling them it’s all good you get droves of them at your door.
I’m an immigrant myself. The difference between me and your ancestors is I put blood sweat and tears to do it the right way, didn’t just take some shortcut. Its insult to injury when a President coddles illegal immigrants who broke the law while us law abiding tax paying model immigrants get shown the finger.
The system needs reform from every avenue. But an sudo open border policy for those willing and who can show up at the southern border isn’t it

Higher quality of life. Better education. Better health outcomes. More job opportunities. Regardless of what Fox tells you, we are in one of the safest cities and states. You will literally have a longer life in blue states.
Look at the list of states that rank top and bottom of quality of life issues. It's blood red at the bottom of the list for a reason.

Just because the US economy is better than some small African nation or a war torn Middle Eastern country doesn’t mean things aren’t bad here.
Inflation is out the roof, thousands are being laid off, there’s a housing crisis, historic number of people are using food banks etc.
No country including the US can take on an endless amount of surges in population. Especially not when that surge is a group of low skill un educated bunch of illegal immigrants. Even if they could contribute greatly to our society the current state of laws makes it impossible for them to do so.
You think your family is the only ones who had no way to come to the US? There are millions of people in the same boat. Even our legal pathways to immigration are so backlogged that it’s basically impossible. Yet all these people actively choose not to be criminals and smuggle themselves into the country.
Like I said, I believe the entire system needs reform. The hardships that force people to make difficult choices is not lost on me. I just don’t think this President and his administration are solving it the right way. They only care about virtue signalling and helping businesses find cheap labour. They depend on plebs like you to defend them because you’re the product of illegal immigration yourself.

Qol is great in nyc if you’re a top earner, and cities are your thing. Anyone at the bottom is delusional to to live there
Length of life isn’t just because they pay taxes, plenty has to do with lifestyle as well and what you chose to eat.
mowotlarx t1_j4cfouu wrote
People who live "at the bottom" in high tax states have a much better shot of getting the public services they need to keep them housed and fed.
And why do you think undereducated people in impoverished red states eat "bad food"? Where do you think most of the food deserts are in this country? Where in this country is access to healthy food, especially for low income people who need food benefits, unavailable? Low tax states that don't take care of their people.

Professional_Mud_316 t1_j4duver wrote
A perception persists of migrants, and sometimes even refugees, as basically willfully and contently becoming permanent financial/resource burdens on their host nation.
There is so much unwarranted contempt for these people, yet so many are rightfully despondent, perhaps enough so to work very hard in cashless exchange for basic food and shelter.
And they do want to pull their own weight through employment, even if only to prove their detractors wrong.
Often conveniently ignored is the fact many are fleeing global-warming-related extreme weather events and chronic crop failures in the southern hemisphere widely believed to be related to the northern hemisphere’s chronic fossil-fuel burning, beginning with the Industrial Revolution.
Migrant laborers should be treated humanely, including timely access to proper work-related bodily protections, but too often are not.
If they feel they must, critics of such refugees/migrants should get angry at the politicians who supposedly allow in ‘too many’ migrants; but please don't criticize the desperate people for doing what we'd likely all do if in their dreadful position.
But then all that no longer matters when the migrants die in their attempt at arriving. Last winter a young family of four from India froze to death trying to access the U.S. via sub-zero southern Manitoba. And I wonder how many have died or will while trying to access Canada.

That’s because red states take a disproportionate amount of federal tax dollars from blue states. Asking for some of those tax dollars back to pay for migrant housing isn’t that outlandish
