What an absolute disaster.. this is what u people want

Maybe he can declare an emergency on the crime we have in this city. He is unable to get any control of it.

It should be a state problem, because one state sent another state asylum seekers.

I think once we redirect all of the Federal money relating to Homeland Security and Border Control from places like Texas to places like NY, DC, and Chicago, everything will be fine. If y'all are sending asylum seekers up here, I don't see why you need the money 🤷

Send them all there

GQ You need help.. what are you doing. Texas is dealing with it!!!

Easy fix close the border!

NYCMayor 's self inflicted state of emergency.

Get Stuff Done in your Dreams. Paper Tiger mayor all day. Reap what you sow with this Fugazi

Figure it out! You made ur bed now lie in it? Had to be the hero. Keep sucking the middle class dry. Whatever you suck !!!!

We need more swagger

Eric Adams, those South American people are humans. They are not cockroaches. Why people hate brown people like the mayor himself? When 10,000+ (yes, 10 THOUSANDS ) Ukrainians arrived this year America DID NOT called it a CRISIS IN NYC.🔻

Sanctuary cities are placing American citizens in 'second place' in order to accommodate these ILLEGALS! Perhaps inflation is not as dire as they say it is!!! BILLIONS of dollars are being spent on illegals! I can NOT wrap my head around this!!

Who cares if you support Ukraine and ww3 lol

NYCMayor took long enough. You are useless

New York City mayor declares state of emergency over migrants sent by southern border statesNew York City’s mayor, Eric Adams, declared a state of emergency on Friday over the thousands of migrants being sent from southern border states, saying the demand to provide housing and other assistance is “not sustainable.” Poetic justice…. “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.” Look what the Democratic Party has become; the party of straight wealthy hypocritical and entitled xenophobic white supremacists. Democrats are absolutely vile evil people. Forget Javelins and drones made by RTX. Those migrant buses are the real WMD's.
