Chip Roy Slams Eric Adams After He Suddenly Realizes Illegal Immigration Is a Problem Once It Affected Him

New York City Mayor Blames Biden for Immigration Crisis

New York City Mayor Eric Adams is facing an illegal immigration emergency in his city and is now pointing fingers at the Biden administration for the constant influx of foreign nationals to the Big Apple. However, as Congressman Chip Roy (R-TX) pointed out, Adams and other Big Government liberals are to blame for incentivizing this crisis in the first place.

Adams’ Criticism of Biden

Recently, Adams said that the president’s policies have strained his city, and thousands of men, women, and children have arrived via buses and other means. In turn, at least one Republican lawmaker took that as a sign that Adams could be a willing partner to secure the border.

Chance for Bipartisanship?

“The dam finally broke last week when Mayor Adams rightly blamed the border and migrant crisis on President Biden,” Congressman Mike Lawler, (R-NY) said to POLITICO.

Lawler now sees a chance for bipartisanship, which tends to mean that The Swamp gets what it wants while U.S. citizens get screwed over.

Adams’ Solutions to the Problem

Yet Adams’ solutions to the problem will only exacerbate it. He doesn’t want to deport these individuals nor close the border. His office believes that more federal aid is needed to help bear the brunt of the cost of providing food, shelter, clothing, education, and other benefits to illegal aliens from around the globe.

Lawler’s Plan

Lawler has also voiced support for more federal funding to localities such as New York City and elsewhere while advocating amnesty for certain illegal immigrants. The second part of his multi-pronged plan released in March said, “we have to create a pathway to legalization — for some that will mean citizenship, for others it won’t.” Amnesty will only encourage more individuals to come over the border, in hopes of securing their spot in America to get a headstart on that “pathway to citizenship.”

Adams’ Sanctuary City Status

“Eric Adams is right to blame the Biden Administration for the border crisis, but this is the same guy who campaigned on his city’s sanctuary status and extended childcare, colleague classes and other taxpayer-funded programs to illegal migrants,” Roy told POLITICO.

Indeed, Adams told the entire world they could find refuge in his city in 2019:

Make no mistake, New York City will ALWAYS stand up to @realDonaldTrump and call out his cynical plots to divide our country. To anyone in the world fleeing hatred and oppression, the ultimate city of immigrants wants you to remember: you’re ALWAYS welcome here. pic.twitter.com/H9xOYz5mJe

As mayor, he has cut funding for other areas of public life to provide for the illegal aliens he welcomed.

The Burden Continues

“Texas has been bearing the brunt of this crisis for over two years — now New York is getting a taste of their own medicine,” Roy added. The Lone Star State congressman is right. And that burden will continue so long as Democratic policies that reward illegal immigration while allowing the border to be a sieve will continue.
