In a recent press conference, New York City Mayor Eric Adams, a Democrat, announced his commitment to addressing the issue of criminal illegal immigrants in the city, following a meeting with the incoming border czar, Tom Homan.
Adams also expressed concern over the fate of approximately 500,000 children who have disappeared in the United States due to the border crisis.
Mayor Adams shared insights from his meeting with Homan and a representative from the Biden administration. "We have 500,000 children who have sponsors in this country that we can't find. We can't find them. We don't know if they're doing child labor. We don't know if they're doing sex crimes. We don't know if they've been exploited. 500,000 children," Adams said, according to The Post Millennial.
Adams criticized what he termed as the "level of hypocrisy" from those who claim to want to protect everyone, yet overlook the innocent victims of crimes and children. He emphasized his commitment to safeguarding children and innocent individuals who fall prey to crime, asserting that safety is paramount to him.
The mayor also took a firm stance against the media, accusing them of harboring "preconceived notions and distorted views" about his administration. He pledged to uphold the rights of hard-working immigrants contributing positively to the city. However, he made it clear that New York City would not serve as a refuge for individuals repeatedly committing violent crimes against innocent migrants, immigrants, and long-standing New Yorkers.
Adams revealed that he had communicated this stance to Homan during their discussion, questioning how they could target individuals repeatedly committing crimes in the city. He clarified that his concern primarily lies with deporting criminal illegal immigrants, while law-abiding individuals can continue to access city services. He reiterated that the city would not harbor those committing violent acts, regardless of their citizenship status.
Meanwhile, Homan, the incoming border czar and former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), announced that deportations would commence in Chicago. He faces opposition from Mayor Brandon Johnson, a Democrat, who has shown hostility towards Homan and President-elect Donald Trump. Homan has identified "public safety threats, national security threats, and fugitives" as his top priorities for deportations.
Mayor Adams' commitment to addressing criminal illegal immigration and the issue of missing children due to the border crisis reflects a conservative perspective that emphasizes law and order, individual safety, and the importance of legal immigration. His stance serves as a reminder that the city's resources should be directed towards those who contribute positively to society, rather than those who pose a threat to public safety.
