“Expedite work permits for migrants so they can start living the American dream.”

Mayor Eric Adams has spent much of his time in office justly complaining about the massive invasion of illegal migrants. The Biden campaign even booted him over his direct criticism of open borders and its consequences. But Adams also exemplifies the national shortsighted response to illegal migration.

One day, Adams is protesting illegal aliens being bused from Florida and Texas, the next day he buses them to Canada or upstate New York.

He warns that the city is being flooded and then tries to make the city an even bigger illegal alien magnet.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams made passionate pleas for the federal government to expedite work permits for the 70,000 asylum seekers who have arrived in New York City.

Business leaders, congressmen, and even a Venezuelan asylum seeker joined Hochul and Adams to plead with President Biden to expedite work permits for migrants so they can start living the American dream.

What officials want is for the feds to expedite work permits. Currently, asylum seekers have to wait 180 days after their paperwork has been successfully filed.

“It is creating an underground market where individuals could be exploited, unable to pay into our tax base, working long and difficult and dangerous jobs because they are living in the shadow of the American dream and not out front. It increases the risk that they can be abused,” said Adams.

The American Dream means invading someone else’s country and then getting every form of social services imaginable, but let’s pass over that.

Mayor Adams knows the city is flooded and his proposed solution is to flood it even faster and then have the government legalize the illegals as soon as they arrive.

What happens when the illegals keep coming? Or when they make up the population of the city?

There are the open borders activists who genuinely want to destroy the country and there are political hacks like Adams who have no vision and are just scrabbling to postpone the inevitable.

Adams just cares about the immediate financial issues. But kicking this can down the road just makes matters worse.

Drilling a hole in the boat isn’t a good way to bail out water, but that Adams’ plan.
