At an Upper West Side town hall gathering on Wednesday, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) lost it over Joe Biden’s open borders immigration problem and exclaimed, “Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I faced a challenge for which I could not see a solution. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City,” and “The city we knew, we’re about to lose.”
According to Adams, the city has been hosting 110,000 “asylum seekers” since April 2022, and is currently taking in 10,000 migrants per month over the open southern border.
