Eric Adams is asked about crime in the subway and seems to suggest migrants are to blame:
“If you have someone 4-5 months and said you cannot work, you cannot feed your family...what happens? Lack of opportunities, you know, an idle mind is the devil's workshop, as they say.”

The city should take control of the migrants by registering them and allowing them to work. They will get out of the system faster. Social services should register them for a green card and process them. Didn’t we do that at Ellis island once?

I hope you hear yourself. Whenever there is an attempt to extend the same type of resources to Black people, everyone has a problem. But it’s alright to give illegal immigrants resources & opportunities, that America will not extend to Blacks who are asking for reparations.

I think I said let them work to support themselves.

Work permits are extended 2 those who come in the country legally, not illegally. A change would require a change 2 the law 2 accommodate them. Meanwhile my ancestors worked & were NEVER PAID. True justice would make sure that those descendants were given their wages w/ interest.

You should talk to the cops of Midtown South that has the Row and Roosevelt Hotels. They'll tell how crime has gone up in the precinct since they were opened for migrants - pickpockets, robberies, assaults. Lots of domestic violence cases in the hotels.
