Two wrongs don’t make a right. New York City Mayor Eric Adams criticizes Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for busing thousands of illegal migrants to NYC. Now, Adams turns around to send some of the same illegal immigrants to motels in Rockland and Orange County rented by New York City.
Was Rockland County Executive Ed Day and Orange County Executive Stefan Neuhaus provided advance notification? Will Adams soon do the same for Nassau and Suffolk Counties?
The real solution involves securing our southern border with Mexico. Under President Joe Biden’s watch, almost five million illegal immigrants have crossed. Now more are attempting the same at our Canadian border. Department of Homeland Security Chief Alejandra Mayorkas has the nerve to claim the border is secure. Just as bad, is the claim by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre that President Bidens border security policies have brought illegal immigration down by more than 90%.
With the ending of Title 42, which afforded us the opportunity to return many illegal immigrants back to their home countries, the situation will only grow worse. Regardless of how you feel about former President Donald Trump, under his watch the flow of illegals was less and border security better.
We have spent over $100 billion to assist Ukraine in securing their border against the Russian invasion. It is time we spend whatever it takes to secure our border with both Mexico and Canada.
