New York City Podcast with Mayor Eric Adams on Migrant Crisis, Public Safety, and Political Challenges

Published | Video Starts at 41:52

We're gonna write a letter to Washington and say the country needs to follow your model. We fed, housed clothes, educated 40,000 children, put people on the pathway for citizenship. What we did with 230,000 people, 190,000 have left our care and went on to the next journey. What we did, no one in the country was doing. But when you pick up the papers, you walk away and saying, oh, this guy hate immigrants. This guy's anti immigrant. (41:52–41:59)
