Yes, it destroys New York City. Imagine what it does to the small towns in Texas.

[keithshaughnessy]

Wait . When their 2000 miles away you're a sanctuary city. When they're at your doorstep they're a crisis.

[canubeleiveit]

These politicians are so full of it. They are gonna help migrants before citizens. Shameful.

[rlam]

Funny he says we have to give illegals everything they need, when has he said that about American citizens?

[jeffperry]

Well my heart just bleeds for you mr. Adams now you know what it's like to feel like a Texan

[terriebzumbalover]

You voted for this ! Not Texas … Joe Biden

[tinashifflett]

It's outrageous he thinks it's ok for border states with hundreds of thousands of people invading their property. He claimed to be a sanctuary city but cries when he is facing the same invasion of unwanted people

[patharvard]

New Yorkers have failed to understand or care about the problems associated with the decades of uncontrolled immigration experienced by Texans. Many New Yorkers
mocked Texans for their discontent. It’s only fair that, finally, the burden of our chaotic immigration policies should be distributed more fairly—away from the southern border states.

[youtubesucks]

Remember when Eric Adams said we are a Sanctuary City and illegals are welcome.

He clearly didn't mean it.

[dkfarris]

No you all are all not in this together. It falls directly on you. You got what you asked for.

[joeyharper]

Interesting how conservatives were labeled "Racist xenophobes" for stating what Adams JUST SAID. But since he is black/Democrat, He won't get criticized by the left/media.

[dorahudson]

Mad man? So, he expects Texas to have to deal with ALL of this?

[thehammer]

This Mayor has the gall and nerve to complain now?? ..he created the problem, now the residents are suffering, what a disgrace.

[calvincosby]

Not only are you losing your city, we are losing our country. We MUST DO MORE THAN TALK!🇺🇸❤

[gmb]

“Madman” in Texas?!
He’s a genius … and he delivered to NY what they asked for! 🤣🤣

[chuckpoyner]

No no no you wanted them. Mr. Mayor you told them you wanted them. That's what you get for your Democrat policies.

[davidalexander]

Funny he called Abbott a madman but didn't say anything about the real madman who opened the border.

[MaskedViolinist]

It’s laughable really…to be shocked and terrified of a scenario you invited, welcomed, and encouraged. It’s like opening the floodgates and being surprised by the amount of water behind them.

[BeachGuyDave]

What about texas ? Is it ok for them to have to deal with failed policies of biden? Call biden out !

[dkfarris]

I have 0 empathy for this mayor. Nor this city you voted for this.
