There is nothing logical about anything he said. It's nonsense as usual.

[Tboyhoot]

I'm a democrat, and totally agree that everything he is saying is NOT true. Since this woke platform has taken hold, it is my honor to vote republican!

[tasteofpunj.]

My guy moved his mouth for 4 minutes and said jack.

[jeanneparadise]

I was a Democrat until the 2016 debates where Trump was outstandingly decisive, clear and logical. Jeffrey is saying nothing.

[pureblood]

Watching Democrats is like watching the snake eat it own tail

[PupsMolly]

How can illegal immigrants expect to be hired not speaking English?!?

[davidmhale]

So he’s admitting this crisis isn’t just a republican conspiracy theory

[rushhourredrock]

We allow immigrants to come into America and you want them to work. Are there enough jobs to handle the heavy flow of migrants and the American population? I was in New York recently and I saw too many homeless population. The cost of food was high there. You over came it by raising the cost? That’s not over coming that’s putting tax payers at a high tax rate.

[tugatgalut]

The primitive Democrat speaks with his hands

[debbie]

I’m glad mayor adams admitted that even, comparatively- the infinitesimal amount if illegal immigration NYC has recently had, has “Destroyed NYC”, and contradicts the next democrat who insanely says it creates prosperity.

[CommonSense]

Conducting the orchestra and avoiding the question.

[jacquelinefroehle]

He needs to stop being critical of Trump supporters. We are not the mayor of NY. With his problems....and we are not going to fix it. Deal with what you voted for. Joe Biden....then complain to Joe Biden for failure as a president.

[MrBadjohn]

Why can't the ILLEGAL ALIENS wait in Mexico until granted asylum? For that matter why can't the work and live in Mexico?

[teeharrison]

They want to get them work permits because they will also be able to vote in elections. So, New Yorkers get ready for higher taxes and a 5% cut to all city agencies including the police department. Because we are the suckers who have to pay for this.

[leoramos]

I remember when they gave Americans a hard time with Vaccine or the jab.
Does the illgeals have to get the jab. Why are they not worry about the American homeless, Veteran homeless and the mental ill in New York. TRUMP 2024

[percyjones]

So keep rewarded all these illegal immigrants

[vickiemorgan]

He seems to forget they havnt arrived legally

[gregm]

it starts with work, then IDs, then driver licenses, welfare, then insurance, education, then 2 years goes by, and they say, they have stayed so long, theyre a part of the community, and its inhumane to kick them

[bernadettesnagg]

The AMERICAN PEOPLE DO NOT SUPPORT THEM BEING ABLE TO WORK WHILE WAITING TO FIND OUT IF, IF THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO LIVE HERE OR NOT. THIS SHOULD BE DECIDED BEFORE THEY ARE ALLOWED INTO THE COUNTRY.

[cskim]

Rep Hakeem Jeffries: "...never ever count out New York City."
NYC Mayor Adams: This migration crisis will "...destroy NYC."
Obviously, someone is clueless.
