New York City Mayor Eric Adams ripped President Joe Biden’s liaison offer to address the city’s migrant crisis Monday and told residents that illegal immigrants are coming “to a neighborhood near you.”
“Eventually this is going to come to a neighborhood near you, and it is — 91,000 people,” Adams said, according to a report. “We need to localize this madness.”

Adams’s comments arrive in the wake of footage that showed a swarm of illegal immigrants sleeping on the streets outside the Roosevelt Hotel, which is now an intake center.
“We have to figure out a way of how we don’t have what’s in other municipalities, where you have tent cities all over the city. … We have to figure out how we’re going to locate the lives of the inevitable, that there’s no more room indoors, and we have to figure that out, and that’s what I’ve got the team working on right now,” Adams said.
“It’s not going to get any better — from this moment on is downhill.”
The mayor visited Roosevelt Hotel Sunday to witness the crisis firsthand, he said, and saw immigrants lying around the block and businesses hurting.
“We put buses there for cooling systems, but it’s just not sustainable,” he said.
Adams also ripped the Biden administration’s recent offer to have Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas act as a middle party between the mayor and the president, the report noted.

“Having someone embedded is a good start,” the mayor said.
“We want to thank them. But I have been very clear on what we need: We need to allow people to work. There’s nothing more anti-American than you can’t work! We need to control the border.”
