The Issue: Mayor Adams stating he wants to deport illegal migrants who have been accused of crimes.
Well, I suppose itβs good to hear that Mayor Adams will be cooperating with President-elect Donald Trumpβs border czar, Tom Homan (βββCancel Me, I Donβt Care,βββ Dec. 4).
The Post shows how the mayor has had to maneuver various aspects of the migrant crisis.
Still, I remember that President Biden did not meet with Adams when he visited Washington to plead for help.
In spite of being ignored, however, Adams went on to endorse Vice President Kamala Harris.
That was pure lock-step politics and very disappointing.
I guess Adams has seen the writing on the wall and will assist with the removal of illegal immigrants.
Itβs only sad that he didnβt call out Washington politicians earlier.

Eric Adams is once again speaking with significant bluster, as he usually does when in a difficult situation.
New Yorkers should listen to him but remain skeptical until his talk is matched with measurable results.
The real achievements he generates often fall short of his verbal bravado.
Hopefully, I am wrong this time, for the sake of New York.

It sounds like Eric Adams is doing a 180-turn, perhaps hoping for a future pardon from Trump.
New York is a mess because Adams did nothing to stop the flow of illegal immigrants and then opted to house many of them in high-end hotels.
This crisis has disrupted our health-care system and our public schools.
The city is now accommodating tens of thousands of migrants, many of them unvetted.
Adams must immediately cancel NYCβs sanctuary city status.

This is a classic example of too little, too late.
Adams originally welcomed migrants with open arms, probably because he thought someone else was paying for it.
His virtue-signaling stopped him from seeing the mess he was creating.
The result?
Crime, costs and more division.
Now Adams wants deportations, typically changing his stance when he thinks it will make him look better.
The mayor should feel ashamed for the damage he has caused.

President Dwight Eisenhower deported illegal immigrants by sending them to the center of Mexico, not just near our border.
We should make it difficult and expensive to return here.

Two years ago, busloads of migrants were coming into New York, and Adams was greeting them with open arms.
Now he is stating he wants to work with Tom Homan, who is slated to become Trumpβs border czar, in deporting illegal-migrant criminals.
Well, if thatβs the case, then he needs to move forward.
Talk is cheap and actions speak louder than words.

I want to thank Mayor Adams for saying he will work with Trump to deport migrant criminals.
Adams has the courage to do the right thing and to keep us safe, unlike some other politicians.
I will always vote for him.

Mayor Adams fools no one. He allowed this city to be overrun by illegal immigrants, and our taxpayer money has been funding it.
Companies and New Yorkers alike are fleeing like never before.
Where has the mayor been for nearly three years through all this?
Largely against deportation, calling NYC a sanctuary city.
Now, for political expediency, he says heβll work with Trump on deportations.
Good luck with that, Adams, because you are politically finished.

If it wasnβt for Trumpβs victory, Mayor Adams wouldnβt be speaking strongly about the deportation of criminal migrants.
This particular election was a blessing for New York City Democrats.
I wonder if they will realize that.
