New York City Mayor Eric Adams revealed on Tuesday that he is open to meeting with incoming Trump border czar Tom Homan to develop solutions to take on illegal immigrant criminals, and he dismissed criticism from the left, telling critics to "cancel me."Adams was asked at a press conference about whether he would meet with Homan, who was picked by President-elect Trump to lead the mass deportation operation he intends to launch after he is sworn into office.Adams stressed the city’s openness to immigrants and emphasized the work being done to help migrants apply for Temporary Protected Status and work authorization, as well as services including case management for migrants.
He said it has now seen a 21-week decrease in migrant arrivals."But we cannot ignore … the fact that the American people have communicated to us loudly and clearly: We have a broken system. They want to fix, and we need to fix our immigration system," he said.He said he has reached out to Homan and said he would like to speak to him: "I’m not going to be warring with this administration, I'm going to be working with this administration. President Trump is the president-elect. And whomever he chooses to run his agencies. I'm looking forward to sitting down and see how do we better New York.""I would like to speak with our border czar and find out what his plans are. Where our common grounds are, we can work together. And I strongly believe, my history is sitting down with those across the aisle with different ways of thinking and sit down and share my ideas," he said.
"I believe I have some ideas that could deal with this issue, and we can reach what the American people have been saying to us: secure our borders, address the people who are committing violent acts in our country and make sure that … our citizens are going to be safe."In another part of the press conference, he said those who are in the country illegally who are otherwise law-abiding "should not be rounded up in the middle of the night."But he said that it was different for criminal illegal immigrants.

We have Governor Abbot to thank for this.
If he hadn't bussed the illegals to NY, Adams would still be slamming efforts to stop illegals.
Not really, Greg bused like .001% of them. Most will stay in Texas because that's where the work is. It will be a blue state soon. Just like Abbott was told to do. NYC is feeling the influx of the 3rd worldflights
Is that true? I don't recall Adams complaining until the busses started coming in from Texas.
No it's not true. You are correct, and Abbott commented that they were only sending a small percentage from the start. But it was enough to overburden NYC, LA, and Chicago's welfare system causing them to beg Biden for federal aid.
I don’t like his politics, but I’ll give him a bit of credit for having the balls to say what he said. Most liberals in local, state and federal government are simply too scared to stand apart from the party majority for fear they will be cancelled. They aren’t the only ones. Republicans are exactly the same. We need to save this Country! And it’s past time for all leaders to step up to the plate and do what’s right for the US taxpayer and the US.
He knows what’s best for his future.
Bend the knee.
