The dawn of the age of the based black guy has… begun.
The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, has said an increase in migration would “destroy” the city, seemingly blaming the Biden administration for failing to provide federal support as much as the Republican governors who have sent asylum seekers north.
Adams made the remarks during a Wednesday town hall meeting on the Upper West Side. The comments were some of his most biting to date on the issue of asylum seekers.
“Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this,” Adams said. “This issue will destroy New York City.”
Murad Awawdeh, the executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition, said Adams’s comments were “dangerous” to migrants in the city.
“The comments are uncalled for,” Awawdeh told the Guardian. “Using dangerous language sometimes leads to dangerous acts and we don’t want people put in that situation. So it’s important that leaders understand how to communicate [to] not put people’s lives on the line.
“It’s inciteful language and we’re already seeing people be triggered by this [type of] inciteful language. We don’t think the mayor of New York City should be dividing the city further in this moment.”
