Oh how times have changed. Not too long ago, NYC Mayor Eric Adams was all for illegal immigrants seeking asylum in his sanctuary city. Now that the city has been taken over by migrants and there is no room for them, Mayor Adams has changed his tune.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The whining muling Eric Adams of New York City, who's
now absolutely begging for help because New York City, the
biggest city in America, is overwhelmed by a comparatively small
group of quote unquote migrants who were immigrants until about
two years ago. The left constantly changing language, and we

(00:22):
have him on the Early Show from yesterday. I believe
that's correct.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
We have created a funnel. All of the border and
states have now took the funnel right to New York City.

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Is that New York City is the.

Speaker 2 (00:36):
Economic engine of this entire state and country. If you
decimate this city, you're going to decimate the foundation of
what's happening.

Speaker 1 (00:45):
So the mayor, the mayor of New York is making
the argument that twenty thousand immigrants showing up in the
biggest city in the country is an existential threat to
the survival of the city and the entire US economy.
And as one tweeter that I accidentally he is one
of my pundits, I like, so I can't give him credit.

(01:07):
I covered up his name by accident. Anyway, he said,
twenty thousand immigrants in Laredo, Texas. Deal with it, you
Ikey flyover winers, twenty thousand immigrants in New York City.
It's gonna decimate the entire US economy, how about that?
And it's so funny that he makes the argument were
the economic engine of the country in the world. Therefore

(01:27):
we need financial help to deal with a tiny number
of migrants. It's unfreaking believable, right, but I love that line.
Twenty thousand immigrants in Laredo, Texas. Deal with it, you, ikey,
flyover winers. They've been dealing with that, like on a
monthly basis for twenty years in all those towns on
the border. So I just love this. This is a

(01:48):
tweet from Eric Adams in twenty twenty one. We should
protect our immigrants period. Yes, New York City will remain
a sanctuary city under an atoms In administration. Proudly, boldly
so to sanctuary status. You are a sanctuary city. Be
a sanctuary city. Go ahead. We are not stopping you.

(02:11):
We didn't make you do that. We didn't make you
claim that a year after year after year. Go ahead.
Why are you whining at us? Was that just stupid
cynicism from all the various sanctuary city states and mayors
who weren't actually dealing with the problem. Was that just
stupid cynicism not our problem, or did they actually not

(02:33):
get that down at the border. These cities have been
dealing with this for years and years and years. I
think it's another example of luxury values. That's one of
the more interesting concepts I've come across in recent months,
where you get to spout these really enlightened sounding beliefs
because you'll never be asked to live up to them

(02:54):
or specifically, and this is finally getting some attention. The educator,
college education class, the elite are constantly talking about how
it's perfectly fine to have babies out of wedlock and
not be married, and babies don't need two parents and
the rest of it. But that very social group, ninety
eight point eight percent of them run their lives precisely

(03:16):
like that because they know it's better. So they spout
this allegedly enlightened sounding belief but then never feel the
repercussions of it. And that's what the sanctuary city has
been along. Hey, time to live up to your yard signs, folks.
Why are you crying now? I know those yard signs
because I live in one of those kind of towns,

(03:37):
those yard signs in a neighborhood where everybody voted for
Bernie Sanders, you know, and everybody feels the same way
about everything. But we welcome everyone because you all agree
on everything. If somebody from a different crowd would show hope,
you wouldn't welcome them either, probably have a witch hunt
and then tar and feather them your maniacs. But this

(03:59):
whole immigration thing is something that I thought Tucker Carlson
was best on for so many years, and now it's
come true. You would always talk about how the Nancy
Pelosi's of the world and Eric Adams is the world
or whoever, who were okay with our immigration situation as
it was. It wasn't affecting their neighborhoods. Their schools weren't

(04:20):
full of people who didn't speak English, their emergency room
wasn't clogged up with people who were using that for
their doctors, their kids, weren't having their industries go all
Spanish speaking so that you couldn't work there unless you
spoke Spanish like it is in the construction industry or
kitchens or various places, and so that didn't matter to them. Yeah,

(04:41):
we've received many emails from listeners who say I was
forced to reapply for my job or I couldn't advance
because you must be bilingual in my industry. Now, so
I just I love this. So back in twenty twenty one,
Eric Adams tweets we should protect our immigrants period. Yes,
New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an
Atom's administration. Well, just the other day he slammed the

(05:03):
shelter man mandate. Quote, you come to New York City
and we're supposed to feed clothe house you as long
as you want. That is just not sustainable. It's not realistic.
So because of that, you will find that people come
from all over Holy Good, parody has become impossible. Mocking
these people better than they mocked themselves is an unclimbable mountain.

(05:25):
I thought I was good at this, but I don't
know what to say. Wow, that is hilarious. This is
gonna make other people come from all over the place. Yeah, yeah,
that's exactly what we all been saying for decades. If
I slap myself in the forehead as hard as I
want to right now, I'd fracture my skull. I mean,
do you just eat? This is astonishing? So I wish

(05:49):
one of these people would go so far as to
say I made a mistake. I thought I understood the
immigration situation. We were too far from the problem. We
didn't get it. Now I understand we need a coherent
border situation, and most importantly, we have to secure our
border and have an orderly system. I wish one of

(06:10):
these people would say it out loud and throw an
olive branch to Greg Abbott, throw an olive branch to
Kirsten Cinema, who is so pissed off about this the
other day. That is a thing for billions or millions
and millions of dollars of federal money when Arizona's gotten
the middle finger for years and again, we're talking about
twenty thousand people having to be absorbed in one of

(06:33):
the richest places in the entire world in terms of power,
it probably is the richest place in the entire world.
We can't afford. This is unsustainable. We have to house
and feed these people. Yeah, are you freaking kidding me?
Who do you think has been housing and feeding the
hundreds of thousands every month as we set record after

(06:54):
record after record the last couple of years. Who do
you think was paying for all that. Oh my god,
it's amazing. This is such a delightfully perfect unmasking of
virtue signaling, although it's virtue signaling in the absence of
the virtue. That's the frustrating part. I mean, if you're

(07:16):
like actually taking in immigrants and feeding them and clothing
them in your house on a regular basis, and you
want to pitch the idea of a sanctuary city, well, okay,
you know what, I respect you for that. This is
absolutely a hilarious Potempkin Village Hollywood set of virtue. You
go past the surface of a building, there's no damn building,

(07:39):
there's no damn virtue.
