It’s easy to be magnanimous until you have to be magnanimous.
Ask New York Mayor Eric Adams. Illegal immigrants are pouring into his city, and he doesn’t know who to be mad at first.
First it was Texas Gov. Abbott.
Abbott “shared the wealth,” and sent illegal immigrants to New York, a city which Adams proudly boasted, is a Sanctuary City.
Then it was the federal government.
“FEMA has failed us,” Adams whined.
He was sore because he didn’t get the $650 million dollars in federal aid he requested.
He only got $30 million.
Now it’s the New York City Council he’s miffed at.
He thinks they’re disrespecting him at what he sees as a lack of support for tackling his immigrant crisis.
And, of course, there is New York Gov. Hochul.
She does nothing about anything, as New Yorkers get slugged, mugged and retail stores are looted, except figure out how to charge motorists a “Congestion Tax.”
So, what does he think she’s going to do?
Adams has been reduced to begging for somewhere to put these people, who have been pouring into border states since Joe came into office.
Illegally. Something Democrats never mention.
And he’s annoyed when parents protest at his putting illegals in school gymnasiums, and in half of New York hotels.
So now Adams is feeling sorry for himself.
He never thought the chickens would come home to roost, even though Obama’s pastor said they would.
He thought he could ignore problems in his city and at the border, and that being mayor was about snappy dressing, lecturing New Yorkers to become vegans like him, and chuckling on late night tv with Stephen Colbert about marajuana.
And now this.
“We received 4,200 people in one week,” a disheartened Adams said. “A few days ago, we got 900 people in one day.”
Adams doesn’t get it. He’s one of those people who says, “Not in my neighborhood.”
As they’d say in Arizona and Texas, “Tell me about it.”
Seventy-two-year old Deborah Douglas lives in a Texas ranch around 50 miles north of the border with her son and his little girl.
After three break-ins by illegals in one year, she said she had to spend $13,000 dollars to install security shutters and screens. And, she added, she doesn’t feel safe walking her property without a gun.
Presnall Cage, a Texas rancher, says his ranch has one of the highest death counts in the county.
He says over the past years, he’s found about 100 dead bodies, enough, he says, “to make me anxious anytime I see vultures circling on the horizon.”
Dead bodies. Ruined crops. Schools, hospitals, neighborhoods stretched to the limit. It’s Joe’s legacy, and a Democrat bid never again to lose an election.
But perhaps Mayor Adams should call upon Kamala Harris. She is, after all, the Border Czar.
Kamala said her approach would be to “get to the source” of the U.S. border problem.
So, she went to Guatemala.
And at a news conference with Guatemalan President Giammattel, she warned his people against illegal immigration.
“Do not come,” Kamala said firmly. “Do not come. The United States will continue to enforce our laws and secure our borders.”
Well, we know that wasn’t true.
Still, the question remains: “What is the source of the illegal immigration influx from our southern border?”
We all know the answer. It's in the White House. But Adams won't say it. No Democrat will.
Adams won’t tell Joe “Close the border, man!” No Democrat will.
Adams may be elected, but he’s not a representative of the people. He’s a Democrat.
And Democrats will never put Joey in a corner.
Hold the line, America.
Rest in Peace, We love you, Tina Turner.
Stay strong, Patriots.
