Not the Adams family! NYC Mayor Eric now backs OUT of pledge to house migrants at Gracie Mansion over ‘legal issues’
Daily Mail | 6/15/23 | Sophie MannNew York City Mayor Eric Adams is backing out of his promise to put up illegal migrants in Gracie Mansion, citing ‘legal issues.’
Back in January, Adams claimed he was ‘leading from the front’ by offering up the official mayoral residence to house some of the thousands of undocumented migrants flooding into his city each month.
‘I don’t have a problem if I can put a migrant family in Gracie Mansion because I want to lead from the front.
‘That’s the type of leader I am,’ he said.
But now, he claims red tape is thwarting the mayor from moving forward with his leadership.
On Thursday, at City Hall, Adams told reporters that perhaps it was his offer to house the migrants that really mattered the most in the end.
‘I think leading the challenge of the migrant problem is both substantive and symbolic and as I always said, ‘Good generals lead from the front,’’ he said.
‘They don’t send their troops into battle and ask, ‘How was the war?’ They lead them into battle. The symbolism of saying, ‘I’m willing to put a homeless family in Gracie’ is that symbolism,’ he continued.
According to the New York Post, Adams complained that ‘legal issues’ were thwarting his attempt to house the migrants and that the city Law Department hasn’t been able to overcome them.
He did not elaborate on the precise issues that have placed a hard pause on his effort to place migrants in the Upper East Side mansion in the park.
‘We are never going to break the law. And so, we’d be able to know what we can’t do and what we can’t do as a symbolism of saying, ‘I’m willing to open up the people’s house to the people of the city,” he said.
Even Kamala Harris seemed perplexed at what he was trying to say.
Instead, He’ll…
…house them at your place.
Adam Schiff: “I am prepared to introduce legislation to commandeer the entire Trump Tower for the migrants!”
… commandeer vacant office space “for the public good”…
Actually that idea sort of makes sense.
Which is why they will never do it.

…he won’t say they’re illegal aliens, but they’re illegal aliens.
I don’t want to insult the honorable Mayor by assuming that he actually believes what he just said.
They’ve been housing illegals there for years. If it’s good enough for his maids and his cooks and his groundskeepers, it should be good enough for the rest of them.
… be forced to cut back on strict law enforcement by the more progressive wing of his party, and hope that federal monies will flow in to cover up his ineptitude…
Why not send them to Hart Island? There’s plenty of room there.
Isn’t that right next to Liver Island?
So let them sign a waiver and let them overstay their welcome as house guests..what, you arent allowed to have company Mr.Mayor?
Put Snake Plissken on retainer, spend a billion or two to prove that his words actually make more noise than his actions.
