NEW YORK — Mayor Eric Adams charged Friday that New York City is getting “destroyed” by the federal government’s failure to contain the nation’s migrant crisis — a thinly-veiled broadside against President Joe Biden delivered just hours before Adams was set to meet with White House officials about the matter.
Adams, who claimed earlier this week that Biden has “failed” the city by not providing more migrant-related financial assistance, leveled the latest jab against the president in remarks at the African American Mayors Association’s annual conference in Washington, D.C.
Appearing on a panel with three fellow Democratic mayors from large U.S. cities, Adams argued his administration has since last year done a solid job accommodating more than 52,000 mostly Latin American migrants “without one penny from the federal government.”
