Raul Reyes: New York Mayor Eric Adam’s anti-migrant rhetoric makes him sound like Ron DeSantis

Raul Reyes for USA Today (New York Mayor Eric Adam’s anti-migrant rhetoric makes him sound like Ron DeSantis) criticizes New York City Mayor Eric Adams for his recent remarks on migrants, including “Let me tell you something New Yorkers, 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,” referring to the asylum-seekers arriving in the city.

He warned that “[t]his issue will destroy New York City.” 

Rayes says that Mayor “Adams is failing New Yorkers on the migrant issue. He is displaying a lack of vision on a complex problem. He is using dangerous rhetoric and abdicating leadership in favor of misleading talking points.”  Put differently, he is talking like Republican Presidential candidate Ron DeSantis.
