Lawrence Jones criticized New York Mayor Eric Adams’ call for the Biden administration to use federal dollars to deal with the influx of immigrants from the border only now that immigrants are arriving in New York. Former ICE Acting Director Tom Homan called for an end to sanctuary city policies in the “Cross Country.” LAWRENCE JONES: It’s no secret that the border crisis has fallen into the hands of Democrats. There’s no reason to ignore it now. We saw clandestine flights of migrants landed in New York for months. We were there. We followed the bus full of illegal immigrant passengers as they were disembarked and allowed to freely enter this country. But it wasn’t until another bus arrived on Eric Adams’ doorstep that he called on the Biden administration to intervene. On Friday morning, a group of immigrant men, women and children arrived straight from Texas. BORDER CRISIS AT HOME IN DC, SO MAYOR FINALLY CARES Immigrants on a bus from Texas arrive in Manhattan, New York City, Friday, Aug. 5, 2022. (Fox News) JONES TORES LAWMAKERS OVER BORDER CRISIS: THEY WERE ALL FOR THE COUPON UNTIL THEY WERE HARD TOM HOMAN: Sanctuary cities are a magnet that keeps people coming to this country. They can go to New York. They can get a driver’s license. They can get a job. If they have an immigration proceeding, they use taxpayer money in New York to help defend them in immigration proceedings. If they are arrested for a crime, they will not be turned over to ICE, they will be released back into the community to re-offend. Who the hell wouldn’t want to go to New York if you’re an illegal alien? So he didn’t say a word when the Biden administration flies people to New York in the middle of the night. But the moment a Republican governor does, he has an issue. If he wants to solve this crisis, number one, get rid of him sanctuary city politics… [Eric Adams] he was a cop — he needs to start acting like one.
