During a press conference last week by the Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, he expressed his interest to collaborate on immigration regulations with president elect, Donald Trump’s new border czar, Tom Homan.

According to Mayor Adam, he has always express that those immigrants who are living in the city and committing crimes – robberies, shooting at police officers, killing innocent people, and raping women have been a harm to the city. “Those are the people I am talking about, and I would love to sit down with the administration’s new border czar and hear his thoughts on how we are going to address those who are harming our citizens,” Adams commented.

“If you come into this country and this city and think you are going to harm innocent New Yorkers — and innocent migrants and asylum seekers — this s not the mayor you want to be in the city under,” Mayor Adams expressed.

The mayor noted that he thinks he can help the Trump administration with its goals towards immigration policies.

Adams continued by saying he is hoping that the Trump administration listen to some of the ideas he has been pushing over the last two years. Mr. Adams also expressed shocked at the amount of Trump supporters living in the five boroughs of New York City, who were troubled by the problems with illegal immigration.

In further dialogue on the severity of the immigration problems, the mayor also noted that the voters are saying, “we need to secure our border, we need to make sure cities are not experiencing what New York City experienced.”

“I am willing to sit down with this administration like I tried to sit down with the previous administration in my ten trips to Washington DC, to say we have a problem that is overrunning our cities,” Adams added.

The mayor concluded by saying, “The voters communicated loudly and clearly:  We have a broken immigration system, it needs to be fixed. That is the only conversation I want,” Adams declared.
