New York City Mayor Eric Adams said Joe Biden’s surprising response to his demands that the White House do something about the migrant crisis was to “be a good Democrat, Eric.”
The embattled mayor claimed that Biden’s reaction to the crisis that wreaked havoc on his city was just one of the many reasons why the Democratic Party “left me and left the working class” in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
Adams, who was indicted in September on bribery, wire fraud and conspiracy charges, as well as soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals, spoke of his frustration with how the saga unfolded.
‘We have Venezuelan gang leaders who were coming into the city creating crimes,’ Adams said, prompting him to ask Biden for help, the condescending response he received.
Carlson questions Adams about the city’s sanctuary status and the mayor denies that they are “welcoming” immigrants to New York.
Adams has previously said that sanctuary status should be modified to allow immigrants who commit crimes to be turned over to ICE and that he wants to work with incoming ‘Border Czar’ Tom Homan.
He simply tells Carlson in the preview clip, “I don’t think they should be arrested in the middle of the night.”
At one point, he expresses pure frustration and says, ‘Damn, I’m at the back of the line!’
New York City Mayor Eric Adams said his demands that Joe Biden’s White House do something about the migrant crisis destroying his city were a shocking warning to “be a good Democrat, Eric.”

The mayor mentioned this as one of the many reasons he feels the Democratic Party “left me and left the working class” in an interview with Tucker Carlson.
“Mayor Adams does not believe we should live in silos and speak in echo chambers,” spokeswoman Kayla Mamelak said in a statement.
“At a time when our country is so divided, the mayor believes we need to get out of our comfort zone and talk to everyone, even those we don’t always agree with.”
Adams has said he would “love” to work with Tom Homan to deport criminal immigrants.
The Democratic politician, who has signaled he will run for a second term in 2025, said he is not afraid of being “cancelled” for being “honest about the truth” when it comes to immigration.
“Those who are here committing crimes – robberies, shooting police officers, raping innocent people – have been a disservice to our country,” former NYPD Capt. Adams, 64, said at a news conference. press on Tuesday.
“Those are the people I’m talking about and I would love to sit down with the border czar and hear his thoughts on how we are going to address those who are harming our citizens.”
Adams added that this position had not changed because previous Democratic administrations committed to doing the same.
“You know what’s interesting: I want everyone to go back and Google Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, Google what they said about those who commit crimes in our city and what they said in our country,” he said.

Carlson questions Adams about the city’s sanctuary status and the mayor denies that they are “welcoming” immigrants to New York.
‘They said those who commit crimes must leave immediately. That was his position.
‘So this is not a new position, because in the era of “cancel culture” (everyone) is afraid to be honest about the truth.
‘Well, cancel me, because I’m going to protect the people of this city.
“If you come to this country and this city and think you’re going to harm innocent New Yorkers – and innocent immigrants and asylum seekers – this is not the mayor you want to be in the city with.”
Trump and Homan have pledged to begin deporting “millions” of immigrants since their first day in the White House following their inauguration on January 20.
The pair said they will begin by cracking down on asylum claims used by immigrants to get interviews before attacking the super gangs terrorizing American cities.
Homan has also said that the incoming president will withdraw federal funds from any state that refuses to comply with mass deportation plans.
The incoming border chief previously served at the highest levels of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under Presidents Barack Obama and Trump.

Adams implies that the Biden administration was deeply unhelpful when it came to the immigration crisis.
Meanwhile, Adams said in mid-November that he believes he can help the Trump administration with its plans, while lamenting what he called the “broken” immigration system under President Joe Biden.
Adams also declared New York City a sanctuary city, meaning its laws limit cooperation between local authorities and immigration officials.
“I’m willing to sit down with this administration like I tried to sit down with the previous administration in my 10 trips to Washington to say: We have a problem that’s invading our cities,” he told reporters at the time. according to Politico.
“I hope this administration listens to what I’m saying and listens to some of the ideas I’ve been pushing for … almost two years.”
Adams went on to say that he was not surprised by the support Trump received in the five boroughs, noting that many Trump supporters cited immigration as one of their top concerns.
“Voters are saying, ‘We need to secure our border, we need to make sure cities are not experiencing what New York City experienced,'” the mayor said. according to the New York Post.
‘Voters communicated it loud and clear: we have a broken immigration system and we must fix it. That’s the only conversation I want.
The budding bromance between Adams and Trump has many wondering whether the mayor could earn a pardon from the president if convicted.

New York Mayor Eric Adams has said he would “love” to work with Donald Trump’s incoming border czar Tom Homan (pictured right) to deport criminal immigrants in 2025.
Adams was indicted in September on bribery, wire fraud and conspiracy charges, in addition to soliciting campaign contributions from foreign nationals.
Some of the charges date back to the time when Adams served as Brooklyn borough president, and investigators alleged he accepted gifts from officials in Turkey, among other misdeeds.
“Yes, I would, yes,” Trump said at Mar-a-Lago on Monday when asked about a pardon for Adams. “I think he was treated quite unfairly.”
Trump noted that he was not aware of the full scope of the charges.
‘Now I haven’t seen the seriousness of all this. But it seems, you know, like being upgraded to an airplane many years ago. “I know everyone here has probably been promoted,” the president-elect told the roughly 20 journalists gathered in Mar-a-Lago’s ornate living room for his first news conference since winning the 2024 election.
“They see that all of you are stars and they say, ‘I want to make that NBC person better, I’m going to make him better,'” Trump said. “And that would mean you will spend the rest of your life in prison.” .’
Trump also insisted, without evidence, that Adams’ impeachment was politically motivated because of his strong words about illegal immigration.
