Eric Adams in Mexico City: Would-Be Illegal Aliens Face ‘Nightmare’ in NYC
New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) told would-be illegal aliens in Mexico City on Thursday that they face a “nightmare” scenario if they cross the United States-Mexico border and travel to New York City.
As Breitbart News reported, Adams is traveling to Mexico, Ecuador, and Colombia to warn would-be illegal aliens not to travel to the sanctuary city of New York City.

While visiting Mexico City on Thursday, Adams suggested that would-be illegal aliens will end up in a “nightmare” scenario if they travel to New York City after crossing the southern border.
“I say to those who are pursuing the American dream, it should not turn into a nightmare,” Adams said:
When you see children making the long trek through a jungle and then having to live in conditions of congregate shelters, of not having the real environment that they deserve, inability to work, it just makes it extremely challenging. [Emphasis added]
Although Adams has said illegal immigration “will destroy” New York City, he — along with Gov. Kakthy Hochul (D-NY) — has not asked President Joe Biden to stop the United States’ expansive Catch and Release network, which is freeing at least 60,000 border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior every month.
Instead, Adams has turned New York City’s migrant crisis into a slush fund for particular industries hoping to secure millions in taxpayer dollars via city contracts. Last month, one report indicated that the city was shelling out $35 million on just two migrant hotels.
Likewise, Adams’ deputies told the media Wednesday that hotels are actually hiking prices specifically to get more lucrative contracts out of the city to house border crossers and illegal aliens.

Cuellar: Biden Won’t Show People Being Deported Because He’s Scared of Activists
On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “The Lead,” Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) stated that the Biden administration needs to show people being deported, but won’t do it because they don’t want to upset immigration advocates.
Cuellar said that he thinks building a wall won’t work and the key is to get Mexico to do more and deport people. He added, “This administration is doing some deportations, but they don’t show them. They’re afraid to show people going back like President Obama and Secretary Jeh Johnson did. You’ve got to show repercussions, and you’ve got to show video of people going back, and not just streaming across over here.”
Host Jake Tapper then asked, “Why do you think they’re afraid to show the repercussions? Why do you think they’re afraid to show people being deported and going back south of the border?”
Cuellar answered, “I’ll tell you, I had a conversation with somebody there, and this is what they said, we don’t want to get our immigration advocates angry at us. That’s it. That’s what somebody told me there.”
Cuellar added that while Biden’s handling of the border has improved, it still needs more improvement.

NPR’s Inskeep: A Chunk of Dems Generally Favor Immigration, But Don’t Want ‘Problems in Their Backyards’
On Thursday’s broadcast of CNN’s “OutFront,” NPR “Morning Edition” co-host Steve Inskeep stated that there is a contingent of Democrats who “don’t want problems in their cities, problems in their backyards, even if they favor immigration in general.”
Host Erin Burnett asked, “This has become at the core of politics in a way, perhaps, it never has been before. And that is because it has moved into big, northern, liberal cities, right? It is now in people’s communities, as you say. … And I know you talk about border walls, a wall versus barriers. Biden has said he’s clear, a wall, for an example, won’t work. But the reality is is whatever the word you use — and, as you point out, maybe it is not just a matter of semantics — but nonetheless, from a political point of view, it does seem to fly in the face of some of his most core campaign promises. … So, Steve, how does he deal with that? That’s, of course, what he said during the campaign.”
Inskeep responded, “Well, this is a reality that American politicians have always faced. There’s always been fear and anxiety about immigrants and immigration. … Lincoln had to deal with this, had to deal with what was called the nativist movement, and he had to figure out how to appeal to nativist voters politically, even though he disagreed with them on the issue. And every generation of American politicians since has faced the same challenge. And that is definitely true of Democrats, who have a big part of their coalition who are immigrants and pro-immigrant, but have other parts of their coalition who have certain doubts or at least they don’t want problems in their cities, problems in their backyards, even if they favor immigration in general.”

Mayorkas Will Build a Few Miles of Border Wall
President Joe Biden’s pro-migration border chief says he will build several more miles of President Donald Trump’s border wall to divert migrants away from several gaps that he has left open since 2021.
The extra miles of border are not intended to stop the job-seeking economic migrants. Instead, Alejandro Mayorkas, the Cuban-born Secretary of Homeland Security, is asking migrants to safely register at the official gates along the border so they can be quickly released into U.S. society.
It is not clear when the extra walls will be built. However, video of the construction can be used by Democrats during the 2024 elections.
Mayorkas’ Department of Homeland Security announced its plans on Wednesday in the government’s Federal Register of Regulations:
There is presently an acute and immediate need to construct physical barriers and roads in the vicinity of the border of the United States in order to prevent unlawful entries into the United States in the project areas pursuant to sections 102(a) and 102(b) of IIRIRA.
The six-page document lists the short gaps but does not state the total length of the wall to be built.
The document says funding to fill the gaps comes from money that was provided by Congress to Trump in 2019.
Mayorkas has had the legal authority and funds to build many miles of wall. But he instead has allowed more than five million wage-cutting, rent-spiking migrants to walk, fly, or sneak across the border since January 2021. In September, for example, media reports said he allowed at least 260,000 migrants across the border.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection
Mayorkas’ migrants can be used by U.S. employers to replace unwanted older and sicker workers, parents encumbered by children, or Americans with criminal records and drug addictions.
Filling the gaps may reduce Mayorkas’ record number of drowned migrants. Migrant deaths in 2023 are beating records set under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama.
