The Big Apple is crumbling under the weight of Biden’s border catastrophe. With over 170,000 illegal migrants flooding New York City since spring 2022 and taxpayers bleeding $10 million daily for their care, the city’s emergency shelters have reached a breaking point.
Hotels-turned-migrant-housing now dot the landscape from Manhattan to Queens, while homeless American veterans struggle to find beds. Welcome to the progressive paradise of 2025.
In a plot twist that has AOC and her squad reaching for their smelling salts, NYC Mayor Eric Adams made an unannounced trip to Mar-a-Lago to meet with President-elect Donald Trump.
The same Eric Adams who, in 2020, denounced Trump’s immigration policies as “un-American” is now apparently seeking guidance from the man who predicted this crisis with remarkable precision.
When Democrats Come Knocking…
Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence has become the unexpected pilgrimage site for chastened Democratic leaders. Senator John Fetterman made the journey in December, followed by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau earlier this month.
Now Adams, facing a September 2024 federal indictment that many conservatives view as Biden’s political revenge for criticizing border policies, joins the growing parade of liberals seeking Trump’s counsel.
“The mayor looks forward to having a productive conversation with the incoming president on how we can move our city and country forward,” said Adams’ spokesman, Fabien Levy, masterfully understating the obvious desperation behind the visit.
A Tale of Two New Yorkers
There’s a delicious irony in this meeting of New York minds. Trump built gleaming towers that defined the Manhattan skyline, while Adams watched progressive policies transform Times Square back to its 1970s glory days – and not in a good way.
Both men understand the city’s pulse, but they’ve taken different paths. Trump’s “law and order” warnings from 2016 now sound less like campaign rhetoric and more like prophecy, especially after New York’s crime spike and migrant crisis of 2024.
The Great Progressive Backpedal
The evidence of failed liberal policies keeps mounting. Adams has already held private meetings with Trump’s incoming border czar, Thomas Homan, to discuss expedited deportations for criminal illegal aliens – a complete reversal of the city’s sanctuary status.
Meanwhile, New York’s 2024 election results showed the biggest conservative shift since Reagan’s era.
Even more telling, Adams has publicly expressed interest in attending Trump’s inauguration ceremony next week (which, in a twist of meteorological mockery, has been moved indoors due to record-breaking cold).
Key Takeaways:
- Trump’s border warnings proven right as NYC struggles with 170,000+ migrants.
- Biden’s absence forces Democratic leaders to seek Trump’s solutions.
- Mayor Eric Adams visited Mar-a-Lago to seek help for the city.
- Conservative policies triumph as sanctuary cities admit defeat.
