Eric Adams warns that the immigration crisis and the situation of the border may allow another 11-S
The NY mayor asks Biden and Congress for a reform of border and immigration policy and again criticizes the Administration for abandoning cities in the face of the avalanche of asylum seekers.
The mayor of New York, Eric Adams, warned of the need to monitor the southern border because possible terrorists may be taking advantage of the immigration crisis to access the US to "harm" the country. The councilman was again critical of the open door policy of the Biden Administration and indicated that the memory of September 11 should determine immigration policy. In addition, Adams again called on the president and Congress for true border and immigration reform, since "no cities should have to [bear the] burden [of] the national crisis on its own."
The migration crisis, "an opportunity to harm our country"
During an interview on CBS to recall the terrible attacks of 22 years ago, Adams warned that it is not unthinkable that something like this could happen again given the state of the border with Mexico since Biden arrived at the White House. The mayor of the Big Apple asked for the collaboration of the security forces and intelligence agencies and not to "accommodate" believing that this danger will disappear spontaneously.
Adams warns about people who hate America and want to "harm us the inside"
Adams recalled what happened 22 years ago to strengthen his argument, and insisted on the need to "be vigilant " against people who "hate America" and want to "hurt us from the inside."
September 11 should determine border policy
The interviewer asked him directly, "are you really saying that the lessons of 9/11 should be remembered by the president and the federal government in terms of determining border policy?" To which Adams responded with a resounding "Yes."
Adams Calls for Border and Immigration Reform
Finally, the councilman considered that the anniversary of the attacks was a good time to remember the president and Congress The need for immigration and border policy reform and help the cities most affected by the massive influx of immigrants.
Data support Adams' concerns
These are not mere fears, but recent reports confirm Adams' warnings. A document from the House Homeland Security Committee said the border patrol has recorded 149 encounters with people on the terrorist watch list so far this year. This is the absolute record of arrests of criminals on this list, which was at 98 during all of 2022. By contrast, during Donald Trump's term, the number of criminals registered as suspected or known for terrorism apprehended was only 14 individuals.
