New Yorkers are suffering, but that hasnāt stopped Adams from offering illegals Ā freeĀ healthcare, housing, food, other supplies and even free phones.
While American citizens are suffering under the disastrous Biden administrationās porous border policy, illegals continue to receive better resources than many of our homeless veterans, children aging out of foster care and other Americans in need.
NYC Mayor Eric Adams bends over backwards to roll out the welcome mat for illegals. But a new analysis of NYC administration task force heralded as the solution for the numerous and dangerous homeless encampments plaguing the city has proven largely ineffective.
