Democrat Mayor Sent Illegal Migrants to China?

Politico reports that it exclusively obtained documents showing that New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams spent $50,000 resettling migrants around the United States and other countries.

The outlet said Adams resettled 114 migrant households to mostly Florida and Texas.

Some were sent to South American countries and one was sent to China, according to the outlet.

“Shocking hypocrisy & duplicity by NY Mayor Adams is exposed. When he called me inhumane & racist for sending migrants to New York, he was sending migrants to China, South America & Texas,” Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said.

“NY is not the sanctuary city it claims—it’s a shipping center,” he added.

“Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration,” Adams said in 2021.

"We should protect our immigrants." Period.

Yes, New York City will remain a sanctuary city under an Adams administration. #EricOnNBC

Politico reports:

Between April 2022 and April 2023, New York City spent around $50,000 to resettle 114 migrant households in cities around the U.S. and the globe, according to information obtained exclusively by POLITICO through a public information request. Some were sent to countries in South America — and one all the way to China.

The most common destinations were Florida, which received 28 families, and Texas, which received 14.

That represents a fraction of the nearly 79,000 migrants who entered the city since last spring, and is thousands fewer than Gov. Greg Abbott has sent out of Texas. But the fact that New York City paid for trips to Republican strongholds could further inflame national tensions on a subject that is sure to influence both Congressional races and President Joe Biden’s reelection bid.

The outlet shared further details of foreign countries that received migrants from New York City.

Cont. from Politico:

Last fall, the city announced a reticketing program that assists asylum-seekers who want to be somewhere other than New York. That program, called Project Reconnect, exists separately from other reticketing initiatives run by nonprofits such as Catholic Charities, but provides a window into where arriving migrants ultimately want to go.

Within the United States, the city’s Department of Social Services assisted with travel to 64 cities in 27 states, in addition to helping one household get to Washington, according to the data obtained by POLITICO. After Florida and Texas, the next most common destination was North Carolina, where six families traveled.

The program even sent asylum-seekers abroad. The Adams administration paid for four households to travel to Colombia, two to Peru, and one household apiece to China, Ecuador and Venezuela.

Of course, this is all on the dime of U.S. taxpayers.

It will continue until the border is secure.
