Stewie Griffin Destroys NYC Migrants & Mayor Eric Adams

Mayor Eric Adams says asylum seeker crisis 'will destroy New York City'

Stewie Griffin from Family Guy decided to chime in on the migrant crisis and he crushed Eric Adams.

NEW YORK (WABC) -- As asylum seekers and their families continue to arrive at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, recent comments from New York City Mayor Eric Adams are drawing reactions.

During a community meeting on the Upper West Side this week, Mayor Adams said that the ongoing migrant crisis "will destroy NYC."

"Never in my life have I had a problem that I didn't see an ending to, I don't see an ending to this," Adams said. "This issue will destroy New York City."

As more buses arrive at Port Authority, the mayor says the city is severely impacted by the influx of migrants and the city is not getting support from the federal government.

Adams said 110,000 asylum seekers have passed through New York City since April 2022 and the issue is creating a $12 billion budget deficit.

Republican leaders say the mayor is right. Following the comments, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said New York City deserves better. This comes as Republicans have been pushing for Adams to repeal NYC's sanctuary policies.

Adams said at one point the asylum seekers were coming from Venezuela, but now they are coming from Ecuador, Russian speakers are coming through Mexico as well as migrants from West Africa.
