Dear Editor,
When it comes to the migrant crisis with 110,000 asylum seekers coming to NYC, some of our leading elected officials remind me of Sargent Schultz from the TV sitcom “Hogans Heroes” who said “I see nothing, nothing.”
Never shy around a microphone or camera, Senators Charles Schumer, Kirsten Gillibrand and Democratic House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries never held a press conference to hold President Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris (Biden’s appointed Boarder Czar) and Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas accountable.
It is pure fantasy on their part to continue claiming that the southern border with Mexico is secure. The situation is growing even worse as thousands more are now also illegally crossing our Canadian northern border.
In contrast, NYC Mayor Eric Adams is a profile in courage. He recently said dealing with this will cost NYC $12 billion over the next three years and could have a long-term devastating impact on the Big Apple. Thank goodness unlike NYC, Suffolk is not designated a “Sanctuary County.”
Sincerely,
Larry Penner
