President Joe Biden has apparently had a falling out with the mayor of America\u2019s largest city, New York City\u2019s Eric Adams, because the fellow Democrat has been criticizing his administration\u2019s handling of an illegal immigration crisis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conflict bubbled up on Tuesday, when Adams was asked in a \u2018Good Day NY\u2019 television interview<\/a> about the city\u2019s struggles to cope with a massive migrant influx, \u201cWhere the heck is the president of the United States?\u201d The mayor replied, \u201cThat is a good question, and I think we all should be asking why this is happening to a city that was turning itself around and will continue to do so.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A surge in illegal crossings of the US-Mexico border to all-time highs began to hit home for New York last year, when the governors of Texas and Florida began bussing migrants to Democrat-controlled cities. \u201cThis should not be happening to New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles and the other big northern cities,\u201d Adams said. \u201cAnd really, it should not be happening to El Paso or Brownsville, Texas. No city should be carrying this burden. This is a national problem, and it needs a national solution.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Feeling pressure from his own constituents, Adams has escalated his criticism of the Biden administration in recent weeks amid increasing struggles to accommodate the illegal aliens streaming into his city. Parents were up in arms on Tuesday over the city\u2019s plan to house hundreds of migrants in school gymnasiums after running out of space elsewhere. Homeless veterans were reportedly kicked out of hotels in upstate New York, where they had been given temporary shelter, to make room for illegal immigrants being bused from New York City.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams was reportedly excluded from Biden\u2019s re-election campaign team to punish him for alleged disloyalty. The mayor had announced earlier this year that he would be serving on the campaign\u2019s national leadership advisory team, but when the group\u2019s official membership list was released last week, Adams was left off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a shot to the chops from the Biden team,\u201d political consultant Hank Sheinkopf told the New York Post. \u201cThe message is: Don\u2019t criticize an incumbent Democratic president and don\u2019t criticize the first black female vice president. Any criticism from a Democrat heading into re-election is seen as a betrayal.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams hasn\u2019t been alone in sounding the alarm over the immigration crisis. New York\u2019s governor, Kathy Hochul, has asked Biden\u2019s administration for funding help and access to federal installations, such as military bases, to house illegal aliens. \u201cYou\u2019re going to start seeing people living in tents not just on the border, but in the streets of New York and across New York state because we\u2019ve reached a breaking point,\u201d<\/em> she said on Monday in an MSNBC interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
