The Issue: The city and state’s failure to cope with the thousands of migrants coming to New York City.
I find it humorous that Mayor Adams calls what is going on in New York City a “crisis” (“Hizzoner demands state bailout for asylum crush,” Aug. 24).
Well, Mr. Mayor, it is a self-created one. Not only did you allow it to happen, you asked for it with your shrill virtue-signaling.
Now that you brought this upon the city, you want help. As a resident of upstate, we did not ask for it. We do not want to pay for your mistakes. We do not want unvetted illegal immigrants in our communities.
Yes, a few liberal knuckleheads do, but the majority does not. I say, you want them, take them into your house, and you pay for it.

I know that absolutely no common sense is ever used by the left or any recent mayor, but what’s stopping more countries from shipping 100,000 migrants to New York knowing our “Right to Shelter”?
Why doesn’t every country just empty their prisons and put them on a boat to New York City?
City residents didn’t ask for this moronic policy, and they shouldn’t see their tax dollars spent on housing and feeding illegal immigrants.
Mayor Adams is going to bankrupt the city because he put illegal immigration ahead of New York City residents.

So now our useless governor is asking for help from President Biden (“Kat screech at Joe,” Aug. 25).
Help is what’s needed? Really? How about calling Biden out for his open-border policy?
A Democrat will never call out another Democrat. Biden’s open-border policy is killing our city, along with many other cities. What really is his endgame? Destroying the entire country? It sure looks like that.
This keeps the pressure off his corruption. How can you vote for an individual who is tearing the fabric of this nation apart?
His record is the terrible: the Afghanistan withdrawal, corrupt dealings with foreign countries, the war on fossil fuels, high inflation, open borders, on and on. He’s a senile old man. What is the attraction?

It is a failure of leadership that has created this sinkhole of despair.
Decades of political inaction in addressing true immigration reform and our present open borders are devouring this country.
There is not a lack of compassion, but the obvious question is: How many more people can this country take in? Where is the accountability for the spending of taxpayer money and what it’s being used to fund?
We have never seen outreach of this magnitude toward our own homeless, veterans and citizens in need of care.
Is it wrong for someone to say on a federal level that we can no longer sustain this?
Where is Sen. Chuck Schumer, who can’t get enough of himself in front of a camera?
Where is Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, who makes an appearance every once in a while?
Charity is suppose to begin at home, but we have it backward.

Adams trying to spin his horrendous handling of illegal immigrants flowing into the city is comical (“Oh, this takes the crown!” Aug. 24).
It sounds like Biden touting “Bidenomics” as a great success. Or disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo writing a book about his great handling of COVID in which he left out the part where thousands of elderly nursing home residents were killed by his policies. The clown shows continue.

So 82% of New Yorkers are fed up with the illegal immigration crisis (“New Yorkers fed up with migrant mess,” Aug. 23).
Well, where were your complaints when the border states were being overrun by this wave of illegal immigrants coming across the border?
It’s your own fault. Elections have consequences — on a federal, state and local level. You voted for incompetence, and you are seeing incompetence throughout the country.
