(My new American Thinker post)
The mayor of New York has a new tune on the political charts. It's his remake of that old tune by Teddy Pendergrass:
"I don't love you anymore
It's just that simple
No, no, no, not like before
Such a shame, dirty shame"
Yes, it's a "shame, dirty shame" but Mayor Eric Adams can't sanctuary anymore. The mayor is learning that the whole thing about sanctuary cities was a lot more fun when he was talking about Texas than having to implement it in NY City.
So the formerly "sanctuary city" is now sending a message that goes like this:
“Please consider another city as you make your decision about where to settle in the U.S.,” the flier, published in English and Spanish, suggested.
Yes, I remember when such a message would have been labeled "racist" and "not inclusive".
The problem is money, as the mayor faces a perfect storm. The state's tax revenues are reportedly 20% down and no more money is coming from Washington.
So it's up to New York, New York. The mayor wants to make a brand-new start of it and old New York "sanctuary city" is no more.
