"During his media availability today, the mayor continued to scapegoat migrants arriving in our city for his own failure to support policies that benefit New Yorkers. He denigrated immigrants and non-citizens as unworthy of basic rights. His rhetoric is as dangerous to our city as his leadership has been harmful.
"The mayor has misled the city for years about the cost of aiding asylum seekers, but the cost of his misinformation is clear. Longtime New Yorkers should know that if leaders like this mayor supported the policies, he now blames migrants for preventing, those leaders could have advanced them long before the first buses arrived. The money to fund these programs was there, the mayor's support wasn’t. We cannot allow people like the mayor to mislead and divide us on these issues. With the looming danger of the Trump presidency, and the mayor choosing to mimic rather than condemn it, we have to stand together to defend both the New Yorkers who have little and the ones who have less."
