Awesome.
Since they are doing so well, he needs to shut up and take care of the migrants. Obviously, they can afford them.

I've asked myself that very same question.
They claim to be a sanctuary for illegal aliens but then complain when they get them. That tells me it was all for show and they don't like it when they have to deal with a mass influx.
If a city is going to claim such a thing then be prepared to handle it. Otherwise don't make that claim.

Bill de Blasio, who ran New York City from 2014 - 2021 did untold damage to that once-great city. Some might remember the terrible New York riots in May and June of 2020. de Blasio actually took the mob's side and criticized police. Then-governor Andrew Cuomo blamed "outsiders", who he claimed were brought in to New York, because "New Yorkers don't behave like that."
As big a disaster as de Blasio was, Eric Adams, the current loon who's running the city, is even worse! Furthermore, Adams has now become a perfect example of leftist logic. Just a year ago, Adams was bragging about NYC as a utopian sanctuary city, where everyone is welcome, because he embraces diversity and inclusiveness. He vowed to stop ICE deportations. He jumped on numerous photo-ops with migrants at the city shelters.
Now he's whning that the illegal immigrants will destroy New York.
Here's a couple more examples of how Adam's mind works:
When an elderly white woman criticized him recently, he said she was a racist. He compared her to a "plantation owner talking to a slave".
Plantation owner remark
Mr. Inclusive calls white police officers "crackers". Adams apologizes for racist remark.
Last year, New Yorkers were getting sick from the horrible odors produced by garbage in the streets. It was a serious issue. Adams held a press conference, and joked about the crisis. He said he spent the morning driving around the city to investigate the odors. I only smell pot!
Yes, this guy is running NYC, one of the world's largest cities, with a budget of $107 billion.

The New York Times reported Friday afternoon that the FBI confiscated several electronic devices belonging to Adams on Monday. The mayor was stopped on the street by agents with a search warrant. After they ordered his security detail to stand aside and stepped into the mayor’s SUV, the agents seized an iPad and at least two cell phones. The devices were later returned to Adams, according to the Times.
On Wednesday, the mayor revealed that he had lawyered up in apparent response to the federal probe, retaining the law firm WilmerHale as legal counsel.
