Eric Adams warned of an impending crisis due to the influx of migrants, claiming it would "destroy New York City" if not managed properly. His insistence on accountability from community leaders underscored the gravity of the situation he perceived.
Despite his dire forecasts and proposed cuts to vital city services, including pre-K funding and police academy classes, New York ended up with a surplus of $3 billion, surprising many who followed Adams' initial warnings.
The mayor's predictions of a migrant crime wave failed to materialize, countering claims from his police commissioner, as the city managed to incorporate 34,000 migrant children into its schools amidst ongoing challenges.
While Adams called the migrant situation a 'tidal wave,' the reality proved different, encouraging some to question his approach and suggesting that indeed, the crisis was more manageable than anticipated.
