Curtis Sliwa Pulls No Punches With NYC Mayor Adams

Curtis Sliwa has been locking horns with NYC Mayor Adams and calling him out for having no plan when it comes to the flood of illegal migrants. Sliwa is fighting Adams to prevent relocation of migrants to taxpayer funded parks and other publicly-owned properties in NYC. In a recent interview I did with Curtis, he extolled as only he can do, “If you are an illegal alien yourself you would think you hit Powerball and Lotto. Who would have ever thought you could come from North Africa…fly across the Atlantic Ocean, land in Mexico City, work your way up to the border and the next thing you know you make it across from Juarez to El Paso. Catholic Charities meets you there, and it’s like Vanna White from Wheel of Fortune; where do you wanna go? We’ll pay for you; we’ll give you money and the migrants are like “You're kidding.” Curtis went on, “They are the most surprised. We are surprised because we have to pay for this nonsense, but the illegal aliens can’t believe not only how easy it is to get into the country, but we have everything paid for you, lock, stock and barrel.”

Few have the “chutzpah” and resolve to stand up for the people of New York like Curtis Sliwa. The Guardian Angels founder went from managing a McDonalds in the Bronx in the 1970s to advocating for the people of New York on crime and quality of life issues. Curtis, in his unique ability to paint a picture, says of the wave of illegal migrants, “They have instantaneous contact with everyone back in their country of origin so they can photobomb, the can Facebook Live, and people back there can see and say ‘Oh my God, You’re in what? ‘Times Square’, the gateway to the world?’ referring to the ease at which people can come here without the long wait to get here legally.”

My cohost at Real Americas Voice News Ben Bergquam recently documented on film that almost everyone coming across the border at illegal entry locations were either from Senegal, Ghana or other African countries, not Mexico or Central America. They all had cell phones and almost all were single working-age young men and acted like they were out for a Sunday stroll across the border, hardly “refugees” from war-torn countries.

I will never forget an interview I did with a CPB agent at the border in New Mexico. She said there is a game afoot, people come here illegally from other countries knowing that they won’t have a hearing for many years and then won’t show up to them. They start collecting money for food and housing right away, as opposed to coming her legally through the visa process where they can only stay for a year.

Agree with him or not, Curtis Sliwa has been on the forefront of almost every major issue affecting New Yorkers for four decades. On his WABC Radio show he recalled how in 1992, the Mafia, in a failed assassination attempt, shot him nine times and he said he is unafraid of anything Mayor Adams or anyone else can throw at him.

When I asked Sliwa if there was anyone standing in the way of Adams’ plans to flood the rest of New York State with illegal migrants, he continued, “The only person to have been able to preemptively stop illegals from being exported from New York City is former NYPD colleague of Adams and Rockland County Executive, Ed Day, who was able to get a court order to block the NYC Mayor from sending busloads of illegals into Rockland County, and in retaliation Adams played the race card and called Ed Day a racist.” Curtis explained that Mayor Adams “Will do anything to attack anyone in his way” and recounted that when Gov. Abbott of Texas invited him to the border and asked Mayor Adams to join with him and take their argument to D.C., Adams dismissed him and accused the Governor of racist policies as the buses have continued to roll into New York, a sanctuary state.

Sliwa called Mayor Adams “The Swagger Man with No Plan” and is “flying from the seat of his pants” and “one day it’s to put up a tent, the next day it’s to take over recreational centers, the next day it’s we are going to take over the Trump golf course in the Bronx because it’s city land.” Curtis maintains that communities have to preemptively get together and fight and protest as they were able to stop the Mayor on relocating 1,000 migrants in a “tent city” at the Creedmoor psychiatric facility in Queens.
