Adams On Taking Care Of 16,000 Migrants Per Month…Federal Gov't Said 'We're Not Going To Do Our Job'

Adams: “And that we would probably get people out of the system faster if we would have done A, B, C and D, that’s the federal government’s job. The federal government said to New York City, 'We’re not gonna do our job. You do our job. You take care of 4,000 people a week, Eric, you and your team.' And so when people look back at this crisis, everyone is looking at us and saying no one did it better than New York. We're almost a victim of our success. They're using our model as the model. And we had to learn it on the job. It was like, there was no blueprint for this. On the job. While buses were rolling in, you know, Camille and Zach and Deputy Mayor Williams‑Isom. We had to learn this while we were flying. We had to fuel while flying."
