8:47Now PlayingLudicrous has just been redefined. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has proposed that the city should hire illegal aliens as lifeguards, citing their swimming proficiency. Adams made this controversial remark during a Tuesday press conference addressing lifeguard staffing shortages at NYC public pools and beaches.
"How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards—and the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard?” Adams stated.
This comment is part of Adams' ongoing campaign to expedite work permits for migrants to address labor shortages. However, it has drawn criticism due to the perilous journeys many migrants undertake to reach New York City. Hundreds cross the Rio Grande daily, with an estimated 2,700 having died in nearly three decades, according to Texas Monthly. These deaths are not officially tracked by any U.S. agency.
Illegals currently face a 60-day shelter limit for families and 30 days for individuals. They must wait six months after applying for asylum before they can obtain a work permit. Adams argued that a plan to expedite work permits for critical job shortages could alleviate these issues. "If there was a shortage of food service workers and those who fit that criteria, we’re going to expedite you,” he said. “If you have experience as a nurse and we have a nursing shortage, we would expedite you."
Adams' comments come amid reports from the New York Police Department of a "wave of migrant crime," which has fueled Republican calls for stricter immigration policies. These remarks have also created tension between Adams and the Biden Administration, whose support he needs.
Adams concluded by expressing frustration with bureaucratic hurdles preventing migrants from contributing to the workforce, despite their skills and willingness to work. "We have all these eligible people waiting to work, with the skills we need to do the jobs, but we are unable to allow them to work because bureaucracy is in the way," he said.
