On the other side of the political coin, New York City Mayor Eric Adams seems to be again rolling out the red carpet (what could go wrong?). Adams even said that NYC has had a certain nickname for quite a while:
We call New York City the Port-Au-Prince of America. We feel the pain our Haitian neighbors feel as the situation grows dire.

To the people of Haiti and our own Haitian community here in New York City, know that we stand with you today and always.

Is that really a nickname for New York City?
Who the hell has *ever* called New York City "The Port-Au-Prince of America"?! https://t.co/J67eL465TO

It must be easier to cling to a failed ideology rather than ever admit that ideology has led to devastating consequences.
I think you misheard people calling it the Port-a-potty of America.

Adams might have wanted to first run his post by the NYC Tourism & Travel Board:
Are you barbecuing humans in the Bronx now?
— NotYourJewishMom (@CaffMomREDACTED) March 13, 2024
Do you call it that because it's a shithole?

"New York City -- the Port Au Prince of America." Yeah, run with that advertising slogan, Mayor Adams.
Literally NO ONE calls NYC the Port-Au-Prince of America. pic.twitter.com/AQWJTnmcDO

Well, if any southern states see people arriving illegally from Haiti, at least they know where to send them!
so, we should send any and ALL hatian illegals to you. good idea.

Two minutes ago you were crying about the strain all the illegal immigrants were putting on your city and blaming Texas.

The evolution of the spin is so confusing.
