New York City Mayor Eric Adams said that the city should hire undocumented immigrants to be lifeguards because they're "excellent swimmers." Adams, who previously claimed the massive influx of asylum seekers would "destroy New York City," made the off-color comment during a press conference on Tuesday about lifeguard staffing 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?" Although the strange comment was made in reference to his ongoing push to expedite working permits to fill labor shortages with skilled immigrant workers, it's particularly distasteful given the lengths that many migrants must go through to get to New York City.
