what the fukk is smugly touting that you're a sanctuary city, if not "asking for it"?
will he be retracting that bragging? or maybe...STOP being a sanctuary city? the only thing you can criticize a democrat for around here, is not being far left enough

i've explained what a sanctuary city is including citing sources but you seem dead-set on sticking to your own definition of what it is.
From everything I've seen he's been asking the federal government for more funds to support housing illegal immigrants.what the fukk is smugly touting that you're a sanctuary city, if not "asking for it"?

If the federal government can't help with those funds then he wants the stymie the flow of asylum seekers to the US.
To make a loose comparison, you're argument is like saying Quakers would be hypocrites by asking for the end of slavery because they offered sanctuary to runaway slaves.
I'm not sure you even understand what being a sanctuary city means.
This. Dude trying to make sanctuary cities something they aren't.
I'm not a far leftist by any stretch, but even most of those folks believe that the US could solve the illegal immigration and mass asylum problems by changing foreign policy instead of just by force.

He argued that Abrams is a hypocrite because New York is a sanctuary city (doesn't arrest/deport/report illegal immigrants), but also wants the federal government to address the migrant issue at the border.His argument is nothing like that.

Eric Adams is doing exactly what Abbot is doing.
Claims his city is full. Claims immigration is putting mayors against each other. Claims immigrants are asking for bus rides out of the city. Claims he needs federal help. Doesn’t have enough beds. Doesn’t have enough beds for actually homeless New Yorkers. Calls it a national problem.
Bu by bu bu they wanted to go to Canada! They asked! Did you read the article?
Some migrants bused to Canada already heading back to NYC
Overrun by asylum-seeking migrants sent to the city from southern border states, New York has been offering free bus tickets to the Canadian border for migrants wanting to start a new life up north…

Hmmm.. sounds like they were lied to in Texas about NY. Then lied to in NY about Canada.
At least Adams uses hotels for immigrants right?
This is incorrect. Abbot banned sanctuary cities int he state of Texas. NYC is still a sanctuary city.
- What is Senate Bill 4 (SB 4)?
Answer: SB 4 is a law that was passed by the Texas Legislature in 2017 and signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott. It is sometimes called the Sanctuary Cities Bill, because its goal is to outlaw so-called “sanctuary cities” by forbidding local law enforcement agencies from adopting policies that prevent a peace officer from asking about a person’s immigration status. Additionally, if federal immigration authorities ask, the police departments must cooperate with them to enforce federal immigration law.
I think we can stop here with your false equivalence since it's entire premise is faulty.

That all sounds good breh. The Mayor of NYC wants Texas to stop sending immigrants. The COUNTRY of Canada wants NYC to stop sending immigrants.
There's a difference between a seat actually being taken and just saying "seats taken."

Who says woke more often? Abbot or Adams?

We can criticize Abrams policies without resorting to hyperbole.
In fact there's an entire thread where folks do just that.
Abrams isn't a great policymaker and comes across as blatantly corrupt along with many other flaws.
But we don't have to pretend his policies are something they aren't. Or even worse pretend that Abbott, DeSantis, and Adams are all pushing the exact same policies because they all are pushing for federal action on immigration.
