Republican Mayor of Miami Francis Suarez praised his Democratic New York City counterpart, Mayor Eric Adams, for being outspoken on how the influx of illegal immigrants is impacting Adams’s jurisdiction.

“I’m actually quite proud of Mayor Adams from New York for standing up and talking about how this is impacting the city of New York,” Suarez said in an interview with CBS News’s “Face The Nation” on Sunday. “I mean, he has to focus on crime reduction and instead, you know, you see images of police officers helping people in the classic Roosevelt Hotel find housing. And so, you know, these officers should be—and you'd want them to be—focused on reducing crime and instead, have to deal with this migrant crisis which, as you’ve said, should be a federal issue.”
