New York Mayor Eric Adams has called for the appointment of a “national czar” to manage the immigration crisis at the U.S.–Mexico border, seemingly unaware that Vice President Kamala Harris already holds that role.

“There must be a national czar,” Adams said at a Jan. 17 press conference held at New York City Hall.
