IMMIGRATION

NY Daily News -  []NYC] Mayor Adams said Tuesday that he is open to the possibility of deporting migrants charged, not just convicted, with crimes, saying people who entered the country illegally aren’t entitled to the same rights as citizens. Asked during a Tuesday press briefing about how his own legal situation affects his view on migrants, Adams —facing felony corruption and bribery charges in federal court — said the rights he has are not the same as someone who “snuck” into the country.

“I’m an American,” Adams said. “Americans have certain rights. The Constitution is for Americans, and I’m not a person that snuck into this country… What rights I have, the person that decides to shoot the police officer, they should not have those same rights. Okay? That’s my position.”
