His rash decision to take in as many as 75,000 foreign migrants was an unforced error that threatens to dominate his mayoralty and demote combating crime to a second-tier consideration.<\/p>\n<p>This is not exactly a replay of Nero fiddling while Rome burns, but there is a whiff of smoke.

Long after The Post reported that Biden was secretly shipping migrants to the region, Adams turned all his venom on Republican Gov. Greg Abbott of Texas for sending mere busloads of them to Gotham.\u00a0<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>In another contradiction to a principled motivation, Adams agreed to take thousands of migrants from the Dem mayor of El Paso, Texas.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>None of this makes any sense.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As a result, of the 16,600 migrants in the city now, only about 20% came from Abbott\u2019s shuttles.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Although Adams has asked the feds for a whopping $500 million to care for the migrants, he has gotten zilch.
