Mayor Eric Adams has once again ignited controversy with his latest comments on the city’s lifeguard shortage. The mayor has suggested that illegal immigrants could be the solution to New York City’s staffing woes, specifically because “they’re excellent swimmers.”
This eyebrow-raising connection was made by Mayor Adams during a City Hall briefing when pressed about the challenges facing the city’s beaches and pools. With Memorial Day approaching and no clear resolution in sight, Adams proposed expediting migrant work visas for these critical roles.
“How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, our country, that are excellent swimmers and at the same time we need lifeguards —

The Kingfish obviously was aware that illegal aliens are called wet backs. Ergo, they are good swimmers.
His logic is impressive, doncha think?

Well, they did manage to across the Rio Grand River to illegally enter the country. I suppose some swimming might have been involved in doing that.

OMG, this sounds like an opening line on SNL. All we needed him to do was to call them "wetbacks".

Really? I've known people who lived on islands that haven't the faintest idea how to even doggie-paddle.
NYC mayor once again demonstrates what a moron looks like.

Well, it wouldn’t be hard to find cholos who’d be happy to hang around where women and little girls are in swimwear.
On the other hand (seriously), where I live, these immigrants are prone to drowning in the swimming areas at the local reservoir/campground. By wading into an unexpected deep spot where neither they or their friends can save them.

Have these life guard applicants passed the test to become certified life guards?
Do they speak English well enough for people to understand them?
Are they able to get to work on time?
Will they look at the swimmers more than they look at their phones?

could he be referring to this joke i just heard--very old--mocking the LA Olympics-to prove the silly season is here:
the Govt of Mexico did not send a team to the Olympics, because everybody who can run, jump, or swim,
is already here.
yes, the joke is real by all counts. merely witnessing the NYC gov't in action makes ppl realise:
you don't know whether to laugh or cry

Check box on the job application for NYC Lifeguard: Swam across the Rio Grande River. If I said something like this, I'd end up in Gitmo.

All videos of these illegals crossing the Rio Grande show them walking, not swimming across. They walk in a line as a team, tied to each other with ropes. NYC mayor, take note. Can these people pass a Red Cross swim test? Doubtful.

Adams is even more stupid than he lets on. One trip across the Rio Grande does not make a good swimmer, especially when most of them could wade across at the shallow crossings. Try swimming a mile in the ocean like some of us Navy guys had to do. So they lose a child or two to drowning, they can always make more.
