The View hosts expressed how unimpressed they are with New York City Mayor Eric Adams's performance recently.
A segment on the TV program was dedicated to Adams's statements on the recent influx of immigrants into the city transported there from Texas. The Democratic mayor predicted the sudden increase in population would "destroy New York City."

Adams has blamed a lack of financial resources for problems aiding the immigrants arriving. Already, the city has received $1.5 billion, but the mayor is asking for $12 billion.
"1.5 billion is nothing to sniff at," host Sunny Hostin said. "I thought this country with its big Statue of Liberty, 'Give me your weak,' and all this, is supposed to be the country that accepts people, and I’m disappointed in Mayor Adams."
"I think New York is finally getting a small taste of what border states have dealt with for decades. This is a Biden problem right now because he’s the president. This was an issue under Trump. It's been an issue for 25-plus years. We’ve not had major immigration reform in decades," Alyssa Farrah-Griffin said. "But here's the thing. My family came through Ellis Island. We’re immigrants from Lebanon. I believe immigration makes the country stronger, but we need legal immigration. We need a system that actually works."

"Well, he wanted the job, so do your job, mayor," Joy Behar said to end the segment.
