New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday called for migrants to be allowed to work as lifeguards as the city faces a shortage for the role -- arguing that many are "excellent swimmers."
Adams was asked at a press conference about a lifeguard shortage in the city as Memorial Day nears and with the summer months approaching.
He said the situation could be helped "If we had a migrant and asylum seeker plan that states those jobs that we are…in high demand we could expedite."
"How do we have a large body of people that are in our city, and country, that are excellent swimmers and, at the same time, we need lifeguards -- and the only obstacle is that we won’t give them the right to work to become a lifeguard," he said.
"That just doesn’t make sense."
He listed off other occupations, including food service workers and nurses, where the Big Apple may face shortages.
"We have all these eligible people waiting to work with the skills we need to fill the jobs but we are unable to allow them to work because bureaucracy is in the way," he said. "That just does not make sense."
The city has been grappling with a migrant crisis that has enveloped the city in recent years. Officials recently said that there have been more than 1950,000 migrants who have entered the shelter system since 2022, and more than 65,000 are still in the shelter system.

Any form of working papers so they can vote democrat in local NY elections.
This will likely include drivers licenses and if anybody thinks these illegals who broke into this country will drive sober or keep up with their assigned risk pool $3500+ insurance premiums I have a bridge for sale.
Its also a joke the mayor thinks trespassing criminals from the hills of 3rd world shitholes are good swimmers. This mayor and this Hispanic Pope holding the remote controls both have brain disease.
Wow !
That was hysterical. It proves that dems always get away with being a bunch of racists
Like him I consider myself liberal, open minded, and tolerant. I do have a history of throwing tantrums when someone says something I disagree with. But I really am a very open minded guy. All of my friends, who have the very same views that I have, agree that I am open minded.
Trump has already won the debate #VOTE2024
What a boob! Even dumber than CBS's Maurice Dubois
First six comments from the QAnon drone. It needs psychiatric help.
The Joe Biden of Brooklyn !
Good ole TrumpTurd Adams caught accepting bribes from Billionaires to quash anti-genocide protestors.
No wonder it's Israel first and America last with these corrupt politicians.
Billionaires and AIPAC own America.
Exactly, what Dems can’t stand to see!!
Everyone's a big shot from behind a keyboard.
All is well, Biden is sending him more illegals as we read this.
The Battle for America's Worst Mayor has him in the lead...
Who is popping Cornpop's corn?
Can there be more brain worm problems then we know of ?
Get Stuff Done !
Did he talked over the Pope ?
Swagger Man with no plan is a reflection of his constituents. Dumb as a box of rocks.
Trump’s going to the Bronx! Gonna show ‘em what a computer is!
Typical Democrat voter: "We have mass illegal immigration, high inflation, and war in Europe and the Middle East, but I'm happy because we have abortion up to the moment of birth."
Just because they're wetbacks doesn't mean they can swim
There’s no such thing as reverse racism… racism is racism!!!
Guess they want Cuomo running next time. Thanks Aunt Hillary.
"Did he talked over the Pope ?"
----------------------------
Yes the mayor claimed god talks to and "helps him" on decisions so now the Pope is working him like a remote control for this city.
So now the dummy is a pushbutton dummy controlled by a nut in Rome with lots of $$$$.
The pope also slandered Americans for demanding closed border's and immigration rules. The Pope is also coming to America in November before the election to help Bidon and push open borders, no vetting, everybody welcome, criminals and all!
This nut pope who is surrounded by bulletproof glass, snipers, guards, 20+ foot walls claims get this:
Killers, felons, rapists, terrorists and every other dirtbag under the sun are "all children of god" innocent pilgrims just looking for a better life.
What bullshit, nothing but pure insanity!!

Good Post JQ. Thanks!
If George Carlin was still with us, he'd be watching The Jimmy Dore Show and reading Queens Crap.
“They’re not sending their best”
Please don't close my Red Lobster !
It’s time for Hochul and Eric to apologize to the hardworking citizens they continue to alienate with their elitist offensive rhetoric.
The press conference was unwatchable, tried and ended up watching Green Acres instead!
So do space aliens use standard or metric ?
Imagine if Trump said this stuff. There would be a media meltdown
Mayor Adam’s may not know what a computer is but he knows immigrants can swim.
I'm Kathy Hochul, and I'm here to help.
Just what we need 170 thousand lifeguards.
Good saved the tax payers money.
It’s alright once you get past the…you know…the thing…
C’mon, man!
