“We need to examine them and see what is my authority, using executive orders, to ensure that I keep New Yorkers safe. That’s my only goal. I cannot make any clearer. In pursuing that goal, my years and years of advocating for immigrants that are here and attempting to find the American dream, if that demonizes me, then I’m going to take it. But I’m going to save lives in this city,” he stated.
The mayor criticized the ones he stated have tried to forged him as switching his place on unlawful immigration.

“People are trying to push their own agenda. I have one agenda. I’ve never lied about the agenda,” he stated. “Everybody, everyone in this city should be protected and should not be the victims of violent crimes. And that was a conversation I had with the incoming border czar. We shared that same belief, and we’re going to pursue that same belief.”
