On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Alex Wagner Tonight," Congressional Progressive Caucus Chair Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) stated that "it's just unfortunate" that New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) said some of the same things as 2024 Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump about migrants and immigration, Trump's argument "is a horrible one around migrants, around immigration." And "that is not who New York is. New York is defined by the contributions of immigrants to the city of New York. this is the place, the Statue of Liberty."
