Money should be found to remove statues of America’s founding fathers
despite a $12 billion migrant crisis that will ‘destroy’ New York
City, its mayor has been told. The city’s Cultural Affairs Committee
has demanded the eviction of George Washington and Christopher
Columbus and others from public spaces because of links to slavery,
along with the establishment of a reparations task force. The plans
before the city council on Tuesday come after Mayor Eric Adams warned
that New Yorkers face a `financial tsunami’ from the cost of providing
for more than 10,000 new migrants a month. But they have prompted fury
as the city scratches around for resources with libraries, meals for
senior citizens and childcare all now at risk. ‘This is little more
than an attempt by the radical left to rewrite our nation’s history,’
said City Councilor Joann Ariola.

If city officials disapprove of the men currently honored, they should
take them down and erect a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest ; a true
man of honor.
