He added, "You don’t have the right to be in our city and tarnish the overwhelming number who are here following the rules."
This echoes the New York City mayor's previous remarks made during a Q&A session at an event on Monday.
"The overwhelming amount of migrants that are here, they want to work. I still don’t understand why the federal government’s not allowing them to work," Adams said Monday. "They need to have the right to work like all of us that have come to this country had the ability to do so."

The mayor spoke about some migrants participating in robberies and using mopeds to commit snatch-and-grab stick-ups.
Adams has said before that migrants committing crimes should be handed over to ICE and deported.
