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.
