Is this any way for a sanctuary city to behave?
Mayor Eric Adams is heading to Central and South America this week to convince migrants not to come to the Big Apple — as the city preps for a possible record-breaking surge in new asylum seekers, well-placed sources say.
City Hall announced Hizzoner’s international trip Monday, billing the four-day journey as a chance to foster relations with local leaders in migrant hot spots and learn more about the path of asylum seekers.
The mayor will start his tour south of the border in Mexico City on Wednesday before heading to the nearby town of Puebla — where many Mexican migrants in New York City have traditionally been from — and eventually Quito, the capital of Ecuador.
On his final day, Adams will go to Bogotá, Colombia, and Darién Gap, where many asylum seekers pass through on their way north.
But sources with knowledge of the trip told The Post that its underlying goal is to use local news coverage as a media blitz to talk migrants out of coming to New York City.
