Night-Mayor Adams argued for allowing unauthorized immigrants to work in the US by saying that they could fill New York City's lifeguard shortage.

I see no racism in that statement. (By the way, Adams is black; for most political issues that makes no difference, but in regard to whether his statements express racism it might be pertinent.)

It is true that only a small fraction of unauthorized immigrants reach the US by swimming, or by water at all. His words may have suggested otherwise; if so, that was inaccurate. But perhaps he did not intend that implication. His words say that many of them say they can swim.

Anyway, if he was serious rather than sarcastic about the political suggestion of allowing them to work, I think we can pardon that inaccurate possible point.
