They enter the country illegally.
They have criminal records.
They are caught shoplifting from a Target in NYC.
Two of them beat up on the responding police officers.

Then, they are released with NO BAIL!
What in the hell is wrong with this country?????

A crew of Venezuelan migrants with rap sheets allegedly pounced on New York’s Finest after getting caught red-handed stealing from an Upper East Side Target — and most of them are now back on the streets.

Four of the five repeat offenders busted in the brazen April 2 crime — which sent one cop to the hospital — were released without bail by a Manhattan judge, according to court records and law-enforcement sources.

The thieves left a trail of destruction as they grabbed a backpack from a shelf, cut off its security tag and then moved “from aisle to aisle” stuffing it with goods — including a gaming light, tools and assorted grub such as Fruit Loops, Frosted Flakes, Doritos, strawberries and bottled waters, according to sources and a criminal complaint.

When responding cops from the NYPD’s 19th Precinct stopped the shoplifters in their tracks, two of the suspects — Yusneiby Machado, 23, and Brayan Freites, 21 — wrestled, shoved, slapped and pushed them in an attempt to resist, according to sources.

The wild struggle left one officer with swelling, redness and pain on his left arm, cops said.

He was taken to a local hospital, where he was treated and released.

Another suspect — who has not been caught — tried to throw rocks at the officers, but they were not struck, sources said.

Both Machado and Freites were charged with robbery, assault, resisting arrest, obstructing governmental administration, criminal possession of stolen property, disorderly conduct and harassment, cops said.

They were arraigned before Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Jay Wiener — and treated with kid gloves.

Machado was cut loose without bail under supervised release, despite a request from prosecutors that she be held on $10,000 bail.

Prosecutors asked that Freites be held on $10,000 bail or a $30,000 bond, and Wiener ordered him held on $3,000 bail or a $9,000 bond.

He was still at Rikers Island on Tuesday.

Their alleged partners in crime, Sebastian Jaramillio, 22, Michael Sanchez, 31, and Henry Zambrano, 19, were also arrested and charged by cops with robbery and disorderly conduct, police said.

All three — who lived at the Ward’s Island shelter, per sources — were later arraigned on petit larceny and possession of stolen property charges and released without bail.

A bit of a reality check for all the deniers…

It’s the largest city in America. Statistically it’s likely there will be terrible crimes from time to time, but anybody who has spent time there is well aware that, aside from some clouds of weed smoke and some homeless people, most of whom have no interest in passerby, it’s a remarkably clean and safe city.

A NYPost article about depraved people doing terrible things in a metro area with tens of millions is no more indicative of what nyc is like than a story about hillbillies lynching a minority is an indictment of rural America.

Where is Eric Adams putting most of the migrants these days? Still into hotels?

If a certain party would let them work they wouldn't have to be put anywhere, they'd get their own places.

How much do you need to earn to live in NYC (without their monster rats)?

There are millions of working-class folks in NYC doing just fine. You can't buy a condo in manhattan, but literally millions of low-skilled or non-english speaking people happily work and live in NYC. And a lot of the migrants currently flooding in are not low-skilled and they do speak English. The vast majority could house themselves if they were allowed to work. Those that couldn't work could be managed.

If another party would take the security of our country seriously and enforce the border laws we currently have, these people would not be here to begin with and we would not be footing the bill for their housing, food, and basic needs.

oh good lord I live in NYC and it's not a 'hellhole'. I have not stepped in poop that I can remember. There is a homelessness problem and a drug problem among that population but that is nothing new. It is NYC ffs! It's the biggest city in america, one of the biggest cities in the world and it's insanely crowded.
I do agree that the last few mayors, current one included, suck. But that does not mean nyc is a 'hellhole'. Nyc is still arguably the most important city in the world and the heartbeat of finance, media and culture. You dont get that title by being the city version of j crew.

pp here - that IS a problem. We earn high six figures and we can't upsize from our 2 bedroom condo without going to bk, which would be fine but the commute is actually a little brutal. commute from burbs also brutal. You cannot buy a nice 3 bedroom in manhattan for less than $4m and on top of that, more than $7k in monthly maintenance and tax. And bear in mind there are a lot of apartments so that means we live among a swathe of incredibly high net worth individuals competing for real estate. Can be stressful.

Immigrants, yes.

ILLEGAL immigrants, hell no. Don't conflate the two.

Why are you - and the Biden administration - so anxious to make the citizens of our country at risk by allowing in millions - yes, MILLIONS - of illegal immigrants, most of whom we know NOTHING about? Why are you so willing to put citizens of this country second to people who break our laws and enter illegally?

Umm... I'll just let your words hang there. How embarrassing that you actually believe this, much less say it.

Exactly. You won't get an answer though. At least, not one that makes any sense.
