This is so xenophobic. I can’t believe Jeff has not deleted this disgusting thread.

These are human beings we are talking about.

I live in NYC. Believe me, these people are adding nothing. They have no capacity to earn a living to survive in a very expensive city. They have no business being here. FWIW I'm a registered Dem who will be voting for Harris. Trump is all bark and no bite.

Yay! Limousine liberal! How great! Funny how so many Guatemalans here in DC and around work all the time, in every single job. They seem to have a vast capacity. I just saw them working on a neighbor's house, and I took their number so they could help me fix my house. Oh, and that Pakistani restaurant in Arlington? Hispanics, and my El Salvador friend told me they are from Guatemala, BCS. You know she took the time to talk to the..... HELP! They are building every new construction in MoCo. They work at stores, and oh, no, for the Federal Government too! They are harder working than you, and willing to work. In the meantime, you are probably unemployed, and advocating for WFH.

Over 200,000 people have come to New York City over the past two years. We do not have the capacity to absorb all these people. No one can survive in NYC collecting cans out of the trash. As someone who was just in DC in the springtime, you do not have the same kind of migrant issues that we do. There’s just no comparison. In addition, I had my first job at seven years old and I’ve worked really hard all my life. I am fully employed and a valued employee at my job. Over the past couple of years, my employer has gradually reduced our WFH to twice a month so I’m in the office nearly every day of the month. I don’t mind going into the office at all. When my kids were younger, the foreign-born nannies of their peers would approach my mother and tell her how friendly I am, but thanks for playing, a-hole…

Did anyone tell you that you should just shut up?

NYC is planning on spending about 4.5 billion per year for the next 2 years Just on migrant housing!!!! This is not even for healthcare, education!

How can NYC afford this?

What’s the plan when they get another 100k migrants coming in the next few years.

Yeah, but now you can find someone on thumbtack to fix your toilet for $40 instead of going to Len the Plumber for $1,000.

Yes, some people don't need anything more than to realize they are that stupid and racist, they need to shut up. Explaining to such people why they need to shut up is pointless.

“In many cases, NYC spent taxpayer funds for [hotel rooms for migrants] that were never used. In Rockland County, the city’s primary migrant-services contractor, DocGo, billed the city $833,340 for 4,902 vacant rooms over 61 nights."

I am a NYC teacher. I am livid. My taxes are going to this. Yet we never get a raise of more than a few percent even with record inflation. I am liberal but I am pissed off, and this is not ok.

Until New Yorkers decide what’s most important to them as taxpayers and vote in a new mayor and new governor, this will continue for years. The politicians you elect will continue pulling money out of your wallet and handing it to the migrants. You are not important to your elected leaders. They have other ambitions they would kindly like you to step aside and shut up.

It is how you vote. We had a secure border when the GOP was in charge.

The illegal aliens are tracked on free cell phones given to them by ICE at the border. They have to check in once a month on the cell phones. (This excludes the gotaways that did not get the free tracking device cell phones.)

We've helped a Colombian illegal alien who my sister found in a US airport. She got him on track to get a social security number. After 7 months from crossing the Rio Grande River he now has a US social security number and can work legal jobs. The first 7 months he could only work illegal cash jobs.

He still has to check in once a month to ICE on the free government paid for cell phone tracking device.

Except for the "gotaways" the government knows where all of the illegals are staying due to the cell phone tracking devices.

This is so racist and demeaning. Some of these migrants were medical students in socialist Venezuela who now see no need to go to school or work at all since this stupid country is giving them free shelter, free money just for showing up. I’ve said this before but it’s all a way for Dems to cheat their way to a new voter base because Gen Z and Democrat black and white Americans are record numbers of childless and they’re needing immigrants especially Latinos to become the new face. Enter Pres AOC and giving 20 million illegals citizenship in the USA

[Anonymous]

Could you imagine someone who doesn’t know a lick of English becoming a U.S. citizen and able to take command to fight in a war or serve on a jury and decide on Americans’ fate?

Have you asked them if they were illegal or are you just assuming? They probably were here for many years. They have jobs, they have homes, they pay rent. They do not live at a shelter. You are the one being racist here and assuming all Latinos you see that work hard are illegal or border hoppers. No, they copy the Republican mindset: work hard and devote to family and guess what? They don’t like the migrants neither. They don’t like these crazy Venezuelan and other new migrants who think living in shelters and harassing people on bikes all day is a good thing. They think they give Latinos a bad name

Wow! Accusing me of being racist, when you are ranting about illegals and making assumptions! OMG! Who said they are illegals? In your sick mind clearly. Why are you so angry? Is it bcs you don't have empathy? Are they stealing your job?
Imagine you accusing me of being racist and then writing, "These crazy Venezuelan and other new migrants think ....." Now you know what Latinos think too.

Migrants literally came to the border illegally and were called newcomers by the Biden/Harris administration.

They Virtue signaled with the Us border. Just to play politics and destroyed the biggest city in the US and two countries (the U.S. and Mexico’s) security. Mexicans wants Trump back!! Think about that for a moment. This is something serious: life and death. Can you imagine how many poor migrant women and kids were raped or kidnapped by the cartels before even making it to the US, and how much Fentanyl/drugs killed many Americans or led to increased drug, sex, and human trafficking crime? This is all on the Bidens administration’s hands. All of it.

All of the girls and women who died from rape either here or in Mexico thanks to criminals getting a new enterprise won’t be able to come back. When you allow lawlessness and encourage it, chaos spreads and criminals exploit innocent people. I am sure some migrants in the US are still getting exploited via these phones and have to send money back to the cartels as payment for bringing them over to the US.

Need to update PP's post to this...because yes, I agree that Biden and the entire Dem administration destroyed immigration. And we are not talking just "Mexico" -- it's not just Mexicans crossing illegally into the US anymore - because it's become so easy other nationalities have caught on and are coming in through our southern borders. Although not all...many are not like the immigrants from the 70s, 80s, or even 90s....who came here to work hard and make something of themselves. Now you arrive and you get free everything, including healthcare -- trust me I know. Now...I am first generation and my parents suffered and worked hard....but never once took a free handout, never went on welfare or medicaid. So when I see the overflow of immigrants/asylum seekers given free this and that...which for maybe the first 30 days in the country is fine....I'm sorry, call me cold hearted but that's gotta stop.

Why can't Biden just grant them amnesty like Reagan? The GOP loves Reagan so amnesty must be a good solution.

Most moonbats have black and white thinking and can’t see the bigger picture.

Conservatives like Reagan but don’t have to like everything he did. They hammer him in that decision now and they did back then.

They should be deported as far as I’m concerned

Bush also gave them amnesty. Point being: Those Rs realized that the cat was out of the bag, and the best you could do was manage it by letting them stay, get jobs and pay taxes.

This has been stated numerous times: these people come here because they know that people will give them jobs. Let's remember that business owners and executives tend to lean right. Even Trump's hotels use illegal immigrant labor.

And they do so because the consequence for hiring illegal immigrants is not enough of a deterrent. It's just a slap on the wrist.

Kill the demand, and you will kill the supply.

Sorry. We are not allowing the millions of migrants who Biden/Harris let in stay in the US.
Not when there are millions more who are trying to come in the legal way.
They are not all coming for jobs. Too many are coming for the freebies the US offers illegals. Look at where they are going - to cities that have right to shelter laws and food cards for migrants.
And, we also have the hundreds of thousands of migrants that fraudulently came here on the CHNV parole program. Deport them all.

The program has been used by the Biden admin to bring more than 500,000 Venezuelans, Cubans, Haitians, & Nicaraguans into the U.S. via direct flights. The reports found significant fraud in sponsor applications, including:

“100,948 forms were filled out by 3,218 serial sponsors -- those whose number appears on 20 or more forms. It also found that 24 of the 1,000 most used numbers belonged to a dead person. Meanwhile, 100 physical addresses were used between 124 and 739 times on over 19,000 forms. Those addresses included storage units. One sponsor phone number was submitted on over 2,000 forms, and there were 2,839 forms with non-existent sponsor zip codes.”

Most come here for jobs, period. They don't want to live in shelters forever. They want jobs.

https://www.cbsnews.com/boston/news/massachusetts-migrants-work-authorization-jobs/

Nearly half of the 1600 individuals they support have found work. "They want to be able to work to support family, not sleep in a shelter, they want to find the American dream," said La Colaborativa Chief Operating Officer Dinanyili Paulino. ccording to the Healey administration, in the last five months more than 3,500 new arrivals have been assisted with work authorizations, 626 living in shelters have found jobs, and over 1,000 are enrolled in language classes. After pressure on the Biden Administration work authorizations now take only months instead of years.

It made all the difference for Doublenska Merina and Ledna Fermont who arrived in Massachusetts from Haiti last July, got their work papers by November and found jobs assisting developmentally disabled residents at Thrive Support Advocacy in Marlboro, which has recently hired 25 migrants.

The organization like many others in human services had a 25 to 30% vacancy rate, but it is now close to being totally staffed for the first time in a decade. "All of us are looking for creative ways to address staffing shortages," said CEO Sean Rose. "We were very intentional about doing everything we could to say how can we do this."

Don't tell me that there are tons of real Americans waiting in line to work with disabled people for minimum pay. And before you say, well they should pay more then real Americans would want those jobs -- those centers are largely run by NGO with grants from the government. So, if you want to raise taxes so that real Americans can get those wonderful jobs helping disabled people, then vote D.

And tell me, how much do the executives of these NGO's make off the tax payers? Because it is an open secret these are money mills at the expense of the taxpayer. There is a reason the execs make $300k while they pay illegal aliens $7.25/hour

Pay aids that are citizens $25-$30/hour and those jobs will be filled with citizens that don't have much education or training, but now make a living wage.

ok, so you agree that we need regulation to control exec pay, that it should not be higher than x% of the lowest paid worker?

I'm for that. I'm not sure Trump would be.

NP. I think that for registered nonprofits, the execs shouldn’t be allowed to earn more than x% above the median salary in the country. Private companies are completely different but nonprofits should have regulations so execs aren’t walking away with so much taxpayer money.

I hope the border states find the money to send every one of the migrants to NYC!

Everything Democrats try to do ends up a disaster. You start with false premises, add shoddy leadership, and you end up with yet another $hit show. Afghanistan withdrawal, urban public schools, woke colleges, electric vehicles, no-cash bail, trans kids, trans athletes, DEI choices for VP and college presidents, and the peak of their insanity: sanctuary cities.

Well, you can’t fix stupid.

NP. What is stupid about this? Do you live in NYC? I live in Manhattan. I've started seeing migrant families every day, sitting and begging in absolutely pathetic circumstances because they cannot feed or take care of themselves. NYC is one of the most expensive cities in the world. These migrants don't speak English, and generally resort to earning money to support themselves by (i) panhandling, (ii) selling candy on or in the subway system with their children, or (iii) scavenging cans from public trash cans. There's been an exponential increase on the streets of single men, women, and families sitting on the streets begging.

It really hurts me to see hungry kids, so when I can, I'll buy the families a meal. There's one woman who sits half a block away from my Midtown Whole Foods with her two small children (2 and 4, maybe?) all day, in the summer heat, with a sign asking for food. The other day I stopped into the WF and bought them 3 slices of pizza, 2 waters, and a box of strawberries and it cost $21. Obviously there are cheaper places to get a meal than Whole Foods, but that's pretty indicative of prices in this city. It's a HCOL city. Putting aside the policy question of whether we should be allowing migrants in the way we are, it's pretty logical and obvious that these migrants (generally poor foreigners with zero formal education or English language skills, often with small children to support) shouldn't be encouraged to come to NYC. It's not a place that you can support yourself easily as a newcomer with nothing, and that means NYC taxpayers are on the hook for you. I'm all for paying taxes, but I agree that the way NYC has to spend to keep up with this is too much.
