And don't say "you voted for this blah blah blah" and "sanctuary city blah blah blah." Nobody voted to spend millions housing and feeding random migrants. That's not what "sanctuary city" means. Sanctuary city only means that a city isn't going to do the feds' job on immigration control for them.



Yes you did. You voted in nitwits like AOC who are pro this crap. You voted in droves for Biden in NY. You vote for this stuff by sending down loony bin politicians like AOC and then vote for Biden. Maybe try using common sense while voting instead of voting automatically down the ticket party line.

NY is doing many things that are making NY a magnet for illegal migrants.

1. They have a "right to shelter" law which Adams has extended to include migrants. So, NYC is "obligated" to provide housing... at tax payer expense.
2. Hochul wants to give all these migrants work authorization, which would, in turn, allow them to vote in local elections if the law is passed allowing them to do so. Right now, a court has struck that down, but Adams is appealing.
3. Hochul has requested federal funds for more shelters, metrocards, healthcare and SECTION 8 for illegal migrants. All of these would be no cost to migrants.

And, finally, Biden's administration was sending migrants to NYC long before Abbott did.
So, if NY is having problems, they really need to take it up with Biden. Not that he would listen or do anything, but this is all on Biden.


I cannot wait to see when all these kids flood the local schools in NYC.

I must have missed it when AOC passed a bill promising free room and board for illegals. Either post a citation for that bill, or STFU and stop making shit up. "Common sense" does not allow making shit up.


No. She didn't pass a bill. Democrats don't operate that way. They skirt around laws and don't have the time to actually legislate. Instead, they seek other kind of funding to ensure that these people who entered illegally have free housing. Tax payer funding, of course.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez said she’s working with Mayor Adams to apply for more federal housing funds to help the Big Apple address the migrant crisis — but refused to call on President Biden to secure the border and instead welcomed the surge of asylum seekers.

The congresswoman said she’s working with City Hall on applying for grants through the Office of Housing and Urban Development.

“So they are working with that application on emergency housing services. We have a housing crisis in this city. There are many ways we need to respond to it,” Ocasio-Cortez said during a Wednesday night town hall meeting in The Bronx.

“We are in close communication with the mayor’s office and getting the resources necessary. If some states don’t want to do their job on that, that’s fine. But then those federal resources should come to New York City, and those federal dollars should come to places that want to take care of people, and we need that financial support. We are closely monitoring the situation.”

So in other words you're making shit up.

She's talking about resources that were already available - and which were also available to Texas.

In 1981 with Callahan v. Carey and the Legal Right to Shelter. That's when. Throw in the "no person is illegal" and designating NYC a sanctuary city with the New York for All Act that broadly prohibits state and local officers from enforcing federal immigration laws and there you have it.

And yes, all of these laws were put into place by voting in politicians that crafted the laws.


First, that is a court decision, not dem legislation. Second, it's wild that you're blaming AOC for this. In 1981 when this happened, she hadn't even been BORN yet. Note that Biden also had nothing to do with that decision. The depths of right wing delusion and made-up-on-the-spot "facts" are absolutely astounding.

Your tax dollars at work!!!! Instead of using our hard earned money to actually secure the border and deport the people who enter illegally, the left is all about using our tax dollars to house, feed, and provide transportation and other services to those who are in our country illegally.
Screw the homeless! Screw the citizens!

DP. So you both don't automatically vote down the ticket party line for the GOP? Hard to believe that you take your own advice. Also, voting for Trump rather than Biden in the presidential election does not in any way suggest you yourselves possess "common sense."

How do poor southern border towns manage to handle all the migrants and a much larger, affluent place like NYC can’t? Seems like NYC the greatest city in the world needs to shut up and figure the situation out on its own. In fact, it probably should absorb most of the migrants.

It is really, really challenging in the border towns of Texas particularly due to their shortage of doctors.

Many rural places do not have sufficient medical services. How the heck are podunk places going to serve the wave coming across the border on their front doors. Don’t those migrants deserve the best medical treatment our country has to offer - NYC hospitals, Johns Hopkins, Mayo, etc.

Where's AOC giving this same kind of speech on her home turf? Why are immigrants being detained in NYC?



Bluebloods voted for it, now you can enjoy a fraction of the chaos states like NM, AZ, TX get because of it.

Asylees are here legally. They’re permitted entry, and permitted to stay until their case is decided.

Only Congress can change the asylum laws. Republicans are benefiting from everyone blaming this on Biden, and won’t do anything to change the asylum laws.

They're not asylees. They're just gamers at exploiting stupid loopholes in our system who say magic words to unlock it. The vast majority are economic migrants trying to look for more money and better jobs. On no planet is any country whatsoever required to open their borders to economic migrants.

By “loophole,” you mean they legally applied for asylum?

Only Congress can change the asylum laws. They haven’t done it. Republicans are benefiting from blaming Biden, and Americans don’t know enough about their own laws to call them on it.
