Let me tell you how welcoming New York was to my formerly enslaved ancestor who fought in the Union Army during the Civil War. The family bible records Huma beating death at the hands of ruffians or how welcome my DH’s parents were when the arrived from Dominica in the 1960s and directed to the bus station to get out of town. New York has welcomed people primarily for tye economic benefit they brought. Now the economic benefit is $1B |

This is federal government's doing, immigration is needed but as a steady and planned supply. You get as many as you can accommodate and spread them to places where they can be most beneficial and prosperous.
Federal government should get to just keep open borders and then expect border states to take the burden. Immigrants can't pick and choose which city or state they prefer, they go where need and resources are. Its not human trafficking, its planning and logistics. |
dp.. c'mon PP. We are talking about today, not something that happened 60 or 160 years ago. Let. It. Go. NYC is a melting pot, of all SES. |
No. Look it up. Easy to google it. There's a difference between "wanting" them vs "providing some humanitarian aid if they get there". The US doesn't "want" refugees from Ukraine, but we will provide some with refugee status if they come here seeking refugee status. |
Sanctuary city generally means that undocumented migrants in custody are not released to ICE for deportation proceedings in compliance with a civil detainer request. The principle is that local law enforcement resources are to be put to better use, namely, addressing crime. |
Yes because arresting those who are violating federal immigration statutes isn’t considered “addressing crime” in your pea sized brain. Go take your anti depressants, your mental illness is showing on the inter webs. |
So not doing anything for anyone is being a sanctuary city? |
Says the person who never lived in NYC. Then why are so many of the neighborhoods segregated along racial and ethnic lines. |
Crime caused by the other migrants in the city |
It’s trendy to declare an “emergency” because then federal taxpayer programs can bail you out, not your own mismanagement. Sadly it depletes funds for real emergencies. The pro-illegal immigration NGOs are very well funded and are already massively helping the entire chain of migration and final destination in USA. |
Oh come on. They already phony-asylum country shopped their way through Central America and Mexico, what’s a few more 2000 miles to the well-resources sanctuary city of their choice? You know the ones with their “cousins” who have a (black market) “job” and fake ID ready for them. |
It’s also means there is a critical mass of the same ethnic illegal immigrants plus resources and systems in place - in the hospitals, in the public schools, church donations and friends & families who funded the migration are already there. Like Los Angeles and Montgomery County. The two most requested final destinations of southern border illegals. Casa de Maryland is doing well. |
Big Immigration! Like Catholic Charities? And NYC doesn’t suddenly get federal taxpayer funding because they say “beetlejuice” three times. Where do you get this nonsense? |
| Great network effect too. |
That’s everywhere in the world. Why would I want to go to a school or place of worship or new community not with my own people? Sheesh. Thats why immigrants love their enclaves. No need to know English either. |
