How many migrants are you housing?[/quote]

I worked at the boarder with unaccompanied minor which to me was not a sacrifice it was an honor that I was place in my life I could greet and house children covered in scars, dirt and lice.

Many came to the boarder after hurricanes with the death certificate of their parent trying to get to an American citizen Aunt so they could live with family.

They were 3-17 years old.

It’s not easy to get certified to have a family live with you, you literally can’t travel for work as much as I do.

Luckily my work had a program to do a volunteer sabbatical.

I don’t expect everybody to drop their lives for 30, 60, 90 days to help immigrants. I just expect them not to hope for them to die instead of giving them asylum..[/quote]

I think it’s great that you were able to do that work, and I think everyone would be okay with an orphaned minor moving to the US to live with an American citizen relative.  That’s very different than the migrants who require full support to the point that NYC is spending $1,500,000,000 every year on their room and board. And that’s just NYC. [/quote]

Facts, Not Fear: How Welcoming Immigrants Benefits New York City
January 4, 2024

https://comptroller.nyc.gov/reports/facts-not-fear-how-welcoming-immigrants-benefits-new-york-city/

Conservative estimates have found that a 10% reduction in asylum seekers in one year would be a $8.9 billion loss[9] to the U.S. economy and over $1.5 billion in lost tax revenue over five years.

Undocumented immigrants[10] support economic growth, pay taxes, and keep our city and economy running as essential workers.

Although they are ineligible for Social Security, Medicaid, and most public benefits, undocumented immigrants help sustain[11] these vital entitlement programs by contributing billions of dollars into Social Security[12] and billions more into local, state, and federal taxes.

In 2021, undocumented immigrants contributed[13] $30.8 billion in total taxes nationally, including $18.6 billion in federal income taxes and $12.2 billion in state and local taxes.

In New York State, undocumented immigrants paid[14] $3 billion in taxes.
Undocumented immigrants make up approximately 3.2 percent of the U.S. population, but 4 percent[15] of the country’s workforce.

Undocumented immigrants are the backbone of many vital industries across New York. 70% of undocumented workers in New York are essential workers.[16]

If they are doing so well, they can pay for their own housing and their own food. Until that happens, the system isn’t working. [/quote]

We all agree ... they want to work, but you won't give them a work visa. They want to pay their own bills but you won't let them work.

Also, you couldn't afford food without them farming them, picking them and making cheap food available... even your Whole Food organic food, picked by an immigrant. [/quote]
