Good. We need more immigrants. Vote blue, all the way down!

How about we welcome more legal immigrants???

For a sense of scale, the annual budget of New York City is about $1 billion.

Would OP prefer that these folks be left unhoused on the streets?

I find it fascinating how you phrase “folks left unhoused” as if it’s not the illegals fault that the NYC taxpayers are paying the illegals living expenses.

The hotels are collecting the vouchers so the city knows exactly where many of the illegals are living. Deport them.

Not sure what OP prefers.
I prefer the people here illegally be deported. They are impacting the lives of citizens in terms of their well being - economically and personal safety.
I think OP is highlighting the abomination of the Biden/Harris border policies as a warning of things to come if Kamala is elected.

Correction: the annual budget of NYC is about $100 billion.

There are no stoops in Times Square and surrounding midtown streets.

Go Sanctuary city!

Where is the Mayor and Governor on this?

We are planning a trip in late August and are thinking about cancelling. City is a place we want to take our kids, but may have to skip out on Times Square and the areas that are unsafe like near midtown and stick to Statue of Liberty or Central Park areas? We have young kids and do not want to take any chances.

A cashier from NYC posted a migrants receipt and it showed the migrant had 13,000 dollars of food stamps on his card.

Wowza.

I am not sure why NYC is allowing the migrant freebie program to continue. NYC was never a city hurting with lack of immigrants or lack of tourism or underpopulation.

NYC didn’t suffer a fledgling economy and in fact, most of these migrants don’t even work or contribute to the economy. From what I hear, they drink and ride scooters all day and make New Yorkers uncomfortable with their stares and loud music at night hours when people are sleeping to go to work.

THANK YOU KAMALA!!

Good god. If I was a NY-er I would be absolutely livid. No wonder so many people have left.

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.
