People always wonder what the exact monetary number is to deal with all the illegals/migrants crossing the border. NYC puts it in the budget
NYC Mayor Adams touts $107B budget deal: $1.4B to pay for migrant crisis
New York City officials touted a $107 billion budget agreement even as it faced a $1.4 billion hole for sheltering tens of thousands of migrants. (snip)
Hizzoner said the city had saved $4.7 billion over the past two fiscal years “without cutting services, laying off employees or raising taxes” due to higher-than-expected revenues but warned the city could be in financial trouble in future years.
“I’m sure there are many things we could’ve poured out money into if we had that $1.4 billion and the money we are going to lose in the outyears,” Adams complained, blaming the migrant crisis for adding to the city’s future financial woes.
“This comes out of New Yorker’s [pockets] and we are not getting the help we deserve and this is really wrong for asylum seekers,” Adams said.
“They only ask one thing: ‘let us work.’ They say, ‘we want to work. We want to pay into your tax base. We don’t want your free food. We don’t want your free clothing. We don’t want you washing our clothing. We want to work,’” he continued.
Of course, the $1.4 billion is simply to support the known ones shipped into NYC, and don’t forget about the hundreds of folks shipped from NYC to other NY counties, to other states, and even other countries. Remember, NYC asked for this by declaring themselves a sanctuary city. They say they love illegals, so, citizens should be happy to pay for them, and to have all that money diverted to pay for the illegals rather than city services. And those illegals/migrants were promised free food, clothing, housing, medical, educations, money, and citizenship if they came to the U.S. by all the Democrats.
And what does it cost for this?
Over 2,000 NY Guard members have been on migrant support mission in New York
Over 2,000 New York State Military Forces members have taken part in Operation Asylum Seeker, the New York National Guard participation in the state’s response to the migrant upsurge into New York City since the mission launched in October, 2022.
As of June 18, according to New York City Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom, the head of the city’s health and human services, New York City has taken in over 78,700 migrants since the spring of 2022. Many of these migrants have been bussed to the city by border state governors.
About 2,200 undocumented migrants had arrived in the city in the prior week, and 48,700 people were being housed in 174 sites, she said during a weekly briefing.
On October 4, 2022, Governor Kathy Hochul announced that she was activating members of the New York National Guard to assist New York City officials dealing with the unexpected flow of migrants seeking asylum who were arriving in the city.
That’s not cheap.
That is just the city budget for housing the ones who will depend on the city to house them at city expense. Expenses to feed, jail, medicate, and educate will be on top of that. Expenses covered by state, federal and charitable funds are over the top of that even more. Then there are the indirect costs from lower labor prices, more people dying because emergency rooms are swamped and more people getting diseases (some incurable) from third world hygiene practices, and more people getting killed and robbed by alien criminals.
but. having them vote democratic? Priceless. you cant put a price on vote buying.
Commontater: having them vote democratic?
Non-citizens cannot vote.
While they cannot vote, they do count in the census, so their numbers are represented in the electoral college. heavy immigrant states benefit by having added weight for their votes for President. One man, one vote has never really been true and certainly isn’t today.
70% of all undocumented migrants are currently working in NYC
They didn’t come here for free stuff they came to work
Center for Immigration Studies
April 23 2020
In NY there are an estimated 1.8 million immigrants currently working in what are called essential industries
The average length of time an undocumented has been in the USA is 15 years.
Under Bidens open door policy the percentage of total immigrants has gone up a whopping 5%
There are an estimated 12 million undocumented in the USA. Biden has allowed about 600000 in per year 880000 in 18 months. this has increased our undocumented about 5%.
In NYC the single men who work here do not intend to stay here. They work hard, send money back home, maybe are building a house there, and eventually want to return to their families. This decades old practice as a higher percentage are now coming here to escape violence often caused by the drug buying of Americans
Nice try, Johnny. And it still costs 1.4 billion to support the illegals.
You moved the goal posts again. You start with “1.8million immigrants working in the US” then jump to how many “illegals” are here for how long. BTW, both numbers are wrong.
The left has been repeating the lie that there are “11 million illegals” in the US since 1998 when there were 16 million. In reality today there are about 35 million legal and illegal immigrants in our country. WHY?
Again bullshit. We all see the news and they state 200,000 illegals a month are coming in under sniffer joe and that excludes the runaways. That comes to 21/2 million a year under the illegal leader ++++the sneak-ins.
Again bullshit. How the hell would you or anyboby know the “intensions” of illegal single men in NYC? Fact is they DO STAY HERE and send home for their ENTIRE FAMILY TO JOIN THEM and we all know it. Stop lying.
First, its not a “decades old practice” and is in fact very rare for an immigrant illegal or not to return home voluntarily. EVER! second, use the good sense not to blame the drug buying of Americans for second and third world violence in other countries usually caused by socialism and communism keeping the standard of living low.
But as usual you radical commies MUST blame America. I’m stunned you don’t blame Trump.
