Imagine what could be done if cities and states didn’t have to spend so much money dealing with illegal aliens. Of course, New Yorkers should be happy to have all this money and space diverted, since they support illegal immigration, right?
NYC housing more asylum seekers than homeless NYers in migrant crisis first
A new milestone in NYC’s migrant crisis: There are now more asylum seekers living in city shelters than there are homeless New Yorkers.
The tipping point took place Sunday, when 50,000 migrants were in the City’s care, outnumbering the 49,700 local shelter residents.
Among the takeaways: the NYC shelter system has essentially doubled in size, due to the influx, mostly from Latin American countries including Venezuela, Ecuador and Colombia.
Additionally, sheltering asylum seekers is more expensive. Without work permits, many asylum seekers cannot pay for basic necessities. They are not entitled to all the same public assistance benefits as citizens, and for migrants, the city is not collecting its usual share of shelter costs from the state and federal governments.
Why is NY not asking all the Democratic Party voting residents to house them…oh, wait, they had a plan. Why not force them to house the illegals? They could start with the politicians. I’m sure AOC would be happy to take a few in
“My heart breaks a little bit, and I have these conflicting feelings,” said Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom, during a tour of the new arrival center at the Roosevelt Hotel.
But, I’m sure it’s not breaking enough for her to put a few up at her casa, or donate a bunch of her time and money
Of the milestone, she says it’s important for the city to greet people with dignity, but unsustainable at this pace.
Williams-Isom notes the financial cost, an anticipated $4.3 billion cost through next spring, and a human cost on staff assisting asylum seekers.
That should not matter, since NYC is a declared sanctuary city. They should welcome this. Meanwhile
Workers arrive at the future Greensboro site for migrant children who cross the U.S. border alone
Monday dormant former American Hebrew Academy saw some activity.
The site is getting closer to taking in immigrant children.
WFMY News 2 spotted a large group of folks on the 100-acre property getting some sort of instruction.
And what happens next is that the parents are invited when they show up, and they never leave. Nice little scam. It’s also child abuse that parents send their kids alone, and that Democrats entice the parents to do that.
When Teach days that he himself will take the place of the 20% of farm workers that are undocumented, I will know he is serious about sending them back home
Just like he tells us about the greenies having yo give up their ipads yo reduce carbon pollution, if you talk the talk (about sending them back) you gotta walk the walk
Our ‘sanctuary cities’ are now bearing costs that weren’t costs before when we required the ‘asylum seekers’ to stay in Mexico!
The American taxpayers are the ones being forced to pay for the Democrats’ idiotic policies.
