A recent poll has revealed that 75% of New York Democrats view the migrant crisis as a serious issue, with Mayor Eric Adams expressing concern that the crisis could “destroy” the city.
He urged wealthy individuals to help the city financially and called for more support from Washington, D.C.
“Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to,” Adams said.
“I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City. We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month,” he said in September.
“This is a moment where it’s an all hands-on deck moment,” he said recently.
“The way it goes, New York goes, America goes, but I’m going to need you more than ever to support many of these organizations like PAL, Robin Hood Foundation, and others,” he added. “A moment where our philanthropic interests must align with some of the gaps and services that we are seeing today.”
The city announced budget cuts, with $1.45 billion spent in fiscal 2023 and nearly $11 billion expected to be spent in 2024 and 2025.
Additionally, Adams has supported noncitizens voting in elections, despite legal challenges to the law.
New York isn't the only "Sanctuary City" finally seeing the light. Some things, some people just have to learn the hard way.

New Poll Highlights Staggering Reversal Of Democrats On Illegal Aliens
New York isn't the only "Sanctuary City" finally seeing the light. Some things, some people just have to learn the hard way.
I remember having several conversations with people prior to the 2020 election, and I told these people who'd planned to vote for Biden that Democrat politicians were for Open Borders, and had planned to completely open up the border to illegals. They told me I was crazy and that they'd never do that.
I don't like being right... I really don't, because it means bad things came true.
An Algerian immigrant in Ireland stabbed children and their teacher. The people are up in arms.
All of the news is about "radical right wing anti immigration riots in Dublin", there is hardly anything about the peaceful Islamist school stabbing that started it. Sound familiar?

When there were riots in France just a few month ago, every story said it started when a police officer killed a teen. The media put the cause front and center when it fits their agenda. They focus on the reaction when it does not.
Kind of like when a Republican does something wrong, that is clear and in the headline. When a Democrat does something wrong it is all about "Republicans pounce", or "Republicans take advantage" with little mention of the Democrat wrong doing. Kind of like when news outlets were finally forced to cover Hunter's laptop, they did not cover the evidence of illegal acts and corruption that was on it. It was all about how Republicans were using it to their political advantage.
Dear Republicans: We Tried Your Way and It Does Not Work
'' The 1970s was a pivotal decade, and not just because it saw the end of the Vietnam War, the resignation of Nixon, and the death of both the psychedelic hippie movement and the very political (and sometimes violent) SDS. Most consequentially, the 1970s were when the modern-day Republican Party was birthed.
Prior to that, the nation had hummed along for 40 years on a top income tax bracket of 91% and a corporate income tax that topped out around 50%. Business leaders ran their companies, which were growing faster than at any time in the history of America, and avoided participating in politics.
Democrat Franklin Roosevelt and Republican Dwight Eisenhower renewed America with modern, state-of-the-art public labs, schools, and nonprofit hospitals across the nation; nearly free college, trade school, and research support; healthy small and family businesses; unions protecting a third of America’s workers so two-thirds had a living wage and benefits; and an interstate highway system, rail system, and network of new airports that transformed the nation’s commerce.
When we handed America over to Ronald Reagan in 1981 it was a brand, gleaming new country with a prosperous and thriving middle class.
And then they burned it to the ground. (my comment)
hartmannreport.com Dear Republicans: We Tried Your Way and It Does Not Work The bottom line is that we — voluntarily or involuntarily — have now had the full GOP experience. We're no longer listening to the GOP politicians who are continuing to sell us this bullshit… hartmannreport.com hartmannreport.com ''

Does this mean you support open immigration? Because you know, there are options for increasing the population of the United States, and providing people who are willing to work, without having open borders. We can increase immigration numbers, and we can also offer more work VISAs.

Useful Programs? That must mean all those give-away vote buying bills the Dems voted in..................... Personally, I'm all for a flat tax with no exceptions, no deductions, no loopholes, period but, there's no way that's ever going to become law. Your and my grandchildren and further down the line will inherit the debt your Progressive representatives voted for the last three years. There's something you can brag about to them. I'm sure they'll be happy to pay for our bills. Not to mention all those new occupants we're now paying for since they crossed our southern border. Yeah, that was a wonderful Dem idea.

Biden didn’t completely open the border to illegal immigrants. So you weren’t right, lol.
I am sure you will try to spin blame on the other side
raygun gave all illegals a free pass if the dates were correct and they were not commies or some other things
proceed to whatabout spin as you love to do
raygun did do it
Reagan passed amnesty as an agreement to secure the border permanently. What we didn't realize is that the left would desire to continue to benefit from millions of impoverished people who would then become dependent upon the welfare state, and therefore encourage more government control. It's totally intentional. The funny thing though, is that most liberals are ignorant to facts / culture other than their own... they didn't realize that more than 90% of these Hispanics coming across are Catholic, and that's flipping out the radical leftists.
“Under President Biden, the Border Patrol has arrested more people for illegally crossing the southern border into the country than in any other period since the government started keeping count in 1960.“

It ain’t open. Trust me, I wish it were more open (and with comprehensive immigration reform). But any claim that it is, is a lie.
And yet, the Biden Administration's response to overwhelming border crossers is to ship them to locations in the US instead of sending them back across the border. There is a legal path to citizenship ya know. The Biden Admistration has bastardized the whole system. If that's not an open invitation to come, I don't know what is. Trusting Democrats is what got us into this situation.

I think you're grossly misrepresenting this information, or you're really misunderstanding it. They are not arresting people and sending them back. They are set free, and given a court appearance that in some cases doesn't happen for another 10 years. So respectfully, either you are intentionally misrepresenting this (and are aware of it), or you are unaware and just reiterating talking points.

I thought you was working on your naivety.
Those numbers are because he has announced that illegal immigrants are encouraged to come. He gave a way illegal immigrants did not have to brave the trek on foot or Rio Grand river. He announced that they could just go to a approved port of entry and enter the USA. He counts those as arrests.

I guess you support the gangs call coyote smugglers or want to see dead bodys in the deserts or play shoot the waders ?
or something else like fake walls that others were to pay for myths and no idea who is getting in or where they go so cheap illegal labor

This does happen, sure, but the volumes we are talking about are anything but “open border” as you call it. Tables 33 and 39 for your reference:
You’ll see a decline in removals, but you also see an increase in expulsions that show more net forced movement out of the country than in years prior (expulsions just began reporting with the Title 42 COVID response).
Biden flubbed hard on immigration. He presented immigration reform and it never went through. I don’t think he’s handled it well, at all. But to claim that it’s been like an open border? That’s just feeding into propaganda.
we are a border just wet so boats are needed I lived on a boat = that world view !
Relevance:
This is not just a random youtube video. The movie was based (somewhat loosely) on a Hemingway novel by the same title.
In the movie, Bogie’s character lives in Martinique and is propositioned to smuggle members of the French Resistance. In the book, he lives in Florida and smuggles Cubanos and Chinese.
I would have hoped that some would get it.
Also, this is where Bogie first met the 19 year old Bacall, and the film where she delivered her most iconic line. relevance
