Riggghhhhttttt.... because the current migrants aren't on camera multiple times asking for work and to take care of their families and build a better life. People like you love to romanticize the past and alwwayyyssss make excuses for your forefathers and then criticize people in the present day looking to do the exact same thing your forefathers did.

Low skilled workers aren't being allowed into NYC for naught. The truth is, every pyramid needs a base, and from time to time, the base has to be reinforced, to ensure that it is structurally sound, so that the pyramid will not collapse.

That's what's so disgusting about what's going on. They are pawns. There's nothing organic about their migration. Their countries are perfectly fine. There's only so many restaurants and delis in American cities that need labor.
The Democrats do want more immigrants because recent arrivals do tend to vote Democrat. Except for Cuban refugees, who are anti-Communist and tend to vote Republican. Which is why the Biden regime has been capturing them at sea and sending them back (to almost certain imprisonment and execution).

Funny thing, though. Hispanics in the 2nd and 3rd generations become more moderate and centrist and vote like the mainstream demographic. In 2016, about 50% of fluent-English Hispanics voted for Trump, for example.

For this reason, the Democrats need to keep the borders wide open. They know that sooner or later, they'll hit an electoral wall where pro-family, pro-religion, socially conservative Hispanics switch loyalties to GOP.

Now NYC is a special case, perhaps, because immigrants tend to move to the 'burbs when they have achieved affluence and can afford it. Not all, but a significant chunk. NYC has been a city of new arrivals for a long time; the days when many generations of native New Yorkers lived in the same houses and neighborhoods are long gone.

Big difference. It's called history. Try it.
With the dawn of AI, in few years many will be voting against the technocrats who enabled jobs to be replaced by AI. Majority of tech work today aren't needed anymore because of redundant and error prone work that are better handled by AI. Bud light fired a bunch of their office workers but kept their bottling and factory workers. Because it's easy for tech to replace tech workers and manual labor is becoming harder to find because the younger gen are no refilling the factory lines or apprenticeship with a hands on skilled work.

China can build vast cities the last 25 years because they have an abundance of skilled workers that can build, craft, and engineer their infrastructure.

America can't even fix highways properly in 40 years. While cities are in despair due to rise in poverty, crime, drug use, and income inequality.

China has brought more people out of poverty and has a bigger middle class now. This shows the US socialism isn't working. More handouts the more poverty, the more taxation on the middle class the more income inequalities.

Migrants are not the solution to this country, US is increasingly becoming 3rd world like with all of the 3rd world problems but not the affordability.

Yep, and Obama ended the wet-foot/dry-foot policy. Nobody cried about his immigration policies at the time. Fast forward and remain in Mexico is the worst policy ever!!11!. Then Obama went to a baseball game with Raoul Castro so all was cool.

It's all so stupid.

What i have a problem with these migrants is that they came........illegally.

And then Adams proceeds to help them more than he does Us citizens that are homeless.

Also,these migrants tend to bring their racism to the Usa.

You as an illegal immigrant do not have a right to be racist toward black american citizens.

I always wanted to live in the woods, a bit off grid. It’s unfortunate that retiring here is just not a reality.
Also, the majority of legal New Yorkers are so foolish they will never see the obvious, they will go out of their way to defend the invaders. They are the definition of traitors and fools.

Those were legal and vetted immigrants. They were not illegal aliens. They were white too, unlike today, they are importing cultures of people with absolute hatred of Americans. The Italians were not coming here to destroy America, unlike today, they are purposefully invading our country by importing poisonous clashing cultures into the USA. They are importing unvetted felons and cartels and criminals.

The difference is so stark that for any American to even slightly justify it makes that person a traitor.

To keep misusing definitions and interchanging “immigrant” with “migrant” or illegal alien invaders is what they really are, for any American that keeps conflating those terms it makes them by clear definition, a traitor.

The entire restaurant industry in NYC should be boycotted. Your argument is traitorous. The illegal workers in restaurants and everywhere else in the city are a complete poison to our workforce.

Americans used to do restaurant work. Americans used to do EVERYTHING work related here maybe with the exception of picking crops and even that is an entire industry of growing poisonous foods. People are supposed to grow their own food.

A person would have to be irregularly dense to not see what Bill Gates is doing by dominating the farmland in the USA and by making it illegal to cultivate food of your own. To overlook the most obvious goals that the World Economic Forum clearly tells the world of their nefarious plans, to continually overlook the obvious is to either be completely dense in the head and or just a traitor against freedoms of the USA.

People come up with the most purely stupid arguments to defend the wrong side of the equation.

Dr Fauci is clearly the most psychotic doctor on TV. You couldn’t tell he was lieing? Over and over and over and Over every day he was on TV lying and changing goal posts. He was well practiced with the “covid vaccine” because he did the same exact thing in the 80’s killing a million people.

This was Not Dr Faucis first rodeo with the “covid vaccine”. He killed a million before, but more recently he was allowed to implement it on a much wider scale worldwide.

Very few of the illegal alien invaders are vaccinated. Doesn’t that tell you something odd is occurring, that we were required to get the shots that are mysteriously killing people almost on a time-release, yet, none of the invaders were required to get shots?

The highest unemployment currently in the USA is in NY and CA. We don’t need ANY immigrants, and we do not need any illegal aliens either.

Americans can be doctors too, we do not need to import foreigners.
Americans can do construction too because We Always Did Do The Construction before invaders came and stoled the jobs.

If a New Yorker even if they turn a blind eye to the immensity of how many jobs illegals have stolen, they are traitors.

Why on earth are there so many anti-American Americans? It is unbelievable how this has happened.

Back then a willingness to work at hard manual labor got you by even with a language barrier or minimal education.

Not speaking the language and little education today is a death sentence for any city.
Skilled people leaving the city for better quality of life only amplifies the problem.

The city is affordable to a smaller group of people than decades ago.


There aren't even enough low level jobs to fill for new comers even if they wanted to pay
for an education towards that kind of degree.

Dishwashers can't do that. Taxi drivers can't do that. Waiters can't do that. Laborers can't do that.


We are in the midst of a technological revolution requiring less humans to operate but in need of more to fix them.
Problem is humans are having problems fixing themselves to meet the challenges the times are demanding today
and this industry will not stay where skills lack. Industry will move to a location where it's demands can be met.

Not to confuse speed with intelligence, N.Y.C. is still fast paced but on the bell curve of intelligence
which is needed by technological industries I believe N.Y.C. is quickly falling flat.
If you are retired you likely have little idea what has happened to the workforce environment today.

Tons and tons of computer jobs were outsourced to foreigners who only hire other foreigners.
AI will eliminate tons of jobs.

What is left are all the manual labor jobs that the illegal aliens stoled. Illegal aliens will only hire other illegals so many American construction and all trade workers are out of luck there. Even if an American get a construction job, their pay will continue shrinking because invaders work for less.

If a New Yorker supports illegal workers in even the slightest way, they are traitors. You’d have to be beyond stupid to just brush off the tens of millions of illegal workers in the USA.

Despite all the lies the government and the media pushes, the job market is not so great. NY and California, two of the dumbest and traitorous states in regards “sanctuary city” lies, these are the worst job markets in America for legal workers and it will only get worse.

It will get Much worse. The 100,000 “migrants” is only the beginning for NYC. Mayor Adams is going to use those “migrants” to replace New Yorkers from their jobs. Especially white workers.

Mayor Adams is using the same Affirmative Action plans as in South Africa. So it literally does not matter how unsuitable a worker is for a role, they will use AA to force whites out of jobs while inserting migrants and any other skin color Except whites.

This is only the beginning. History is not “repeating itself” in NYC. Just look at the plans the World Economic Forum is openly telling the world what their goals are. It is not a hidden mystery; they publish their plans online and in books and videos available for the world to freely learn about.

The other group to blame are Mexican drug cartels which make big money smuggling people into the USA and using them as indentured servants for sub minimum wage. This includes acting as drug mules, informers, etc. The cartels method of ensuring compliance is they monitor the migrants'families back home. And if anytime the payments dry up. . . . Well. Let's say it's not pretty.
True. Look who is in charge of the southern border. Mayorkas is a jew and a Latino.

Stop turning a blind eye to jewish involvement. Jews are in practically ever single one of the most powerful roles in the country.

Also notice how we can criticize Latinos all day long every day, but, it is not the same deal with jews. Oddly, jews are the only group nobody is allowed to criticize. Hmmm. Why is that?

It is genocidal. But it’s going to take most people too long to ever connect the dots.

Also the entire illegal workforce is entirely 1,000,000% unnecessary for Americans. The illegal workers do absolutely nothing but damage towards legal Americans. It is a complete and utter lose lose for Americans.

It should not matter at all whether they want to “assimilate” or not. Absolutely None of the illegals belong here At All. It’s not like 5+ years ago when the neighbors in NYC were quietly harboring illegal aliens in big numbers. Today it is an actual Invasion.

You do not want Any of them to “assimilate” or be here At All.

Americans can make sandwiches and build houses and deliver foods. We do not need Any illegals at all.

I have. For the most part I avoid restaurants not only because it has become too expensive but I cannot support businesses that hire illegals.

The city can easily do a 50% reduction in the amount of restaurants. The sole reason NYC has this many restaurants is because they are used as inconspicuous vehicles for hiring more illegal workers.

There is no way to justify the use of illegal workers anymore.

The thing is, this is only the beginning. There are only 100,000 of them but the number will easily double in a year, and triple to quadruple in two years.

The goal for NYC is probably around 8 million “migrants”. They want to completely capsize the city population. That is their goal. It does not look like it yet, but drop by drop the writing is on the wall.

We are not safe or welcome in NYC anymore. As the original poster mentioned, many of us will have to leave. The invaders will give us no other choice.

What the Adams' administration really wants is for the federal government to authorize illegal immigrants ability to work in the U.S., but keep in mind that they haven't had any background checks or any of their asylum claims/stories verified, by U.S. government officials.

There will be a lot of problems, once the illegal immigrants are authorized to work and allowed to compete for NYC housing vouchers or the housing lottery system. This will put them in direct competition with low waged earners in NYC, who are disproportionally Black American.

Yeah black Americans will be displaced but I semi disagree because look how Affirmative Action operates in Africa. The goal of affirmative action over there is shocking to most Americans but the goal of AA in Africa is white genocide. With Affirmative Action it makes no difference what skill level a worker is, just skin color.

It’s suppressed through the media but in Africa tens of thousands of blacks recently gathered with the goal of genociding all the white farmers. Their is an old song they sing, to kill the boer, the boer is the white farmer. They genocide the whites there and it’s acceptable.

But they have zero goal other than killing whites and their reasons for genociding them are practically nil. Over and over again, after they kill their white farmers then the blacks are left to starve. The blacks do not farm themselves, they just continue complaining the whites were to blame even while they are starving to death.

The same goes in South Africa with the jobs that require competence. They remove the competent workers and insert the Affirmative Action hires who never rise up to the skill level necessary. It is to the point that whole industries collapse but they can care less. They just do not want the white workers to be there.

The white workers will be blocked from colleges also but some whites will find ways to graduate, but it does not matter that they have college degree because Affirmative Action is designed to block whites from the jobs no matter how badly their work might be needed, it does not matter. All they hire is skin color.

This is not a far cry from Eric Adams plan.
