^^^^The article explains how things were handled 100 years ago. The author them makes a case for doing the exact same thing today.

From the article:

"A century ago, New York and other cities faced a migrant crisis that has striking parallels to the present one.

And the solution for overwhelmed communities then remains the only one that’ll work now — the federal government must humanely, but credibly, scale immigration back to a more sustainable level."

Try explaining that to brain-dead Biden.

And comparing today to 100 years ago is not reasonable. 100 years ago, manual labor was much more extensive than today. Now we use machinery.

The Social Security Act was passed by congress in 1935. Prior to that, most immigrants had to make it on their own. There was no federal assistance. If there was assistance, it was in the form of private charities.

Compare that to today. Recent arrivals get put up in decent hotels and fed at the taxpayer's expense. The incentives make more want to come here and get on the gravy train.
