So I doubt it will stand. She is herself a naturalized American citizen and immigration lawyer.

But the Democratic Party would do anything to increase their voting base, showing how desperate they are.

I was naturalized a few years ago and I am strongly against it, what is the point of being a US citizen then?

The law will stand. It'll be argues as a special carve out for NYC akin to voting in HS for the student board. I'm not even joking.

Nowadays, taking government handouts is a sport. Especially in a city like NYC. Not only is it not looked down upon, in many communities your neighbors think you're an idiot if you're not indulging.

Absolutely right....Birds of a feather stick together and unfortunately, all turkeys.................

Doubt it will, even DeBozo, though not vetoing it said it may not go too far.
