Has anybody else seen a noticeable increase in illegal aliens in the city? There must be at least twice as many as there were prior to the pandemic. They are absolutely everywhere.
It looks like half of the population of NYC are illegal aliens now, and nobody likes that term but that is really what they are.
I see a lot of them now wearing flashy bling clothes, new sport team clothing, new high end sneakers, flashy jewelry, sitting on Vespa-like mopeds, talking selfies, some have multiple smart phones, waiting for their next delivery. Does anybody else notice this?
If you get right down to the facts, the system the illegal workers have built is more profitable than a lot of legal New Yorkers jobs. We pay taxes. We do not get nearly the amount of freebies as they.
You can walk by virtually any construction site in the city and you will see dozens of them. They only hire people of their same ethnicity. How convenient.
When I mentioned this to some Liberal friends and family they always come back with the same retort: ”How do you know they are illegals?”.
I do not play that game. I know they are illegal alien workers. I can tell.
Yes, they are everywhere it seems, more so these past few years.
H&G Bagels on Second has nothing but staff of illegals (mostly Mexicans apparently), both working in shop and standing around outside waiting to be dispatched on Doordash type deliveries.
Virtually every bar or restaurant one sees on UES, UWS, Tribeca and elsewhere in city has illegals at least doing kitchen, cleaning and other things.
Seems like entire eff ton of bike delivery persons are illegals on those GD electric bikes.
About 20,000-25,000 a month are still crossing the Southern Border.
Surely NYC will gladly accept 300 a day being a sanctuary city.
Sending these people to NYC is a good thing if they did but know it.
Besides overly generous social welfare benefits immigration courts for NYC approve far more claims as a percentage filed than Texas or many other areas.
City Hall has refused to say how much the city is spending on housing migrants in the homeless-system hotels, but a Post analysis found the cost could surpass $300 million.
“We were already facing a crisis of homelessness in New York City when the flow of these migrant families started in earnest,” said Josh Goldfein, a lawyer with the homeless-rights advocacy division at Legal Ai
Although Mayor Eric Adams has appealed to the White House for assistance, including for financial resources, he has yet to receive the extra help he requested.
An official with knowledge of the city’s efforts said the Adams administration reached out to the United States Conference of Mayors for assistance, too.
“If [Adams] can’t find a place for [the migrants] to go, it looks like he can’t manage. Throw it on top of the crime pile, and it looks like he can’t control the city,” longtime political consultant Hank Sheinkopf told The Post on Sunday.
“If Adams has not resolved this by the late fall, he will have a big problem. A failure to resolve this as the weather changes is going to be a real problem for the mayor,” he added.
The new school zone speed cameras they all have over the city will help expenses and propose congestion pricing.
The Big Apple could be on the hook for more than $300 million per year to provide shelter space in hotels for newly arrived migrants, a Post analysis shows.
City officials have either rented or announced plans to secure roughly 5,800 hotel rooms over the last month in response to the influx from the southern border, which quickly overwhelmed the already-strained
Records show the ROW was previously used by city officials to provide shelter as part of a $139 million contract the Department of Homeless Services inked in January 2021, in which City Hall shelled out an average of $147.67 per day in rent.
Assuming that DHS has secured a similar rate this time around, providing the 5,800 hotel rooms could add an unexpected $312.6 million in new spending to the city budget — and that’s before tallying other costs, like providing food and medical care.
“Providing these services will clearly be a significant costs that will require city officials to either shift funding from other programs or identify savings,” said Ana Champeny, the top researcher at the Citizens Budget Commission.
