Look if you like selling churros all day in the subway who am I to judge. I assume people do what they do cause they like doing it.
Who knows but that was a quote a migrant said. Maybe word of mouth, maybe they know people here, maybe Biden wrote them letters or paid a secret visit telling them to come here.

Why would you come here without a secure foundation when it snows

Well, that's what normal sensible person would think.



But, I'm thinking that they come here knowing they are going to get free everything.
Free Medical, food stamps, etc.
and that's why they all come here, and they're coming in droves, like nothing is stopping them

but out of my paycheck they take out medical insurance, and then I have a co pay and a deductible, imagine that?

plus all the taxes taken out as well.


I pay for my own food, as do all the rest of us...but they come from another country, illegally, I might add, get free food and medical.


I guess all I have to do is hop a fence.

how does our elected officials NOT see there is a migrant crisis gong on here< I mean seriously, how the hell do they not see this?

They do care because they know they will be converted to future voters. That’s the danger of a democracy, allowing the deplorables to vote to keep politicians with bad policies in power. All these politicians that redistribute taxes to the deplorables will eventually run out of people the tax then the city becomes filled with homeless like Seattle.

That's exactly it. The migrant they interviewed admitted it.

Why bother doing anything for yourself when you can get taxpayers to hand it to you for free. Nice life.

Indeed, and I hope that this process is slow enough, that I'll be dead and gone, before the full impact of this unmitigated disaster depletes my retirement money.....and I should add, money that I WORKED for!

One guy literally said they should be cooking meals from my culture for us. I don't like this food they give us.

Why is that so impossible to grasp. Go ahead sir go ahead and provide all those things. You want them to have it all go into your pockets.
I don’t know what articles you read but the propaganda is surely working. I have first hand experience working at the shelters in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Queens and yet to see the behavior you describe. We do serve mostly culturally sensitive food - halal for the African migrants, for religious reasons. I doubt it costs the city more $$ ( expensive contractors do though). It seems that you have an agenda and pick and choose rando quotes to fit your narrative. Sad.
