As a resident on my state (fortunately living 300 miles from nyc) I'm outraged. Why are my tax dollars going to be spent on illegals. Why are we encouraging more to come here to be a drain on our public services.
We have American citizens right now who need this assistance. We don't need to import a new permanent underclass of democrat voters at the expense of our own suffering citizens.
Shame on you deblasio and Cuomo.
Reportedly, city funds will be used as they are for the city’s 11 public hospitals and 70 neighborhood clinics.
The mayor claims it will save money in the long run by addressing the health of low income people, including illegal immigrants upfront, before they need ER care.
I can't believe what is going on in our country in regards to our border being invaded and congress remaining compliant on it. It is costing us dearly financially, is in direct conflict of what this country stands for which is being a nation of laws. I fought in the Viet Nam war and for what? To have my country overran with illegal invaders, our own citizens losing their jobs to them, our demographics being unnaturally and unlawfully altered along with this huge financial burden we are enduring because of them?
There are three guilty parties here and that is congress who are the biggest culprits in this, the greedy employers who hire illegal aliens and these illegal invaders themselves. None of them have any respect for mainstream law abiding Americans it's all about their own selfish gains from this. I wanted to enjoy my golden years after serving my country, working all my life contributing to our society and raising a family with morals and respect but this weighs so heavily on my heart everyday that it takes away from that enjoyment.
Glad to hear it. Now let's load up a few hundred / thousand buses at the border and get them to NYC so they can get free Medical Care since so many are carrying diseases, not vaccinated and need urgent care.
In the last 10 days 88,000 Illegals were caught just in McAllen. How about we put on a train your way ?
Thanks NY for being so rich. You'll be the magnet that sucks these illegal, uneducated to your state.
BTW thanks for sending many of those nice Amazon jobs our way to Texas.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 was introduced by Republicans and received some bipartisan support. This act followed the Republican NAFTA legislation and replaced paper cards with electronic Border Crossing Cards that allows Mexican nationals to enter the US for 72 hours to shop and visit family, limited to 25 miles of the border.
The La Plaza Mall in McAllen and big box outlets are the primary beneficiaries of these shoppers. Reportedly, McAllen raises more per capital sales tax than any other city in Texas.
The mayor is an Independent and did not endorse Beto or Cruz.

Agree. And isn't there some law that forbids elected politicians from actively encouraging people to break laws? The liberal mayor is creating enticements to encourage illegal immigration.
