Close the freaking border!
Angry New Yorkers screaming at Democratic New York Reps. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Jerry Nadler as they tried to hold a press conference outside the Roosevelt Hotel to wax lyrical about how immigration makes America strong.
Send them back! protesters yelled. Illegal immigration is not right! Respect the Constitution, close the border!
One enraged New Yorker told Fox News We cannot afford to pay three, four thousand people everything for free. I have kids I had to spend hundreds of dollars to get their school supplies The reason why illegal immigrants are here is to steal our votes, our kids future, my birthright, our great city that I refuse to leave.
Yep. He sees through the sanctimonious troupe of assembled Democrats. Everyone does.
Presumably it was complaints from parents at the start of the school year that prompted Mayor Eric Adams dire warning that the migrant crisis will destroy New York City.
The city we knew, we are about to lose, he said, threatening to slash the city budget by 15 per cent to pay for the avalanche of migrants who continue to flood into the city.
All AOC and Nadler could say before they scurried away in disgrace was that the illegals need work permits.
How does that help?
It just puts more sugar on the table and displaces New Yorkers.
The only solution is to shut the southern border and end New Yorks
right to shelter law, which promises infinite resources to anybody who comes here.
It is not as if any of this is not pglaringly obvious.
But Adams is acting like it is a big surprise.
This is the same mayor who put out the welcome mat for illegals, sending a besuited concierge to greet people off each bus with a bag of goodies before they were directed to one of several historic hotels in Manhattan, where tourists once paid upward of $250 a night.
Did he think word would notget out?
Adams refuses to pin the blame where it belongs, on our feckless president.
Instead, he laughably blames Republicans a madman down in Texas decided he was going to bus people up to New York City.
This is a national Democratic Party talking point to fool their angry constituents into believing the fault lies with Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who sent a few migrant buses to blue states to make the political point that his state is being overrun because of Biden open border policies.
The Abbott buses are a drop in the ocean compared to the daily planeloads of illegals the Biden administration has been flying into the Westchester airport in the dead of night since at least the summer of 2021, on top of busloads more who arrived under their own steam, thanks to free travel paid for by NGOs that are paid by the government.
But the blame game is over.
New Yorkers know the truth and they feel betrayed.
And why isnt AOC in her best pantsuit at the border wailing about kids in cages.
Hypocrite.
