We have a birth rate problem, in part, because housing prices are high for singles, which means they are even higher for higher capacity housing (i.e. - families). If you can’t afford a family, only people who are happy with Welfare grow their family situation.
They are not migrants!
They are ILLEGALS!!!!!!!........
I voted for Trump (3 times) because he said he was going to mass-deport the illegals at every stop he made, several times a day he said that.
Hey. Jesse Watters. Waiting for Boomers to die off might take a back seat to fixing this for young adults looking for housing
Hey pukes at Twitchy, your moron poster of the article neglected to put “ILLEGAL” in front of ‘migrant.’
well, they just voted to get even more of this ...
Why does the media never make the distinction between LEGAL and ILLEGAL immigrants.
As usual, the media blurs an important distinction causing confusion.
America has so much extra welfare money - we need to bring in migrants to spend it all!
I thought all rental units in NYC were rent controlled.
Migrants?! I thought they were illegal aliens? Guess I missed something.
But if it means the usual illegals who broke into our county with Biden's help (for new democrat voters) then it's an outrage. New York sucks.
They don’t care about us. They are trying to replace us.
They elected him, so I have no fuches to give
Is “migrants” newspeak for illegal immigrants?
I do not believe Miller’s 40% figure. Most rental units with leases under rent control do not change hands often. Once renting under rent control the tenant either does not move for years and years, or when they do move they (1) do not move their stuff out, (2) keep the lease and keep the location as primary address and (3) sublet the unit to a family member legally or illegally.
When Bidens illegals began arriving most NYC units renting under rent control were rented, not vacant.
Maybe Miller is using “immigrants” in the very broad term, which includes - in NYC - tons of legal immigrants and many “green card” holders. Many are legal immigrants here legally for decades.
Miller needs to substantiate and detail his claim.
Also, taxpayers do not subsidize rent control apartments. Rent control is a means of depriving the landlord from obtaining a rent an open market would permit. Who “pays” is the landlord not the taxpayer.
I have no problem with legal migrants. But every illegal immigrant is driving up housing costs for everyone while breaking the law to boot.
Any place with expensive housing is going to have higher wages.
Immigrants from around the world are going to flock to where they can make more money.
Their multi-generational households have three or more workers.
Single workers, citizens and foreigners alike, can triple or quadruple up in three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses.
Traditional American families with just two workers at most are going to get economically displaced except at the very top end.
Yep, that government supported rent payment for ‘migrants’ prevents young people from affordable housing. Two possible solutions:
1. Stop funding of illegals
2. Blame the rich not paying enough taxes.
Which choice would our supposed well educated democrats make?
ROFLOL.
