Angry New Yorkers heckled and screamed at Democrat lawmakers during a chaotic press conference Friday morning as they tried to address the city’s migrant crisis. Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Jerry Nadler and other Democrats were drowned out by the furious crowd outside the Roosevelt Hotel mega shelter in Midtown.
“Immigrants makes America strong,” said Nadler. “Nowhere is that clearer than right here in New York.”
“Close the freaking border!” one protester shouted as Nadler spoke. The protesters waved signs against illegal immigration and flipped the Democrats off as they spoke.
“The city is always changing,” Nadler continued. The one constant is that people from around the world want to come here to build a better life for themselves and we’re all better for that.”
“Go back to your country! Go back to your own country!” one woman screamed. “You are not welcome here! You are not welcome here!”
“This is America!” another protester hollered. Behind him, another man was seen flipping off the Democrats.
AOC was also drowned out as she tried to articulate her three-point solution to the crisis, which amounted to allocating more federal resources to house migrants, giving them jobs, and providing extended temporary protected status.
“Close the border!” protesters loudly chanted as AOC spoke.
Nadler seemed out of his element when pressed about the overcrowding in NY schools. “New York is welcoming countless migrants,” Nadler said, as protesters screamed behind him.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams warned in a speech last week that the nonstop influx of illegal aliens into the Big Apple “will destroy” the city and blamed Texas Governor Greg Abbott for busing many of them there. More than 110,000 migrants have reportedly poured into the sanctuary city in the past year. The city has spent about $1.5 billion in the last fiscal year on housing the illegal aliens and has reportedly cut police budget funding to allocate more money toward them.
“I don’t see an ending to this. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City. Destroy New York City,” Adams complained during a Town Hall meeting on the Upper West Side. “We’re getting 10,000 migrants a month.”
“They will never be allowed to walk down the streets again,” said one angry New Yorker, when asked what he thought about the Democrats’ speeches. “They have destroyed our city!”
The crisis at the open border, meanwhile continues to get worse.
According to Fox News correspondent Bill Melugin, Per CBP sources, “Border Patrol apprehended over 7,400 illegal immigrants at the southern border” on Tuesday. When “combined with CBP ports of entry, there were over 9,100 migrant encounters in one day,” Melugin added on X. “I’m told CBP released 5,000+ yesterday w/ a notice to appear. As of this morning, CBP had over 21,000 people in custody.”
Border Patrol agents are conducting “mass releases” of illegals in San Diego, according to Melugin.
“DHS personnel in Arizona are now using the term “freedom runs” when instructing BP agents about mass releases of illegal aliens in Tucson,” said the Border Patrol Union in a statement
There is almost no manpower left for enforcement duties as agents’ calls for assistance go unanswered and the vast majority are tied up with huge numbers of surrendering border crashers. Agents have been instructed to prioritize the processing of surrendering illegal aliens instead of patrolling the border.
And while all this sanctioned lawlessness ties up resources, the murderous cartel thugs continue to run hugely successful border operations while making billions of dollars smuggling millions of illegal aliens, tons of fentanyl and whatever else they want to send here, courtesy of Joe Biden.
The Biden Admin will not be satisfied until every last spark of BP agent morale is extinguished.
It is good to see the democRATs being treated the way they deserve to be treated.
Droopy drawers sure looked as stupid as Joe Biden stumbling thru his written script.
Bookmark for reading later. Over and over.
They welcomed the sanctuary city status that they now protest.
Consider me unsympathetic.
They are used to reading their cliches to an adoring media, not real people.
AOC and Nadler are both a couple of fools.
I thought that gluttonous slob Nadler was on the ropes for re-election? Yet here he is back in DC for two more years. Sheesh.
People need to show up and welcome democrats like that everywhere they go.
Not sure they would take the hint but it might have an influence on a few voters come election time. They may realize they’re selling their future down the drain if they vote democrat again.
"Immigrants makes America strong,” said Nadler.
You can't buy irony like this. Nadler's going to put the Babylon Bee out of business.
Not sure they would take the hint . . .
Nevertheless, they will still vote demonrat.
AOC and Nadler will be reelected with large margins. The demonrats won’t even have to cheat.
Yet, the sheeple will still vote for the very Democrats who enable the Pretender in the White House to violate his oath by not enforcing the laws and constitution of the United States.
Flew into NYC yesterday with my long term girlfriend ahead of boarding a fall foliage cruise tomorrow.
To say that NYC has a lot of illegals in the city may be an understatement.
To say they’re all struggling for resources is an overstatement.
Here’s what I’m seeing first hand:
1. So many around the pot dispensaries getting high, majority Mexicans with no English and cash for drugs. (Yes, I understand Spanish)
2. Where are they getting money for scooters? It’s likeso many of them on scooters, messing up traffic, don’t know the laws here or don’t care.
3. Lots of them trying to sell fruit cups on street corners.
4. Witnessed several pick pocket incidents in times square.
5. Huge mexican independence day gathering in times square last night. They tried overcrowding times square, NYC PD would have none of that. Have to say, NYC PD has their stuff together and quickly, professionally reopened the streets, shepherded the “celebrants” back to a small confined area and appeared to do that without incident.
As hamstrung as the police are, they are far and away so much better than Chicago PD which I see almost daily when working in the city. CPD seems to have surrendered. NYPD doesn’t appear to have done that, at least yet.
Oh, and AOC and her ilk are getting PUMMELED here in public opinion. NYC has from what we see and hear, become a BUILD THE WALL Town. People here seem to have had more than enough.
Live from the ground in NYC and staying at the Marriot Marquis in Times Square,

Thanks for the report.
“The city is always changing,” Nadler continued. The one constant is that people from around the world want to come here to build a better life for themselves and we’re all better for that.”
There is an EXPLICIT threat here. He says the quiet part out loud; you are being replaced.
AOC , “ don’t worry we’re bring lots more Illegals to make the US better” , a Nancy thing ,LOL
There’s Fall foliage already?
Stupid democrat voters voting for even dumber democrat politicians who then implement the stupidest policies that make the stupid democrat voters angry.
We must ban democracy as a method for choosing people who make law. Most people are simply to stupid.
