NYC pols fume as migrants keep getting dumped on one borough: ‘It’s like the third world’
NY Post ^ | 7/07/24 | Carl Campanile, Kevin Sheehan, Jorge Fitz-Gibbon

Queen pols are fuming that the borough is being overloaded with rowdy migrants – and are calling for other Big Apple neighborhoods to take their fair share of asylum seekers.

“It’s been a real challenge,” Queens Borough President Donovan Richards said Sunday. “Just because you have a loud voice and more wealth doesn’t mean you don’t do your fair share.

“What about Staten Island?”

The Post reported Sunday that the poorest neighborhoods in the five boroughs are taking a disproportionate number of the migrants flooding into the city – with Queens taking the brunt.

Queens is home to 70 of the 193 taxpayer-funded shelters – or 36% – being used to accommodate the more than 65,000 migrants still living in the city.

Long Island City alone has 23 government-run shelters, or 12% of the citywide total, with Jamaica and Briarwood housing 13 of the shelters in the borough.

More than 206,000 migrants have now passed through the city in all – with the number of arrivals now increasing back to about 1,000 per week, according to city data.

“We’re getting dumped on here,” said city Councilman Robert Holden. “How long can we sustain this? These shelters add nothing to the neighborhood.

They voted for Democrats.

They got illegal aliens by the truckload.

They earned it.

Staten Island is typically the red portion of NYC. Not sure about Queens.

“It’s like the third world” Imagine that, bring in Illegal Aliens from the third world, and you become the third world.

You need to get away from it all. Move to a rural Texas border town.

Zero sympathy. 2 weeks ago in the primary they overwhelmingly elected AOC who is the biggest supporter of the invasion, so to hell with that city and I grew up there. My old neighborhood in Woodside looks like a town in El Salvador now. Last time I was there was around 5 years ago and they had signs under the 7 train on Roosevelt ave. warning women not to walk alone at night as they risk rape.

Why oh why aren’t we hearing anyone say these two things?

1. Close the darn border NOW!
2. Send these illegals back from where they came or to some other country. They have NO right to be here.

My dad was born and raised in Queens. He told me that the immigrants who were coming there (1930’s) were very grateful to be here and wanted to be American citizens. The Italian’s would get mad at you if you spoke Italian to them. Dad spoke Italian fluently. Dad told me he tried speaking Italian to one of the neighbors and the man said he was an American citizen and he was insulted by a kid speaking Italian to him in the United States.

They just figured that AZ and TX would take them all in and leave the rest of the country alone. Fat chance, lol. How come we never hear about New Mexico getting inundated with these 3rd world peasants? Are they special because they’re a blue state?

Trump and other conservatives say it, but forget anything coming from the RINO party and Mitch McConnell. If it was up to me Biden would be immediately impeached, removed from office and tried for treason along with Blinken and Mayorkas. All 3 are domestic enemies of the USA as far as I’m concerned.

As part of a 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children “disappear” from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024 report.


This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.

Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.

A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.

The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)

Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)

And it’s a sure bet they “invent their circumstances.”

Check your party affiliation and who you voted for. Life is tough, it is even tougher when you’re stupid.
