NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — President Donald Trump’s tough talk on immigration is reverberating in New York’s melting pot.

As CBS2’s Brian Conybeare reports, false stories about widespread immigration sweeps are going viral across social media and creating a climate of fear.

It looked like a ghost town inside the Mexican restaurant run by Cesar Rodriguez along Port Richmond Avenue on Staten Island.

“It has been very slow,” he said.

Rodriguez said his business is down more than 50 percent since bogus reports of widespread Immigration and Customs Enforcement checkpoints at places like subway stations started popping up on social media. One warned people they could even be stopped on the 6 train.

“Because everybody’s afraid to come, everybody’s afraid to walk on Port Richmond, where there’s been fake news about raids,” he said.

Stories About ICE Sweeps & Checkpoints Spark Fear In New York’s Immigrant Communities (NYC)

In the beginning, there was THE PLAN

And then came the assumptions.

And than came fear and uncertainty among the scofflaws, criminals and evil-doers.

And they began to leave - to return to their foreign homes or to invade other countries.

And when they saw that THE PLAN worked there was happiness and jubilation among good citizens throughout the land.

And their cheers echoed from the cold concrete canyons of New York to the warm folded hills of California:

Anything that strikes fear in illegals and motivates them to self deport is ok by me fake or not.

“With so much confusion and fear on the streets, scam artists posing as ICE officers are targeting immigrants in Woodside, Queens, demanding cash and threatening deportation.”

And Brooklyn Bridge sales are down as well.

I am so totally in the wrong business....
