Not surprisingly, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York reminded everyone that he is a man from the left. This is what he said as he started a third term:
The promise that attracted 5,000 people a day from across the globe to come to this sacred place through this historic portal on Ellis Island is not a faded memory of yesterday, but a shining beacon for a better tomorrow.
Nowhere to be found in Cuomo's energetic homily was the word "legal," an omission clearly calculated to obscure the distinction between controlled lawful immigration – Ellis Island as iconic portal to America – and the unremitting border-dashing that has made immigration an incandescent political and social issue.
Let me recommend to Governor Cuomo that he watch the Ellis Island scene in Godfather 2. My guess is that U.S.-Mexico border agents would love to have the orderly process that those new arrivals had to go through.
As Governor Cuomo runs left, we learned that fewer and fewer New Yorkers were around to hear the speech. According to news reports, New Yorkers want out:
New York's population continues to decline faster than any other state, according to new data released Wednesday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The report found New York was just one of nine states to see a decrease in population, losing an estimated 48,510 residents between July 1, 2017, and July 1, 2018.
That's more than any state.
Illinois saw the second largest population loss of 45,116.
So why are they leaving?
It's not the weather. Yes, New York has bad winters, but nobody leaves for that reason.
The real reason is taxes and more taxes.

The Union as we know it with our states is crumbling. We are resembling what the former Soviets/KGB theorized with “disintegration”.
Evil arrogant scumbag!
Ugh. Every bit as pompous and ponderous as his old man. I guess it's a mob thing.
Notice he YELLS instead of talks, like he's giving a speech for the ages. UGH
Yep. He’s unbearable.
we’re running out of places to run to.....
Got to be tough to be Mario - all his kids are much more like Fredo than Michael
Right! I left NYC when my 2nd child was born in 84. Worked 2 years for Eastern Airlines in Miami and then left to go to Orlando and did consulting work for 2 months there. I was then offered a Job up in long Island and stayed there for 2 years and then went back to Florida. What prompted me to leave NY for the 2nd time? The fact that I saved more $$$$$ in the 2 months I was working in Orlando then the 2 years I had been living in NY again (and was earning a greater salary then in Orlando also). Visit NY? Sure. Live there? Hell no!
“You would be welcome in Missouri. We just kicked McCaskill to the curb, the state’s budget is balanced, our taxes are low. Come on in, the water’s fine.”

Well put and of course true!
