Issue is that suburbs outside of NYC are not growing rapidly and can’t due to zoning restrictions. NYC has the deciding political power in NY State.
This is most definitely a LIE promoted by the media to make illegals seem needed. Suburbs outside of NYC have been brimming with whites and blacks fleeing big cities largely because of the explosion in numbers of mexicO's zillions. So much that there is already a housing crisis all across the state.
But the plan all along is to pack all small towns with the fruit of mexicO and destroy in particular the last enclaves of white America.
