NYC Makes History as Illegal Immigrants Outnumber Locals in Shelters

You have to hand it to New York. I mean under the aegis of pioneers like Kathy Hochul and Eric Adams, New York is on track to completely annihilate itself with the possible exception of some precincts upstate and maybe some areas closer to Pennsylvania. For the most part, New York and its largest city seemed to be engaged in the age-old classic game of “Stop Hitting Yourself.”

But in this case, no one is forcing New York to punch itself in the face. It’s doing so of its own volition. And while I thank God every night that I do not live in New York, I also have to admire the commitment the governor and mayor have made to their kamikaze style of governance. Sure, they’re doomed, but they’re all in. You just don’t see that kind of dedication anymore. You have to respect that in a Dali-esque, William Burroughs, Marx Brothers kind of way.

NYC has come to an important moment in its history. For the first time, illegal immigrants outnumber actual residents in the city’s homeless shelters. No matter how much the Left will try to convince you that everything is cupcakes and balloons (much like Kevin Bacon in the parade scene at the climax of Animal House), New York City is overrun and overwhelmed but is still enjoying the view from high atop a pole on its own petard by which it has hoisted itself.

From NBC New York:

The tipping point took place Sunday, when 50,000 migrants were in the City’s care, outnumbering the 49,700 local shelter residents.

Among the takeaways: the NYC shelter system has essentially doubled in size, due to the influx, mostly from Latin American countries including Venezuela, Ecuador, and Colombia.

Additionally, sheltering asylum seekers is more expensive. Without work permits, many asylum seekers cannot pay for basic necessities. They are not entitled to all the same public assistance benefits as citizens, and for migrants, the city is not collecting its usual share of shelter costs from the state and federal governments.

If ever one needed a reason to celebrate 🎉

What is the inner city for tourist? Or, as I’m asking, High School choirs going there. Is it safe for them?

Is it History Week?

The truly needy should get first dibs on the shelters, like this man....

The fuse has been lit...
Only a matter of time when the usual Gubbmint Titty Slugs realize they’re getting less because of ILLEGAL Aliens. Will be interesting to see LibTaint reaction to war in the streets between their two biggest Voting blocs.

When are the Dems going to declare illegal immigrant pride month?

Why would you cheer for the demise of an American city?

[Cobra64]

For all those cheering and clapping for the demise of an American city, cheer up, it’s eventually coming to your town as they migrate throughout the nation like cockroaches.

It’s just a matter of time.

[JonPreston]

It’s not an American city, it’s a 3rd world cesspool. The political ‘leaders’ along with the zombiefied citizens who vote D at a nearly 90% clip, killed it. No sympathy and absolutely no regrets for leaving it in my rear view mirror decades ago.

Keep sending them. The more the merrier. Let those liberals get the diversity and economic benefit of those illegal aliens.
