A stretch of Jackson Heights has devolved into an illegal migrant shopping district — an unchecked open-air market where everything from women to stolen goods can be had, The Post has learned.

Roosevelt Avenue near 91st Street is littered daily with migrant vendors hawking goods they ripped off from shopkeepers just steps away, while prostitutes proposition passersby at all hours — and frustrated merchants and residents say they’re helpless to do anything about it.

“It’s relentless,” said Milton Reyes, who manages Mi Farmacia pharmacy on the avenue. “You should see it on Saturdays. It’s so heavy you can’t even step onto the sidewalk. There are a lot of doctor’s offices right around here and my customers don’t even want to get dropped off.

“I’m not faulting the police,” Reyes added. “They will come by and they will pick up a few of them. But as soon as the police car pulls away they start moving back. Twenty minutes later they’re all set up again like nothing happened.”

There is really not much the police can do when the politicians, judges, and DA's just dismiss any charges and send them back to their sidewalk business. Why should the cops waste their time on the aggravation and paperwork?

Well, Sliwa wouldn’t have done a better job, he would have actually made the situation worse because he would have been browbeaten by the blacktivists and other social justice groups.

It’s Jackson Heights New York City and this filth is a step up from what it’s been for decades.

America’s “strength”! Deadbeats, malingerers, hookers, theives, thugs and all around sh*theads. Future Americans. They’re going to be having America’s babies too because “Americans” prefer to murder theirs.

This reminds me of an old Rush Limbaugh Parody:

There's a hold-up in the Bronx
Brokelyn's broken out in fights
There's a traffic jam in Harlem
that's backed up to Jackson Heights
There's a Scout Troop short a child
Khrushchev's due at Idlewild
General David Dinkins Where Are You??

[Alas Babylon!]

Is she hooking on Roosevelt Ave, too?

Give it a name like CHUD, or CHOP, maybe even ‘War on Wall Street,’ Have some liberal college students organize it, and some government funded nonprofit organizations back it. If they register voters in there, maybe they can get direct government funding. Create a problem and then there will be another government organization to deal with it.

Thomas Jefferson said “We get the government we deserve.”

Well, that’s unexpected!

frustrated merchants and residents say they’re helpless to do anything about it.

HELLO!

You are NOT helpless, just ORGANIZE and DO something about it!!

You VASTLY outnumber them!!!

So suppose a dame ain’t bright

Sailor:
Or completely free from flaws—
Or as faithful as a bird dog—

Seabee:
Or as kind as Santa Claus—

Soldier:
It’s a waste of time to worry
Over things that they have not—

Sailor:
Be thankful for—

All:
The things they got!

The meter matches perfectly. Well, if you are going to crib, its hard to beat Rogers and Hammerstein, though my favorite is “Carousel”.
