Unstable, strung-out homeless weirdos have swarmed large parts of Manhattan’s West Side, littering streets with needles and menacing locals and tourists alike — and there’s no help in sight.
The invasion of homeless, mentally ill and drug-abusing people is a full-blown “humanitarian crisis” greeting millions of tourists and office workers who arrive in Midtown and its highly trafficked surrounding neighborhoods, wrote Councilman Eric Bottcher in a recent letter to the mayor asking for aid.
“Our neighborhoods need help right now,” he wrote. “The status quo cannot be allowed to continue.”

West Side wackadoos — including one dead-eyed junkie wandering with a needle sticking out of his hand along 36th Street near bustling Penn Station — were out in force as The Post visited the neighborhoods over the past two weeks.
A bedraggled security guard, who only gave Fisher as his name, said he sees doped-up derelicts do drugs “all day and all night” in the public courtyard at the Midtown Holiday Inn hotel along Eighth Avenue’s infamous “strip of despair.”
“It’s crazy out here,” the battle-weary Midtown security guard, 50, said.
Homeless, mentally ill and drug-abusing people are a full-blown “humanitarian crisis” on the West Side below Central Park, said one pol. Stephen Yang for the New York Post
“They even have sex out here on the benches. They pee and defecate here.”
Entire swaths of the West Side, including near Washington Square Park, the West Fourth Street subway station in the West Village and the Garment District, are “particularly dire,” Bottcher wrote.
Stretched-thin NYPD precincts in the area are buried in endless calls about open drug sales and use, destroyed property, menacing acts of physical and verbal intimidation, shoplifting and...

Build the wall
Deport them all
Who cares? The moron majority will vote Rat, no matter what...
Sounds like Seattle.
They GOT what they VOTED FOR!!
Mentally ill ,drug abusers...IOW, the Biden family.
Seems like an internment camp in a remote area of the southwest might be an idea worth pursuing.
Gee, how did that happen, said no one, intelligent, anyway.
Biden got 86.4% of the vote in Manhattan, so boo-hoo.
“...and menacing locals and tourists...”
Locals=dumb, tourists=dumber.
At a Dec 2017 presser, then-Sen Kamala Harris fumed
<><>she tyranically warned Americans not to say “Merry Christmas”
<><>because permanent status was needed for illegals who came here as children.
<><>Kamala trooped out speakers who pushed for the Dream Act,
<><>Christmas was verboten b/c a pathway to citizenship for illegal minors came first.
“And when we all sing happy tunes, and sing Merry Christmas, and wish each other Merry Christmas, these children are not going to have a Merry Christmas. How dare we speak Merry Christmas. How dare we? They will not have a Merry Christmas,” Harris nagged in a video obtained by Fox News Digital.

Reference: A 10-month investigation Scripps News uncovered that every year, thousands of migrant children disappear from their homes shortly after arriving in the U.S. But there is no clear local, state or federal government agency taking responsibility for searching for many of these missing ...Apr 2, 2024
This is so bogus-——the kids arent missing, they are loaned out, passed around to other migrants. to be used in lucrative scams to get tax dollars from S/S and hefty disability checks.
Vindictive Biden overturned Trump’s order to get the DNA of these so-called needy families, to make sure the kids are really theirs.
A common practice by these greedy illegals is getting a crooked doctor to say a kid’s autistic b/c they get hefty SS tax paid benefits every month for the kid.
The maximum possible disability benefit for autism in 2024 is $943 per month for SSI and about $3,822 per month for SSDI. These maximums apply regardless of what condition you have or whether you apply with one condition or multiple. The actual amount received depends on specific circumstances. (Dec 7, 2023)
Disability Living Allowance (DLA) is a key benefit for children under 16 living with disability, including autism. It is assessed according to care needs, and a diagnosis is not required to make a claim. DLA helps cover the extra costs of raising a child with a disability. (Jan 30, 2024)
And it’s a sure bet they invent their “family circumstances.”
Plus senior illegals collect S/S without ever working here and not putting a thin dime into the system.
Says the councilman. I wonder what his stance was when NY proclaimed its Sanctuary status? I wonder what his reaction was when folks on the border called for help,year after year?
I hope it’s not like this at Carnegie Hall. I may be going to Carnegie Hall in October.
And Harris will probably exceed that!
> Build the wall Deport them all <
That is absolutely the first step. No city (or country) has the money to help its vulnerable citizens AND house and feed hordes of illegals. It’s one or the other.
Like most Democrat hell-holes, NYC chose poorly.
Then leave. And the bums should leave. I hear Mexico is nice right now, and when Fall comes so does snow in NYC. Send them to sunny Mexico!
When democrats are in charge of anything humanitarian crisis is the normal mode of things.
You will have nothing and you will like it.

Media approved
Karl Marx has been cloned and often.
So what would AOC reply if asked about her solution with decarceration of inmates, defunding of police and abolition of ICE?
How would Kamala "reimagine" it all?
All of whom would fit the profile of the delegates to the Dem National convention.🎈🎈🎈🎈🥳😎🤓🥴😵
This is part of a play for tax money paid from citizens in areas other than New York City.
