[We Never Know]

Is there a migrant crisis? New York City says yes.

Adams Weirdly Says Migrant Crisis Will ‘Destroy New York City​

"Let me tell you something, New Yorkers. Never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to. I don’t see an ending to this. This issue will destroy New York City,” Adams said. He warned that “we have a $12 billion deficit that we’re going to have to cut. Every service in this city is going to be impacted.”

I love how illegal aliens have become migrants.

With regard to the OP, I think New York is getting a taste of its asinine policy of being a so-called "sanctuary city". Another well-thought-out policy position. *rolls eyes*

Your country has has an immigration problem for a very long time, no question about that. The question is what to do about it.

It makes little sense to build a wall around New York.

 

[fantome profane]

I love how illegal aliens have become migrants.

And others refer to all immigrants as illegals.

Who?

I love how illegal aliens have become migrants.

The 110k people arriving in NYC specifically are all asylum seekers who arrived and went through the legal processes so yes they are legal migrants.

Care to explain beyond a laugh react how they are "illegal"?

 

[fantome profane]

Who?

@YmirGF, just now. But I have found it fairly common.

I'll let you know when I've managed to stop laughing at the mental gymnastics involved. (It might be a while.)

My apologies. I keep forgetting that the sea of people flooding across the US southern border are not doing so illegally.

Besides, you are conflating things for your own effect. I never mentioned immigrants, as immigrants are, by default, legal and have gone through proper channels. The term, for those in the slow lane, "illegal alien" was a pejorative term used to describe those who actively thwarted a countries' immigration policies. It was never intended as a nice term.

This term has given way, in recent years, to the warm and fuzzy term, migrant, even though the vast majority of "migrants" enter given countries by illegal means. My guess is that because there are so many lawbreakers that it isn't feasible to arrest them all and put them through the court system, hence give them a benign sounding name like "migrant". Sounds like a travelling work-person. Do they bring their own tools?

They get what they deserve for bragging on how great a sanctuary city they have and can handle things.

I'm not shedding one tear for the morons running things there.

Omg! Your definitely lost in dreamland.

I'm glad it's happening.

Let those big mouth braggart morons squirm.

Hasn't New York been seeing waves of immigrants, and nativist opposition, for a couple of centuries?

I keep remembering that they're traveling across country that used to belong to them.

Something something "send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me" something something.

I don't think the majority of them are Mexican, mostly they are coming through Mexico, but they are starting from South America.

Majority Mexican, but large and increasing numbers from Guatemala, Honduras, Cuba, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Haiti.

*Trying to make this sentence actually make a lick of sense....*

Does that apply to the "migrants" moving through Europe, as well? I don't think too many North African's have much of a claim to the Champs-Élysées, but they could give it a go in court, I suppose. And a tiny correction is in order. The country they are crossing belonged to their ancestors, not to them, personally. A fairly important distinction lest people get too carried away.

We're talking about the U.S. in the OP, are we not?

You referenced the southern border of the U.S., did you not?
