The wonders in New York City’s government has spent some $4.88 billion on means of support for illegal aliens “migrants” in the city over the two years ending with the end of FY2024.
Imagine the benefits to the city’s residents and to their city’s economy were those billions of dollars spent on a couple of alternatives:
- increased policing with more cops on the beat, and/or
- increased prosecution of criminals rather than releasing them on no bail, and/or
- recriminalizing misbehaviors like shoplifting, vandalism, assaults
Even [trigger alert] leaving some of that money in the hands of city residents through tax rate reductions.
