    Sure, the federal government should be providing more anti-poverty resources generally to city county and state level governments, we’ve chronically underfunded those services for a long time and have a lot of deficits to make up there. What we don’t need is that dogshit legislation and these executive orders that essentially just give money to border patrol to harass and brutalize desperate people and try to make our immigration courts into even more of a rubber stamp for xenophobic bullshit than they already are.

    Also, Eric Adams is a lying rat bastard who’s had it in for the homeless and poor people for decades, so anything coming from nyc.gov about the teeming masses yearning to breathe free shouldn’t be taken at face value.

      I was near the Roosevelt Hotel last week. The whole block looks like a concert just ended. I’m very pro-immigrant and migrant. This isn’t on them, it’s on the government to provide assistance. The government is providing zero Federal support, because border security hasn’t passed since before our immigration shifted to mostly migrants, so the bill is completely on the sanctuary cities. You just don’t understand how the government works, or in this case, doesn’t.
