The City That Never Sleeps Is Waking Up To A Living Nightmare
How It Started
In 2016, New York City decided to become a Sanctuary City. Manhattan Community Board 10 had decided to take a stroll down the sanctuary city path with its Immigration Equal Protection and Sanctuary City Resolution. In a city known for its bustling streets and ‘melting pot’ charm, they had rolled out the red carpet for a whole new level of inclusivity. The resolution had been like a warm, welcoming hug for migrants, with Harlem’s rich tapestry of history serving as the backdrop. Because, as we all knew, nothing said ‘fair and just society’ like bending over backwards to accommodate those who sidestepped the usual entry queue.
This resolution hadn’t just been a statement; it had practically been a love letter to the idea of sanctuary cities. It had been a grand plan to ensure that local law enforcement focused on, well, local issues, rather than getting tangled in the sticky web of federal immigration laws. The New York Civil Service Commission, in a stroke of genius, had decided that high school diplomas and English proficiency had been merely optional for state employment. Because who had needed communication and basic education in the workforce, right?
But wait, there’s MORE! The resolution had called for a speedier federal approval process for work authorizations, because nothing had solved a labor shortage like adding more steps to an already lengthy process. And while they had been at it, they hadn’t forgotten the ambitious goal of convincing migrants to move upstate—because, apparently, the hustle and bustle of NYC might just have been too overwhelming compared to the serene charm of upstate New York. So here’s to the Immigration Equal Protection and Sanctuary City Resolution—because in a city that never sleeps, who had had time for things like due process and traditional employment standards?
They Chose This.
In 2022, New Yorkers cemented their decision by electing with a wide margin Kahty Hochul over Lee Zeldin.
How It’s Going
New York Governor Kathy Hochul seems to be pioneering a revolutionary approach to employment—why bother with the locals when you can fill those pesky 10,000 job vacancies with migrants?
The New York Civil Service Commission, ever so accommodating, is streamlining the process, making it a breeze for migrants to jump into jobs. Who needs proof of a high school diploma or English proficiency anyway? It’s all about speed and filling up those 4,000 entry-level slots across state agencies pronto!
Governor Hochul, in her infinite wisdom, assures us this is a win-win. Get this: by plugging migrants into roles from clerical work to fixing things and serving food, we’re not just giving jobs away; we’re supposedly easing their burden on the taxpayer’s dime! What a novel idea—filling vacancies and reducing reliance on public funds simultaneously! And let’s not forget, New York Mayor Eric Adams is on board too. He’s particularly thrilled about solving that critical lifeguard shortage—because when you think lifeguards, you naturally think of migrant workers, right?
But here’s the kicker: coaxing these migrants to head upstate is turning out to be a tougher sell than a snowblower in July, with a whopping 100 takers so far. And let’s talk about cutting through that red tape to get work approvals processed.
With about 67,000 individuals eagerly waiting in NYC alone, we’re not just talking about filling job openings; we’re practically revamping the state’s entire workforce! So, while the private sector scrambles to fill 40,000 positions, our leaders are busy ushering in a new era of employment. After all, why prioritize local New Yorkers when you can roll out the red carpet for a brand-new workforce?
Woke Priorities
The evolving stance on illegal immigrants in New York has also led to some concerning issues. There are reports of shoplifting gangs roaming the streets and calls for allowing them to go free without bail. Meanwhile, the focus on sanctuary city laws seems to hinder efforts to combat violent criminals.
It’s clear that New York’s priorities have shifted, and there’s a growing divide between the approach towards illegal immigrants and law enforcement.
Free Reign to Immigrants
A clip that highlights the problems of illegal immigrants flooding the streets of New York, becoming roving bands of shoplifting gangs, aired on CNN earlier:
But what is the solution to these thieves?
Let them out without bail:
In fact, NY seems to ONLY want to punish those who do right, as this gal gets it:
You can tell they were appreciative, too:
But at least the DA cares…right?
Mayor Eric Adams ADMITS that it’s those SANCTUARY CITY laws that are preventing them from solving the problem of violent criminals:
In Fact, it only took a handful of migrants to bring the city to its knees…
This was after some 10,000 migrants came to NYC (in total), which is a far cry less than poor El Paso sees in a regular month.
But that’s how these fasci-idiots roll… virtue signal so long as you don’t have to lift a finger.
(I’m pretty sure this is why most democrats are very pro-TAX, but often give significantly less of their own money to charity, and with less frequency than their Republica Counterparts.)
Oh…okay…well, what if we give them MILLIONS of dollars… that’ll help…right?
In fact, this lead to a PROTEST last night by the NYPD, who went on a very visual strike right through they heart of NYC.
Okay Groomers
Meanwhile, beyond prioritizing letting violent criminals beat up police officers and steal goods from NYC and transport to and sell them in Florida, NY is also making sure that the castration/sterilization of minors is a thing:
Where We’re Going…
Amidst these changes, there is hope for a different direction. Figures like Lee Zeldin provide an alternative perspective and suggest a potential shift in New York’s stance on illegal immigration.
One thing is for sure. The Situation Currently Is Broken.
