Rob_Cesternino 08/31/23 2:21:06 PM #1:	https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/3/2/0/AADIf0AAEzNQ.jpg https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2023/08/the-staten-island-protests-against-eric-adams-and-migrants.html In the most high-profile eruption of public anger yet, hundreds of furious protesters flooded a quiet residential street in Staten Island on Monday to demand the closure of a shelter that holds barely two dozen migrants. For two hours, one speaker after another attacked Democratic lawmakers, raised the specter of the supposed threat that migrants might pose to women and children, and shook the cobwebs off the perennial demand for the borough to separate from the rest of the city. If youre not going to do your job, Mr. Mayor, then let Staten Island secede, Representative Nicole Malliotakis said to raucous applause from the crowd. The protest came on the heels of an escalating series of combative citywide scenes over the past week as people took to the streets to protest the presence of migrants in their communities. Three arrests were made at a protest on Friday outside the shelter, and a scuffle between an anti-migrant demonstrator and counterprotesters outside Gracie Mansion on Sunday ended in five arrests, including that of Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa. --- Stop asking me if I'm Jessica Simpson.

SiO4 08/31/23 2:33:01 PM #10:	I doubt too many of them are New Yorkers. I mean FFS New York City it's New York. What would New York be without immigration? It's one of the most diverse cities in the world. And has been for Centuries. They should be protesting the human trafficking that certain states are allowing. These fuck faces are probably eating at places in the city that have a kitchen staff full of immigrants or second gens that are just trying to survive and take care of their families. I shouldn't get upset, because I don't buy into the 'protestors' intentions....but it does piss me off.

Hochul basically told Adams to go fuck himself and that NYC is on its own. The Biden administration was like "our assessment seems to indicate you fucked up. Sorry, we can't really help" Shelters popping up everywhere, school starts in a few days and they need to find resources for 30k new kids and the city and DOE is not even really cooperating. The school bus system is about to go on strike as well. Housing is absolutely skyrocketing since there's no more room. Even the black market of prior undocumented and other migrants have are having to compete with thousands of more people. SiO4 posted... I doubt too many of them are New Yorkers.

In fact, many of those empty apartments are rented by no Americans and an investment. Though it is also true, that work from home has freed up a lot of office space. Immigration is not what is taking this country down. If anything it's propping it up, and it's always been that way. Sure, if you want to stop it, and spend $10 on a single tomato that was shipped 3000 miles from California in January, have at it.

Legal immigration doesn't. People continuing to come in with no end in sight and stressing the infrastructure amongst tons of other things definitely does hurt. Your tomato example is pointless as well as those industries are fast tracking into automation, and it's same exact type of shit slave owners were saying to defend the cotton and tobacco industries during slavery.

Which is crazy, and shows a real flaw in the system. And if you want a bunch of cheap bruised up Tomatoes that travel 3000 miles, have at it.

Already my country is flaunting international law in the name of keeping the migrants out. By the way this flaunting of international law has not kept the migrants out. What is next? Oh, right. Let NYPD collect anyone suspected of being a migrant. Let NYPD go anywhere it needs to go to grab suspected migrants. / / / Dumb Butt Protesters.
