Since April 2022, 110,000 migrants have come to New York, with 10,000 arriving a month, largely bused here to the Port Authority terminal by conservative leaders from border states like Texas, in a political dispute about border security.

The surge has forced city officials to open more than 200 emergency sites to house migrants, after its traditional shelters became overwhelmed. And schools are feeling the strain as well.

    You said your point was something wasn’t being done, I said let’s do something to get it done. I’m sorry if you don’t actually want that thing done, my mistake for assuming you meant what you said.

      And here I thought your philosophy was

      Being intentionally obtuse doesn’t help anything

      But Republicans always think they get a special exception, so that tracks after all.

        But they don’t do it.

        Which is my point.

        So to be clear, you do or don’t want it to be illegal to hire illegals?

            No just a yes or no, you either can or can’t answer the question. You said that was your point, that they don’t do it, so don’t back down now, unless you want to rethink your position.
