Five Billion Dollars: Here’s how much the Biden-Harris open border policy has cost New York taxpayers.
That’s right: in just 25 months, until July, Gotham Over $5 billion According to the city’s own figures, the costs of relocation include $2 billion in housing alone.
And the astonishing numbers are: double By July.
New Yorkers, including Mayor Adams, boast about their welcoming of newcomers.
But there’s a limit, right?
This astonishing three-year figure of $10 billion is Twice That’s how much the NYPD spends each year.
Think about how many more police officers, firefighters, and teachers we could hire.
Oh, and these expenses don’t include the huge losses to businesses due to their location near unregulated migrant shelters and hangouts, or the loss of tourism because a fifth of our hotels have been converted into migrant housing.
Or the cost of immigrant crime itself: In the past two weeks alone, police have arrested three illegal immigrants in the city on suspicion of rape.
Yes, New York’s strange rules, such as those providing shelter on request, play a role.
But none of this was happening before Biden and Harris took office, ushering in a wave of migrants they call “La Invitación” at the border.
And it’s not just a New York City problem. The House Budget Committee is trying to reduce the cost to the state by up to $1.2 billion through May. $400 billion Under a Biden-Harris administration, as many as 10 million border crossers will arrive at the border.
This onslaught won’t end when Biden leaves office in January, and it won’t end after Harris wins in November.
As Biden himself has noted, her policies are perfectly aligned with his own.
(In fact, she is even more progressive, though she has dropped the “abolish ICE” talk.)
No, the only hope for New York, and for America, is for Harris to distance herself as much as possible from border policy.
Either she doesn’t get into the White House, or the people of New York will have to watch as more billions of dollars disappear.
