New York City’s high crime rate and taxes are still displacing large numbers of residents, but City Hall pretends that’s okay — because they’re being replaced by illegal immigrants. seriously?
About 78,000 New Yorkers got out of Dodge last year, and the city’s population fell to 8.26 million, according to new census data.
hang on! Urge City Hall: That doesn’t take into account the 64,600 immigrants who were inundated.

Democrats can’t continue to ignore what’s keeping people away: crime-ridden roads and subways, schools that aren’t in session, and the ever-rising cost of living.
And that City Hall pretends that the flood of immigrants will somehow change that situation for the better only adds insult to injury.
