Yep, hear it from New Yorkers who have to deal with the illegal aliens....
Snip
“And they’re begging. They’re going door to door.”

“They’re outside of Kings Plaza. They’re outside Walgreens, 7-11, Speed Way, begging, begging, begging. They can’t get enough back here.”

“They get food, clothes. We provide them with everything. We don’t even provide our own homeless and emotionally disturbed, our veterans.”

“So we have got to come up with a plan…and we are working on it so that by January 1st, we’re gonna force this issue. This begging has got to stop. They should not be permitted to beg. The city is not disciplining them.”

“There’s no structure there. No rules or regulations. And we’re gonna force the city to do their job. Stay tuned.”

Gateway Pundit. Absolute rubbish. No credibility.

You may as well take my word that I know a few people in NYC, and I was there a few months ago, and everything is hunky-dory. A very limited sample size, but at least it's better than Gateway Pundit.**



**And you shouldn't take my limited sample size as gospel, either. Just to be clear. But it's better than GP.

Please stop bothering me with your nonsense.
You are getting the news your left wing news outlets do not report on lest it reveals old man Biden look all the more stupid than he already is.

Well goodie for you. I was born and raised in the heart of Manhattan and I dear say I know a few more New Yorkers than you and there you have it, “a very limited sample size. You know nothing.
It breaks my heart to hear the hell-hole my hometown has turned into.

**And you shouldn't take my limited sample size as gospel, either. Just to be clear. But it's better than GP.

“The Gateway Pundit Wins Most Trusted Print Media at The American Liberty Awards!”
Snip
“Journalists and activists across truth-telling media, were commemorated Saturday night at The American Liberty Awards in Austin, Texas.
The Gateway Pundit won “Most Trusted Print Media” and was nominated alongside other booming news organizations that have sustained amid Big Tech’s unprecedented censorship against conservative media and the truth.”

Does that mean you left NYC before 1970 or were born after 1985? Manhattan was not a very nice place in those years.

Most trusted doesn't mean they tell the truth. YOU trust them. Others do. So they are "most trusted". Whoopdie-doo.

How many Pulitzers do they have? How are they rated on accuracy? (I'll give you a hint: terrible.)

Stop bothering us with Gateway Pundit nonsense. It's a waste of our time.

Give Giuliani credit, he did clean up the town. (Before he apparently went insane.) I understand there was some legally questionable stuff, but I've been twice the past few years, and Manhattan was great. Walked around, took the subway around...everything was relatively clean and lively. Good food, lots to see. I can't speak for the other boroughs as we didn't go there. And we never lived there (which is a different experience than visiting).

I think it means that any place that leans a little liberal is a hell-hole.

Then why don’t you just hit “Next” and stop wasting both of us our time?
If you have something to add to the content of a post instead offering nothing
but the same ol’ criticism, do me the favor and don’t bother to reply.

I couldn’t care less if you like or dislike which site I chose to quote from.

The problem is some post contents hits you in the gut with the truth and angers you
so you criticize the source.

Hmmm......that's an interesting response. Because if you yourself put your demand into practice and eliminated every post "offering nothing but the same ol' criticism," your posting frequency would drop dramatically.

Yes, she projects a lot.

Straight from NYC government: https://www.nyc.gov/content/getstuffdone/pages/asy...

The problem is a real thing, just not as portrayed in the shouty right-wing birdcage liners: https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/migrants-face-...

https://www.nytimes.com/article/nyc-migrant-crisis...

Since this is a pay-site, I'll excerpt:
“While New York City will continue to lead, it’s time the state and federal government step up,” Mr. Adams said at a recent news conference.

As the city struggles to respond, Mr. Adams has also begun to discourage migrants from seeking refuge in New York City. In early October, he traveled to Mexico, Ecuador and Colombia to meet with migrants and spread the message that New York City “has reached capacity.”


And what Adams has been saying (back in April):
https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/19/nyregion/adams-...
As New York City was inundated with asylum seekers bused from the border last year, Mayor Eric Adams cast blame on the Republican governors of Texas, Arizona and Florida.

But when the cost to feed and house the migrants quickly escalated, Mr. Adams shifted his ire to the federal government, pressing for more emergency aid, and to allow asylum seekers to work legally.


And, yes, he did single out Biden (last spring), and continues to do so. Which is mostly in error, because Biden doesn't control the purse strings. Congress does. I think he could pull a few levers (like FEMA), but that would probably be a misuse of those funds. NY state is considering allocating funds to the city (though hasn't done so yet, I don't believe).

And now Mayor Adams is under scrutiny for possible campaign shenanigans. Apparently it isn't the first time Adams has endured probes into his activities, even when he and Biden were buddies.

Per your article..
“Migrants face eviction from emergency shelters in New York City as holidays approach
Nation Dec 16, 2023 6:37 PM EST
NEW YORK (AP) — It could be a cold, grim New Year for thousands of migrant families living in New York City’s emergency shelter system. With winter setting in, they are being told they need to clear out, with no guarantee they’ll be given a bed elsewhere.
Homeless migrants and their children were limited to 60 days in city housing under an order issued in October by Mayor Eric Adams, a move the Democrat says is necessary to relieve a shelter system overwhelmed by asylum-seekers crossing the southern U.S. border.”

It appears Mayor Adams is doing all he can possibly do, it is not enough, there is no more room,
there is not enough money. Yet you blame Congress when their hands are tied too.
Place the blame where it belongs-> President Biden rescinding Trumps border policies that helped keep in check the illegal alien massive flow into America!

No matter what any of left has to says in support of Biden, he is the one who issued the executive orders to in essence open up our borders....You all come now, go wherever you want, everything is free for the asking.
Yeah well, tell that to Mayor Adams and the people of Chicago.

Meanwhile liberals in the Chicago and Arizona suburb's or the rich enclaves of NYC like Greenwich Village, NoHo, Hudson Yards don’t have to deal with inner city problems nor live there. They actually don’t have a clue what’s going on where the average wage earner live and where illegal aliens are now being housed begging for food and money in their once nice neighborhoods.

Snip
“Mr. Biden signed 17 executive orders — including six immigration-related directives — shortly after being sworn in on Wednesday as the country's 46th president. The Department of Homeland Security also announced it would implement a 100-day moratorium on deportations for immigrants in the U.S. facing removal, and suspended the Trump administration's policy of requiring non-Mexican asylum-seekers to wait in Mexico for their U.S. court hearings.”

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/biden-immigration-exe...

But oh the horror a lib is given factual information on Biden’s open border crisis from a conservative leaning newspaper or news outlet. 🙄🫣 It’s a lie I tell you, it’s not a reliable source, so says a liberal blog founded by a liberal and run by liberals.
Tune in to CNN and Morning Joe, they will give you the honest liberal skewed facts.

Biden owns the border and has for 3 years. Cries if Trump this and Trump that 1) aren’t relevant and 2) don’t change the fact that…Biden owns the border.

Meanwhile, the education of blue cities and blue states continues. Woke policy failures from defunding police to legalizing hard drugs (or quasi-legalizing them, for you sticklers for details).

And with this… an education of the price that other people sometimes have to pay for blue virtue signaling.

You really shouldn't make generalizations when you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Neighborhoods like Greenwich Village, NoHo, etc certainly include very wealthy residents. But there are also a great many of us who have been here for a very long time, before the high-cost apartments were created. And in neighborhoods with long history (unlike newly-developed Hudson Yards), there are also residents who were born and raised in these neighborhoods, and remained here. And we travel around the city. And many city problems spill out across the city. If you want to talk about "rich enclaves," the one neighborhood that might fit this is the Upper East Side, which has always been an insular home to the wealthy. But even that doesn't mean that many people there are not aware or concerned about the problems others are facing here.

You have no idea what you're talking about (nothing new).

And I can tell you that I'm so glad you no longer live here. It's people like you who only make such problems worse.
