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.

    So let’s hold hands and sing in front of some candles while some signs are being shown saying make any hiring or helping or even any conversing with illegal aliens a felony. Where will we hold this vigil?

      You seem like a very serious person who has thought deeply about this issue.

      My favorite part is how I explained twice how Republican politicians are not interested in fixing this and you refuse to engage with it either time.

      That’s the conservative calling card: pretend like you’ve got everything figured out, and when the obvious flaws are pointed out to you just pretend like we’re talking about something else.

      Yes, I’m sure you’re a very serious and intellectually honest person who just needs to switch topics for very good reasons other than having no rebuttal.

        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?

              I think we’re done here.

              I have no interest in “debating” with a meme machine.

                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.
