The immigration crisis is worsening

New York City is now in a state of emergency as just .007% of the total number of immigrants that flooded into the US across the porous southern border so far this year have now relocated to that city. When will American politicians move to put an end to the crisis?

NYC Mayor Declares State of Emergency over Influx of Illegal Immigrants

New York City mayor Eric Adams declared a state of emergency on Friday in response to an influx of migrants arriving in the city.
Adams said at least 17,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city by bus from other parts of the country since April.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott began busing migrants from the Lone Star State to New York City and Washington, D.C., in the spring.
Abbott previously said he decided to send busloads of migrants to Washington, D.C., and New York City “because of President Biden’s continued refusal to acknowledge the crisis caused by his open border policies,” saying that “the State of Texas has had to take unprecedented action to keep our communities safe.”
“In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted about within the sanctuary city,” he said when the first bus arrived in New York.

Funny, someone else said we just reached net zero migration, which happens to be the truth.

When you take a bunch of people from different locations and push them into one place, what do you think happens? Do you think that wins you guys some kind of point? You're vile and willing to sacrifice another life to 'own the libs.' You're further from being the embodiment of a US citizen than any single migrant crossing a border right now.

National Review, by the way.

Something is pushing immigrants from all over the world to travel to Mexico and walk across the southern border of the US. Because the southern states are already completely saturated with homeless and jobless immigrants the overflow must be moved north. There is no other option.

Would to God Biden and his democrat cronies finally come to their senses and recognize what a huge crisis their immigration policies have created.

If they had stayed in their own countries maybe they would have improved them.

All humans are squatters on property owned by God. Squatters have built nations and squatters have destroyed nations. Illegal immigrants are not destroying America, care for them is breaking the back of the American welfare system.

@marke "Property owned by God." Please.

Illegal immigrants put money into to system; not a one is eligible for social services. So try again, bigot.
$492 billion dollars in total taxes in paid in 2019 alone.

God gave the land of Judea to the Jews for a perpetual inheritance. Do you not believe God can give His property to whomever He pleases?

@marke You're speaking from a book you cannot corroborate or verify, so... here's goes. "The Forces of the Universe made real through muses offered utopia to mankind to be enjoyed by all forever." Book of Universal Truth.

Both are nonsense.

No. Illegals in America are paying well below $492 billion in taxes. The number is likely closer to $20 billion in taxes and those taxes are more commonly for consumer goods and services, not income taxes.

Do Illegal Immigrants Pay Taxes in the U.S.? Yes, and Here's How

BY RACHEL CURRY

While it might sound counterintuitive to the stories many Americans have heard, the fact remains that undocumented immigrants do pay U.S. taxes.

Here's how the process works and where the money goes, if not to the undocumented immigrants themselves.
Undocumented immigrants are paying billions in annual taxes.
According to the ITEP (Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy), undocumented immigrants paid about $11.74 billion in state and local taxes in 2017. The process has been going on for about 25 years.

Of that $11+ billion in tax revenue from undocumented immigrants, the majority of that comes from sales and excise taxes. The second-highest category is property taxes, while income tax makes up the rest.
About 50 percent–75 percent of undocumented immigrants pay an income tax rate of 8 percent to the U.S. government


However, illegal immigrants are costing the US in healthcare more than $300 billion a year.

What Illegal Immigrants Cost Our Health Care System
Posted Friday, November 4, 2016 | By The Association of Mature American Citizens | 27 Comments
from – HealthZette – by Robert Tenery

The number of people living illegally in the U.S. is said to be well over 11 million, although some estimates are as high as 30 million. With the recent deluge across our southern border, the numbers are rising daily. People skirt the system once they’re here, blending into communities unnoticed much of the time.

These are the “squatters” of American society. They enjoy the privileges — and many of the benefits — earned by those who reside here legally: protection from harm, emergency medical care, public education, and automatic citizenship for children if they are born in the United States. The cost to the American taxpayers of 11 million illegal aliens is estimated at $346 billion annually, according to the National Research Council.

Who owns property if not God? The thugs with the biggest guns? The ones with the oldest ancestors? The ones who claim their ancestors were the first to set foot on the land? How much would that first settler own? The whole of a continent? Does Neil Armstrong own the moon?

You are right. All of that is nonsense. God owns the property and He gives it to whomever He chooses.

Nobody owns anything. It’s man-made construct. @marke

Don't be silly. The Jews own the land of Judea. Americans own America. And God owns everything and everybody.

Remember to make peace with God now before He reclaims your body and spirit that He gave you.

Ecclesiastes 12

1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:

3 In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,

4 And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;

5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:

6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.

7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and
the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
