Gonna share some perspective here - as someone who moved from a southern state to NY, you guys are getting a taste of the problem. If you want to sort it out, accept that the rhetoric, the talk, is just talk. Either co-sign a means to solve the border issue, or accept that this talk of being a sanctuary city means you have to finally carry your weight.

I love how diverse where I came from and where I am both are, but the adults in the room need to acknowledge that there are no means on hand to house and care for the thousands of migrants coming every day. If you’re one to disagree, opt in to the solution on a moral and personal level. Donate, volunteer, and open up your homes.

It’s a legitimate crisis and the echo chamber people here in NYC live in is utterly unproductive. You’re getting a taste of the problem and you see on this sub how quickly the rhetoric is changing. I’m all for taxing people their fair share, but what about electing to solve the actual problem? We can quibble over nomenclature some other time, but until people here acknowledge that they’re driving the problem, those buses will keep coming. There’s no moral outrage that’s justified when someone asks a migrant if they want a bus ticket to New York and they say yes.

You guys created this part of the crisis, it’s time to walk the walk. Figure it out.
