This is a really good deal because immigrants are so good for the economy.
You see, immigrants live on welfare, which means the government has to give them money for everything. Then, they spend that money and it goes into the economy. That’s money that wouldn’t have been spent at all if the immigrants didn’t spend it.
We can really strengthen our economy a lot by getting more and more of these people to spend money that we gave them.
This is econ 101.
New York City is shelling out roughly $8 million a day to provide shelter for 37,500 migrants, officials said during a city council meeting Monday.
On average, the city is projected to spend an average of $256 to house each individual migrant per day in Department of Homeless Services shelters, Park said. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott began busing migrants to New York City in August and is expected to increase the transports following the end of Title 42, the Trump-era expulsion order.
“We are facing an unprecedented humanitarian emergency,” Park said.
The city is mandated to house all homeless people, according to Bloomberg.
“Most of the emergency shelters are in hotels, where we’re paying a per night room, negotiated room rate. We’re not paying what any of us would pay if we were booking a hotel room, but it is still relatively expensive as compared to our typical shelters, where we either have a nine or a 30 year contract so that the real estate costs are contained somewhat that way,” Park said.
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams has indicated he will begin busing migrants out of the Big Apple to nearby suburbs that have come out against the move. Before that, Adams was busing some migrants to communities along the northern border.
These diverse vibrants are like hot potatoes!
Greg Abbott sending these people to New York was such bullshit. Firstly, Greg Abbott can’t even walk, so I don’t know how he’s a governor. Secondly, New York is in America, and you can move freely in America after you cross the border.
Why doesn’t he send the immigrants back to Mexico? Instead it’s this cutesy “let’s see how the dems like their own policies,” and then this guy can own the libs all from the safety of his wheelchair.
He should be sending them to Mexico. It’s certainly closer, it’s also where they are from.
But Greg Abbott refuses to take a stand. Imagine that.
