JAMESTOWN, NY — In this small town — about as far as one can get from the southern border without entering Canada — residents are bracing for an influx of migrants that could cause a crisis similar to the one that has New York City facing a fiscal cliff.
“If a city of 8 million people can be overwhelmed by a couple thousand migrants, imagine what a couple hundred can do to overwhelm a small rural community upstate?” warned state Sen. Joe Borrello (R-Jamestown).
“It wouldn’t take many migrants to overwhelm the system,” he added.
At least 35 migrants from Colombia are known to have arrived in the tiny upstate city

Here’s their 2022 election results. Very R for Gov and Senate race. Definitely NOT what they voted for.

I have lived in Upstate NY for several years. It puzzles me how 'migrants' from a country like Columbia will survive in a place like Jamestown. And for how long?

Take it up with your newly elected governor. Don't be surprised if she does not answer the phone.

The name of the borderline game that Biden and the leftist and socialist Democrats have been playing is to flood the USA with as many poor, socialist oriented, and uneducated illegal aliens from undeveloped Third World countries as possible, who coincidentally fit within the minority group categories of Democrat identity politics. To legalize them through a series of Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesties and legalization programs, looking to eventually grant as many as possible U.S. citizenship and of course most importantly to the Democrats, future US voting rights in the years ahead. With the leftist and socialist Democrats believing that the vast majority of those poor, socialist oriented, and uneducated people will form new permanent minority underclasses across the USA that will embrace the “woke” leftist and socialist Democrat political agenda, will easily transform into future leftist and socialist Democrat supporters and voters by the tens of millions in the years ahead, and in coalition with other categories of peoples included in the leftist and socialist Democrat identity politics will become in essence a minority-majority electoral and population demographic in enough places across the USA to keep the leftist and socialist Democrats in permanent political power.
That has been supercharged by Biden’s “open borders” and “catch and release” schemes that encourage and invite unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to unlawfully enter the USA and with the assistance of a big number of Democrat aligned nongovernmental organizations (NGOS) that are being funded by the Democrats using taxpayers money to then facilitate those illegal alien’s transportation to the interior of the USA to Democrat run sanctuary cities and places like Jamestown, NY, all in violation of the immigration laws passed by Congress. Along with Biden publicly recently announcing that he considers what amounts to entire Third World surplus populations that would like to resettle in the USA, that number in the billions, to be analogous to the Jewish people who fled Nazi persecution before and during the Second World War, and as such are eligible for asylum in the USA, and therefore must be allowed to gain entry to the USA “because that’s who we are” a statement that is certainly ridiculous, and shows that the clear and ultimate objective of the leftist and socialist Democrats is to use unlimited numbers of illegal aliens to help transform the USA into some sort of future “woke” socialist utopia. In order to do that, the leftist and socialist Democrats must first permanently change the electoral and population demographics of the USA to what they believe will be a new minority-majority electoral and population demographic to their great political favor, and a big part of that, and an example is to turn enough of the USA into a situation that Jamestown, NY is facing, to become a town that will in the near future suddenly wake up and find that the future population of the town will be a minority-majority demographic consisting of both domestic and foreign origin minority peoples who most likely will support and vote for the leftist and socialist Democrats. That’s the leftist and socialist Democrat grand plan for a lot of US areas and cities. Remember in that respect Barack Obama has said that the population demographics of a country determine its future destiny, and clearly the leftist and socialist Democrats are engaged in permanently changing the country’s demographics through mass uncontrolled illegal immigration using the fraudulent and ridiculous guise that all poor, socialist oriented, and uneducated foreign peoples from the Third World have in essence been effectively persecuted and are eligible for asylum in the USA . Clearly the wimpy Republicans are scared to death if they enlighten the American public on those leftist and socialist Democrat electoral and population demographics change plans that the Democrats will call them out as racists.

Deport these illegal aliens, do not cater to them. Make their lives miserable here, make it very difficult for them to live, make them unwelcome. Make them self-deport.
Do not hire them.

If you think the millions you have allowed into Texas in Texas, think again. Millions more coming your way. Have a nice day!

Until about 2000 Jamestown was 50/50 Swedish/Italian...very few other ethnic/racial/minority folks. Median earnings are only about $23k there, and women outnumber men by 20%, boys tend to move away to find Jobs elsewhere. Cummings Diesel did open a plant there, about 1500 workers, replacing the former "Furniture" manufacturing jobs that had been lost over the years(Thanks Ikea). A hefty number of the jobs are seasonal, servicing the resort home folks around the Lake, the fall Peepers, and even Govt jobs...a good bit of Upstate'rs have road crew jobs they "share", some work during the summer months doing road repair/mowing etc.Take the winters off....to be replaced by others who drive snowplows during that period, and schoolbus drivers Surrounding areas are either state forests or Dairy Farms....the dairies have been hit hard economically and are dying out. Unless you are milking 1000head in confinement barns with contracts to Wal-Mart/Chobani there is no way to survive. The Farms being sold as second homes/hobby farms/hunting camps to City folks.

Other than a couple of single term Repubs, the mayor there has always been a Dem...The mayor before this one(Elected in 2022) was in office for 20 years. City council however has been mostly repub. maj.

A pole barn or two. Baloney sandwich, water, sand, tarps, burn barrel heat and let everyone know they are under arrest for illegal trespass.
