Four fifths of New Yorkers say the recent influx of migrants is a 'serious problem' for the state, with many calling newcomers a 'burden' and souring on President Joe Biden's Democratic Party.
Fully 82 percent of Empire State voters said the stream of some 100,000 asylum seekers was a concern, and more than half of them — 54 percent — said it was 'very serious,' a Siena College poll shows.
When asked about the settling of migrants in New York these past two decades, nearly half of respondents — 46 percent — called them a 'burden' on resources. Less than a third called them a 'benefit.'

Oh NO! The stupid sub humans who live in NYC don't get a pass on what they have done. Joe Biden is a boat anchor around their necks, I hope it drags them all into the pit of hell.

Donald Trump had the problem solved, but they didn't like his tweets.
Now they have illegals which is what they voted for.
Them and the horse they rode in on. I simply don't care about New York.

Democrat-Communist leaders...not to worry. Next election voters will return to office the same politicians approving the massive influx of illegal aliens and smiling when companies pack up and leave New York. Same applies to Illinois and California. These states are a lock for senile Joe and courtesan Kamala. Cheating elsewhere will make the 2024 election a cakewalk for Marxists seeking entrenchment in power. Judges, of course, will continue in the "get out of my courtroom" mode to challengers of the cheats.

How sanctimonious they were declaring themselves a “sanctuary.” I still hear Andrew Cuomo thundering on about being “the progressive capital” of the country.
How mighty were their derisive put-downs of conservatives!
Actually, what is unbelievable is that they apparently didn’t think, didn’t know, that their progressive leaders would destroy even them, eviscerate their precious “sanctuaries” without a moment’s concern.
Too bad. The exodus of money, business and working people from NYC is epic. Poor, poor idiots.

Trump simply wanted to shore-up the border barrier and wanted $5 billion to do it.
Democrats wanted the talking point instead of wanting to solve the problem or improve the process.
Now, they may be upset in NYC, but it only matters if you vote for someone other than the people you've elected in the past 4-6 years. Especially if you would vote Republican.
Otherwise, you don't get their attention and nothing will change/improve.

WHO cares?? Let them live with the filthy disaster. They keep voting for this as they have for decades. There is nothing and no one to feel sorry for in NYC. I seriously doubt that place will ever return to a semblance of civility. It's all like the third world hell hole I came from: nothing but filthy rich and filthy poor, and corrupt ruling classes that keep it that way.
Disgusting.

What a bunch of complainers for a state with maybe 5% of the illegals that Texas has. We need bigger buses to send 10 times more.

Gee. I wonder if even 10% will change their votes to vote for the man who HAS ALREADY closed the border one time, and substantially increased the amount of real, physical barriers against the illegals invasion?
Not much chance, I judge. Stuck on stupid.

82% WOW! "Start spreadin' the NEWS"!
Migrant influx a serious problem?!
It IS when they are on YOUR DOORSTEP NYC.
Burden on resources was obvious long before you noticed the "newcomers." ???
Your "clown-mayor" just figured THIS out?
But he's a DEMOCRAT.

If demonrat politicians burned out the eyes of the lunatic N'Yawk voters with hot pokers - - they'd still get all of their votes.
There's no fix to stoopid - - and deluded N'Yawk voters are way beyond that.

And according to my poll:
82% of Americans say New Yorkers are a 'serious problem' for the country.
54 percent — said it was 'very serious '.
Nearly half of respondents — 46 percent — called them a 'burden' on resources.
Less than a third called them a 'benefit.'

Politics, meaning leadership, has become saturated with incompetence and results in immaturity and infighting. All the while, we Americans have to watch this spectacle with embarrassment knowing full well New York voted for it.

#23, Maybe New Yorkers just like to complain. There is no other reason except maybe insanity for voting for your own destruction. I see lots of complaining but no one ever says, I am done with democrats. They would rather live in violence and chaos than te for a Republican.

How was the survey taken? How many participants were there? If 82% of all New Yorkers were surveyed, they must have started the survey several years ago and are just now completing it. Maybe they asked only one hundred people and 82 of those didn't want the stream of ''asylum seekers.'' What a quaint way to describe illegal alien invaders! A better survey would be ''How do you rate this current mayor?''

And yet they voted Adams in, even though his actually residency in NYC was in question and he held a police desk job. Even worse is the election of Governor Kathy Hokul, a woman with serious questions already on her plate, because they couldn't bear to vote for a Republican, Lee Zelden, who would have actually managed the State well. I don't have a lot of sympathy---it is as always: the rich will simply move or order more private security, and the poor will pull the Democratic lever without thought. You get what you vote for.

The illegal problem existed back when they voted for that POS mayor and governor. As long as it was the southern states taking the hit, they had no problem with it. Now the problem is at their doorstep. The problem created by THEIR party. So, suck on it.

Some people need to be knocked down and beaten in the head with a 2x4 before they begin to see the light. New Yorkers take even more than that but it's amazing when 82% of them can agree on anything. They voted for Daddy Bloomberg and Mother de Blasio who took them most of the way down the path to destruction and finished it by bringing in Bongo the Fancy Dancer who wanted the position and the paycheck but not the responsibility. Now that the illegals have become a worse problem than the rats and the roaches they are taking notice but will not change their voting practices.

This situation is what my sainted mama used to say is just dessert...New York got what it wanted...a democratic mess...and mayor Adams is busy partying and dressing up for the starlets...he only cares about what's in it for himself and his friends...he has plenty of security and a great residence...and all the government money he and his family and friends can use....sorry New Yorkers...you're out of luck....

IIRC, Mayor Adams was elected by only about 250,000 votes. Which means that about 7.75 million of the city’s residents didn’t bother to vote. You not only get what you vote for; you get what you don’t vote for.

They could have helped themselves by sending Lee Zeldin to Albany, but a majority chose not to. I hope they remember this the next time.

If people were taught to assess the consequences of their immigration policies, or lack of same, maybe they would not be so quick to offer themselves as sanctuary cities which always turn into pig styes. NOW they want the "burden" to go away? They should have thought about that in 2020.

The reason that Biden (Obama) and the leftist Democrats have effectively done away with the borderline with Mexico is that they intend to flood the USA with 3rd world poor and uneducated foreign peoples who fit within the minority group categories of Democrat identity politics. Who the leftist Democrats believe can easily be transformed by way of Democrat designed “path to citizenship” amnesty programs to become future leftist Democrat supporters and voters who in return for all sorts of U.S. Government provided goods, new rights, and services will embrace the leftist Democrat socialist oriented political agenda by the tens of millions.

Are we talking about the entire populace of New York or just those that live in the big city? Because I frankly think we should send more illegals to NY City and cut off the bridges. NYC dominates the state anyway so they should feel it. They asked for it, they wanted sanctuary, they should walk the talk. Seal up the mayor and the bureaucrats and the police in there. All of them ASKED for this. Then hold an election for the rest of the state of New York to decide the fate of the city.
Didn't think you'd ever have to live the words you spat at the rest of us, did you, Leftards????
