New York State has 670,000 residents who are illegal migrants – including 42,300 undocumented restaurant employees and 48,500 undocumented construction workers, an eye-opening report released Thursday said.
The report from the liberal-leaning Fiscal Policy Institute revealed an underground economy of migrant workers in the Empire State, where 1.8 million residents are non-citizens that may also include green card holders.
In total, there are 4.5 million foreign-born residents of the state, the report said. (Photo)
The data in the report — released as President Trump vows a crackdown on illegal immigration — revealed:

Those 670K illegals have quite an impact in New York's political clout since they are included in the census numbers upon which Congressional seats are apportioned to NY's relative influence in Congress.

Soooo NYS went after Trump with multiple bogus lawsuits and a bogus convictions and he should be concerned about NYS economy? Why? NYS has attacked my president and has no compunction whatsoever about it. If Trump should ruin the NYS economy by eliminated its near slave labor as NYS crumbles, I don't care. Screw NYS and its crazy citizens. There are 49 other states that have hope for the future that isn't based on illegal slave labor. Well maybe not 29 with Californistan, Illinois, Washington, Oregon, Mass and Vermont. But people are fleeing those Communist regimes in droves.

Wait a minute! Don't employers have to get validation from each new hire that the new hire is a US citizen or legally documented to be able to work in the US?

Well, maybe New Yorkers will have to start eating at home more often. What I always remember when reading articles about illegal aliens is that it costs American taxpayers more than $110,000 to educate a single child K-12. And, that we are already more than 36 Trillion Dollars in debt. I don't care how much it costs to deport illegals because it costs so much more to pay for education, food stamps, housing, their almost always unpaid emergency room and other hospital and medical bills, and now blue states are offering "free" legal services to help illegals avoid deportation. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore.

Finding them is not like a "needle in the haystack". Just a casual profiling and what are the odds of connecting them?

670,000 is a population about the same as Washington DC as a whole, a larger Population than Nashville, Denver, Detroit.
How much will rents, leases, condo, house, prices drop with 670,00 new vacancies?
What is the effect on currently overcrowded and under performing schools?
What is the effect upon overcrowded and under performing medical and health providers?
What is the effect upon depressing wages?

I thought it was illegal to hire illegal aliens. It used to be.

670K is almost exactly the number of people which represents one more seat in Congress. So, deport them and NY state loses a seat in Congress.
That's almost certainly a Dem seat lost.

Take a tip from the movie Frankie and Johnnie. Just walk into a restaurant and yell "immigration!" and arrest whomever runs for the door.

The wimpy Congressional Republicans should address the issue of illegal alien populations being counted in the US Census for Congressional redistricting purposes. Common sense will tell you that should not be allowed to occur. As the 101% politically partisan and cognitively deficient Biden who has been essentially a puppet for the leftist and progressive Democrats have been loading up their so-called sanctuary cities and other areas they control with millions of illegal aliens. Intending that those illegal aliens be counted in the next US Census thus causing the redistricting of enough Congressional districts and seats into those sanctuary cities and areas where leftist and progressive Democrat candidates are bound to be elected to those redistricted Congressional districts and seats, thus giving the leftist and progressive Democrats permanent majority control of the House of Representatives. You have to ask if the wimpy Republicans even have a clue!

So now if their parents want to have places to eat out in areas like Park Slope and Williamsburg it looks as if their teenagers with names like Isabella and Jayden will have to go out and work a job.
