Quote: 75% Of Midtown NYC Arrests Are Illegals; Veteran Prosecutor Blames "Pathetic" Sanctuary City Laws Wednesday, Sep 04, 2024 - 05:00 PM In yet another headline you won't see from corporate media, 75% of those arrested in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery, and domestic violence are migrants. Screenshot via @ViralNewsNYC In Queens, it's around 60%, the NY Post reports, citing police sources. On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law.
Quote: The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean New York cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases in which they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders. According to the report, the sanctuary city laws make it 'almost impossible' for authorities to handle the problem. "New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess," said Jim Quinn, a veteran former prosecutor at the Queens District Attorney’s Office. "The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy." Compounding matters, police sources say that word has gotten out among the migrant community about NYC's soft-on-crime policies which kicks criminals back onto the street quickly after they're arrested. And even if they do end up serving time, one Bronx cop told the Post: "They don’t care if they get arrested — they laugh if they get sent to Rikers. Where they come from, they get tortured in jail." The problem is so bad that Democrat Mayor Eric Adams has called on the City Council to change the sanctuary city laws - saying last week: "Right now, we don’t have the authorization to be able to go and coordinate with ICE. We have to follow the law." According to a NYPD spokesperson, overall crime may be down last year, however they confirmed that "police officers are prohibited from asking about the immigration status of crime victims, witnesses, or suspects and therefore the NYPD doesn’t track data pertaining to immigration statuses." "I would say about 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items," one Midtown officer told the outlet. He said the figure is an estimate because “you can’t be 100% sure [they’re migrants] unless you arrest them in a shelter or they’re dumb enough to give you a shelter address.” Another Manhattan cop said that excluding petty larcenies at drugstores, the number of local arrests involving migrants is “easily” 75%, noting that most who get caught shoplifting go more for the pricey branded goods. "They can’t be bothered with lower-end stores. They like Lululemon and Sunglass Hut," said the Manhattan cop, adding that migrants are responsible for "most" of the pickpocketing and similar crimes that the NYPD encounters. Meanwhile in the courts, "there are days we have so many migrant cases, we have to call in for extra Spanish interpreters," said one law enforcement officer at the Queens Criminal Courthouse. Another told The Post: "Come on Mondays! Almost every case is a migrant." Some of the crimes migrants are being arrested for include gang violence or vicious sexual assaults. Venezuelan migrant Yurlex Daniel Guzman Quintero was arraigned in Queens Criminal Court on Aug. 28, accused of a deplorable act of sexual abuse against his girlfriend in which he viciously choked her and held a knife to her head. Court documents allege it all happened in front of her child. The same day, migrant Dionisio Moran Flores was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court for allegedly raping his 5-year-old daughter. He was ordered held on $150,000 bail. -NY Post The Post also notes that Venezuelan prison gang Tren de Aragua, which has been terrorizing citizens around the country, has also set up shop in NYC and are already tied to hundreds of crimes - including the shootings of two NYPC officers who were trying to arrest a member in June. The gang has been arming up - smuggling guns into city-run shelters in food delivery bags in an effort to evade metal detectors. "Most of the people we arrest are professionals — these aren’t their first crimes," said one law enforcement source, who added that Biden-Harris open border policies combined with sanctuary city laws are responsible for the current situation. "Crime would be down significantly if there was a wall and we could account for everyone who comes into the country," the source told The Post. "And more importantly, throw them out if they commit a crime

Quote: Great Replacement Job Shock: 1.3 Million Native-Born Americans Just Lost Their Jobs, Replaced By 635,000 Immigrants Friday, Sep 06, 2024 - 09:27 AM At the start of the year, many months after we first pointed out that the biggest untold story of the US labor market was the "great replacement" of native born workers with foreign-born workers (most of whom we subsequently learned were illegal aliens), we asked how is it, that the ongoing replacement (because that's what it is) of US workers is "not the biggest political talking point right now" considering that "since October 2019, native-born US workers have lost 1.4 million jobs; over the same period foreign-born workers have gained 3 million jobs" Nine months later, we are delighted to see that our relentless efforts to bring attention to this critical topic finally worked, and the continued replacement of native-born workers with immigrants and illegal aliens was finally the biggest political and media talking point, as demonstrated by such articles as "How Immigration Remade the U.S. Labor Force" by the WSJ and "Without Immigrants, US Working-Age Population Would Shrink" from Bloomberg, both of which are an extension of the latest and greatest narrative, first spawned by Fed chair Powell, and then picked up by Goldman, which came down to the following: you can have (record) illegal immigration, or you can have even more (breakneck) inflation. So don't be angry, and just accept the roving gangs of Venezuelan murderers in your neighborhood, if you know what's good for you and if you want to keep prices low (the same prices which are only high because the government decided to inject $20 trillion in fiscal stimmies in the past 4 years). Which brings us to today's jobs report... where the native vs foreign-born debate just exploded! ... That, at least, was the quantitative view. And while that was mixed, there was no confusion in the picture painted by the qualtitative aspect of the jobs report. Here, everything was a disaster. Starting at the top, while the number of employed workers did rise by 168K, looking closer at the composition of this increase is disastrous: that's because it consisted of an increase of 527K part-time jobs, offset by a 438K plunge in full-time jobs.

Quote:Originally posted by BrownCoat1: SignyM, I want to start out by saying I generally avoid doing more than reading any of the posts in this area. I try not to post my thoughts in political discussions to avoid the running flame wars that normally accompany such topics. I say this so you and everyone else will realize just how serious a problem I think illegal immigration is becoming in the U.S. I truly that believe that illegal immigration is a serious threat to our economy & our way of life. I agree w/ what Fletch2 said: Quote:Originally posted by Fletch2: Well a more accurate quote is that they can't hire an American for the amount they are willing to pay. This isn't just a matter of the immigrant working for lower pay, by using undocumented workers employers can cut taxes, social security, insurance and other overheads from the equation that they couldn't legally do with an American. Businesses are always looking for ways to cut what they spend & boost their profits and one of those ways is to hire illegals. As Fletch said it allows these employers to pay a much lower wage, avoid paying taxes, paying social security, and eliminates benifits & insurance cost as these workers are undocumented illegals. This causes problems in that these are jobs that legal citizens of the U.S. can not get and many of these illegals send a good portion of the money they make back to their families in their country of origin. This of course is bad for our economy as money earned here is not being spent here. Another issue I draw w/ illegal immigration, specifically from Mexico, is that the Mexican government, especially President Fox, seems to fully support it. They even encouraged the printing & distribution of a comic book that details how to illegally enter the U.S. For Fox & his government it is a win-win situation as they get unemployed workers out of their country so they are no longer the responsibility of the Mexican government, and the Mexican economy benefits from the influx of U.S. dollars sent home to families left behind by these illegal immigrants. The U.S. government seems content to do nothing to stem the tide of illegals entering from Mexico either. The Minuteman project clearly illustrated for all of us how grossly unprotected our border w/ Mexico truly is today. Border agents patrol a border over 1,600 miles long with a relative handful of agents. In many places there is no wall or fence so it is merely a matter of walking across the border. Dubya is now working to push his amnesty bill through which will allow all the illegals here to stay. His private meetings w/ Fox at Bush's ranch in Texas just work to assure me that business, the federal government, and the Mexican government are all in this together. All of them will do whatever is necessary to put money in their pockets. I am not against immigrants coming here. Hell, all of us were immigrants at some point no matter how long our families have been here (unless you are native american of course), but I think they should become legal citizens, pay taxes, contribute to the community and all just as the rest of us do. There should also be a push to learn the english language to communicate w/ others effectively & for their children to interact in school. I don't think it is right that the rest of society should have to conform to their lack of desire to learn the common language. If I move to France to live you can bet I will learn french rather than expect everyone else to conform to me & learn english. I fully agree w/ what the Minuteman Project did & can only say I am saddened by how Dubya and his cronies responded to the public demand that something be done about our borders. He claims he wants to protect us from terrorists & is sending American soldiers off to die in foreign lands, yet he leaves our entire southern border completely exposed. That seem right to you? I look forward to everyone's comments. __________________________________________ "May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one."
