Ah yes New York, a city of immigrants where checks notes we have no manufacturing sector or low skill labor market big enough to absorb South American migrants and all our real estate is being gobbled up by the Chinese noveau riche who built their wealth after we sent them all of our jobs lol

Unfortunately I think some of these migrants will end up doing off the books work that benefits restaurants.

Yeah, they’ll probably end up taking over more jobs like dishwashers, porters, illegal contractors, and delivery guys, all at lower than a fair price or even minimum wage. While most people will get reap some benefit for the product of their labor it almost certainly has to harm everyone to basically import a bunch of scabs who will gladly put up with unfair or unsafe working conditions and never make a peep to fight for fair pay when the price of everything continues to go up up up

I sincerely think that we should be accepting of asylum seekers who have been or would be persecuted for their race ethnicity ability creed sexuality gender, but literally most of the fuck up in this law is that everyone knows now that you can hop a plane or get to the border and just declare “asylum” when actually you’re just another immigrant trying to make money to send straight out of the country and burdening the economy because no state taxes corporate entities enough to build a welfare surplus solely based on non-individual taxation, which is why many people are quickly turning on these people while we get the brunt of inflation, no rent relief, dwindling housing, inability to buy, no opportunity to save, paying individual healthcare, grocery prices increasing, and Joe Biden owes me $600 for his fake out second pandemic check
