sanctuary city is fine, the problem here is they are getting the costs very wrong. $363 daily/$10,890 monthly per immigrant doesn't sound reasonable at all, and it's significantly higher than the living expenses for the majority of us NYC residents.

Anyone saying "small price to pay" is not looking at the details enough or asking enough questions. There is absolutely no reason to believe these ridiculously high costs are just what they are, and that there's no inefficiency/waste/recklessness/corruption.

It doesn’t matter, taxes wouldn’t be any lower, and the city never spends money on anything useful anyways. De blasio slush fund, police lawsuits, cronies in city hall, spending 20x the normal price on a subway line. To me, it doesn’t matter whose pocket this money ends up in, hotel owners, Union bosses, Eric Adams, fuck you could even hand out 130k in cash to each migrant and my life wouldn’t change at all

But if you say “send them back” which is the actual solution you’re called a nazi, so when you think about it, is $4 billion a year that could obviously be better spent elsewhere such a big deal? Totally worth not being called an asshole, right?? That’s like the worst thing in the world.
