Since April 2022, 110,000 migrants have come to New York, with 10,000 arriving a month, largely bused here to the Port Authority terminal by conservative leaders from border states like Texas, in a political dispute about border security.

The surge has forced city officials to open more than 200 emergency sites to house migrants, after its traditional shelters became overwhelmed. And schools are feeling the strain as well.

You seem like a very serious person who has thought deeply about this issue.

My favorite part is how I explained twice how Republican politicians are not interested in fixing this and you refuse to engage with it either time.

That's the conservative calling card: pretend like you've got everything figured out, and when the obvious flaws are pointed out to you just pretend like we're talking about something else.

Yes, I'm sure you're a very serious and intellectually honest person who just needs to switch topics for very good reasons other than having no rebuttal.
