82% of NYers call migrant influx a serious problem, 58% want to stop the flow: poll

A whopping 82% of New York voters said the unrelenting influx of migrants to the state is a serious problem — and a strong majority now say it’s time to “slow the flow”, a new poll released Tuesday revealed.

“New Yorkers – including huge majorities of Democrats, Republicans, independents, upstaters and down-staters – overwhelmingly say that the recent influx of migrants to New York is a serious problem for the state,” said Siena College pollster Steven Greenberg.

The Siena College survey found that 82% of voters said the surge of migrants to the Big Apple and the rest of the Empire State is a serious problem — with 54% of respondents saying it’s a “very serious” problem.

Only 16% of voters said it wasn’t a serious problem.

New York City and the Empire State have long backed sanctuary policies to aid asylum seekers and other undocumented immigrants who came here illegally looking for better opportunities.

As I just said of Austin, TX:

Eventually, a town gets what it voted for.  Too bad, so sad.  Meh.


So, dear NY'ers, consider this:  Maybe in the future, DON'T VOTE FOR DEMOCRATS/LEFTISTS!?!
