NYC comptroller shockingly says every Big Apple migrant should get a free lawyer — paid for by taxpayers
 
New York City Comptroller Brad Lander has drawn outrage for claiming that giving each of the tens of thousands of migrants pouring into the Big Apple free legal representation could net billions in economic benefits for New York state.

Lander’s office said in a report that coughing up individual lawyers to rep migrants could prevent roughly 53,000 asylum seekers from being deported across the Empire State — resulting in an estimated net benefit of $8.4 billion for local, state and federal governments.

“Access to work authorization leads to higher wages. The higher earning power generates more tax revenue. Higher personal income also benefits the economy through increased consumer spending,” the report said.

I wonder how much the ABA "donated" to his re-election campaign to endorse the report? *hmmmm*

Let them pay for their own out of the generous disbursement of taxpayers' money already given to them.
