New York City pols caused migrant crisis — now data prove it crushes poorest
Opinion by Post Editorial Board • 16h
Yet again, hard data prove that progressive madness is smashing New York’s most vulnerable: Three of the five NYC zip codes with the city’s highest concentration of migrant shelters are among its poorest areas.
Zip codes covering places like Jamaica, Queens, and East New York, Brooklyn — with median incomes below $37,300 — are getting slammed as migrant inflows climb to more than 200,000 since the start of the crisis.
The migrant arrivals bring not only an increasing drain on city services (almost $5 billion through May 31 and set to soar over the next two years), they also drastically lower the quality of life.
Take Long Island City, in Queens, home now to 12% of the 193 shelters hosting the 65,000-plus illegal immigrants in city care — shelters clustered around two public housing projects.
Residents are afraid to take their kids to local parks because migrants reportedly use them as electric scooter racetracks and public sex dens.
