The Concern: Migrants who obtained free well being care, meals, college provides and telephones from the town.

The unabated stream of unlawful migrants crossing our southern border is inserting an immense burden on American cities (“Land of the free,” Aug. 22).

The humanitarian and financial ramifications have gotten alarmingly daunting. The complexity of issues stemming from this seemingly never-ending, unplanned-for debacle will undoubtedly develop in intricacy.

These migrants are receiving a copious quantity of freebies. In the meantime, destitute American households are left to fend for themselves, not even being afforded the benevolence given to the unlawful migrants.

Coupled with all the opposite consequential issues we face, one can surmise that America is on the precipice of catastrophe.

Why is New York Metropolis taking higher care of migrants than of our personal US residents?

We've got former army and US residents in homeless shelters. They need to put the migrants within the shelters and transfer our personal residents into the luxurious lodges. One thing could be very mistaken right here.

The Put up headline says all of it. Below Mayor Adams, New York Metropolis is now handing migrants free telephones, free well being care and free college provides.

It has been simple for blue cities and states. Now the entire nation can watch as New York Metropolis will get overrun with the issues that locations like Texas and Arizona have confronted 10 instances over since Biden and the Democrats determined to open up our borders to anybody wishing to enter.

Now Democrats and their media friends need Abbott’s buses to cease rolling into the Large Apple. Issues are getting too tough for them to deal with. Nonetheless, they received’t point out the position of the White Home and the Democrat-controlled Congress.

It was solely when Gov. Abbott turned New York right into a border state that they started to fret about our out-of-control immigration insurance policies.

As a retired and law-abiding 65-year-old citizen, why ought to I be answerable for offering something to anybody who enters the USA illegally?

I paid my taxes, labored full-time, raised my kids, paid for his or her faculty tuition, paid my payments myself and complied with all legal guidelines.

I'd by no means reward somebody who comes into my dwelling uninvited — who would? But we're anticipated to sit down by silently as our cash is poured out to buy new telephones, free lodging, well being care and education for anybody who appears like strolling in although our open southern border.

Sufficient is sufficient of this lunacy. The place are the representatives who nonetheless bear in mind they have been voted in to safeguard the perfect pursuits of their constituents and never the occasion line? Get up and do one thing.

My mother and father got here to this nation legally over 70 years in the past, wanting nothing greater than a possibility to work and lift a household.

Like many others, they obtained and anticipated nothing free. How unfair that right this moment persons are rewarded for illegally coming into and that the federal government is allowing such abusive conduct.

How can these new arrivals have any respect for a authorities that fails to implement the legal guidelines?

Let me get this straight: New York Metropolis’s streets, sidewalks and subways are brimming with homeless and mentally ailing people who're all in dire want of help, but we’re giving lots of of migrants cozy lodge rooms, cell telephones, well being care and college provides to make sure that their keep right here is nothing in need of welcoming.

If we’re going to have a “useful resource and household enjoyable day” for these individuals pouring in from the border, the town hospital system, mayor and governor ought to open their blind eyes to these standing proper in entrance of them who may additionally use slightly succor.
