New York City pols caused migrant crisis - now data prove it crushes poorest

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. NY Post Editorial Page Executive Editor Sam Munson shares this story.
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.

And this is why the right can't figure out why Independents won't budge. Just as callous, condescending, and brainwashed as the left. The largest voting block is non-voters. Love to claim that it is the party of morals, tradition, and pro-life. Then turn around, and victim blame the citizens as if everyone is in a political cult like they are. The ridiculous part is that since the cults have trouble grasping that there are viewpoints and alignments that aren't in a second grade soccer game who are too busy acting out the Spiderman meme, to realize that it is the Independents who are deciding this election as with the last two. Why do you think Independents are actually being mentioned this time around? And since both groups are too busy being nasty, insufferable, brainwashed, and divisive instead of actually trying to convince anyone of anything,Independents and centrists are left sitting on the fence, if they even choose to vote at all or choose someone else. Now I am choosing someone else. I was even planning on voting for Trump until the Baltimore bridge collapsed when the so-called party of morals and life resorted to making conspiracy theories and comments like these. With complete disregard for the devastation it brought and the 250,000 people who are economically harmed. Which would have been a great opportunity to reach out and show they were better people, but we got conspiracy theories and disdain instead. So if your team loses, you aren't victims. You voted for it!
