The average rent, per person, in NYC is $2k-$4k. I do not believe most people have the money to support migrants, and neither are most people planning their finances with that expectation that a larger portion of their income is going to migrants.
Remember even $120k is around $84k take home. Minus rent ($24k low end apartment rent), you are left with $40k (after 401k and healthcare). Adding migrant costs, what is the point of living in NYC at that point...
More social services, opportunities for work, probably a hell of a lot better living conditions than wherever they left.
Honestly, any real solution would need to be Federal. But gobermint bad, according to 33% of the population, and another 33% are too timid to contradict them.
I'm saying what is the point for the average New Yorker. The migrants are putting a strain on people who live in NYC legally, imagine out of the blue you are losing a huge portion of your paycheck in an already expensive city. Waves of migrants showing up in a city is unfair to the people.
How is the average New Yorker all of a sudden losing a huge portion of their paycheck due to migrants? Does their rent immediately increase? Do taxes unexpectedly balloon overnight? I don't see your point.
Let's see, hospitals are backed up, social services are overwhelmed, and supplemental housing is already full of homeless. Where does all this money come from. The mayor of NYC went to Mexico to beg people bit to come... pretty unprecedented for a city mayor to even be involved in foreign politics and Mexico isn't even where most migrants are coming from. It doesn't make you a bad person to think illegal migrants are bad for the economy.
