In a recent video shared on YouTube, the New York Post sheds light on how progressive policies in New York City have led to a migrant crisis that is disproportionately impacting the city’s poorest residents. Data reveals that three out of the five NYC zip codes with the highest concentration of migrant shelters are located in some of the city’s poorest areas, such as Jamaica, Queens, and East New York, Brooklyn, where the median incomes are below $37,300.
With migrant inflows exceeding 200,000 since the start of the crisis, these communities are feeling the strain on city services, which have already cost nearly $5 billion and are expected to rise over the next two years. The influx of migrants not only puts a financial burden on the city but also significantly diminishes the quality of life for residents in these areas.
One example highlighted in the video is Long Island City, Queens, where 12% of the 193 shelters hosting over 65,000 illegal immigrants in city care are located. These shelters surround public housing projects, further exacerbating the challenges faced by residents in the area.
The narrative presented in the video emphasizes the need for a closer look at the impact of progressive policies on vulnerable communities in New York City. As the migrant crisis continues to unfold, it is crucial to address the disparities and hardships faced by those living in some of the city’s most impoverished neighborhoods.
