But you did vote democrat ...Don't complain .. No meat for you and get that mask on peon

I get your point and normally I would agree with that. But being that this thread is about Staten Island residents.

I just want to point out that in the 2021 election for mayor, Staten Island went Republican.
Republican Curtis Sliwa won Staten Island.

In the 2020 Presidential election, Staten Island went Republican.
Donald Trump won Staten Island.

Just thought I'd mention it.

"I think this issue, I think the Governor's wrong. She's the governor of the state of New York. New York City is in that state. Every county in this state should be part of this. We have 0.05 of the land mass in this state, and we have almost 99 percent of the migrant asylum seekers," Adams said.

IMO the only counties that should even be considered (at the very most) for relocation are the "blue" counties. And there are not many of those when compared to the number of "red" counties in New York State.

The "red" counties did not vote for this. This disaster is the Democrat's fault.
The Democrat voters should suffer the direct consequences for their voting habits.
Not anyone else.

They shouldn't be shipped anywhere but back. The rest of the state didn't vote for it, even the blue areas. NYC declared itself a sanctuary city. NY did not declare itself a sanctuary state.

This is a self inflicted NYC problem. Their mess, not ours. They invited them, they can keep them.

I agree, that's why in my post I posted "be considered (at the very most) for relocation"
In other words, nothing beyond a consideration. I'm not the best at putting my thoughts into text.

But from what I can tell New York State is unfortunately a sanctuary state.

NEW YORK

The Empire State became an illegal alien sanctuary on the basis of a September 15, 2017 executive order signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D), which covered state agencies, but not local law enforcement.

The 11 Sanctuary States in the United States

Sanctuary policies are those followed by towns, cities, counties, states, and other jurisdictions that restrict most forms of cooperation with federal immigration authorities.

Good.
Local law enforcement should round up these illegals and either incarcerate them until the feds pick them up, or ship them back to wherever they came from, all on heil hochul and asshat adams' dime.
And, while they're at it, swear out arrest warrants for anyone involved in their being sent to NY, especially adams, hochul, biden, etc., for "aiding and abetting".

I agree. Sheriffs are voted in by county residents. Most counties don't want the illegals so their sheriff's department should be enforcing the laws.

While I don't agree that taxpayer money should be spent on illegals, all the blue counties that voted these idiots in should get stuck with the invading horde and the issues that come with them.

Calls for Staten Island to secede from New York City

Malliotakis renews calls for Staten Island to secede from NYC as migrant crisis fury grows

“I hear all the jokes all the time that they would love to get rid of Staten Island, well, this is your opportunity. I think Staten Island would like to have an opportunity to self-govern.”

nypost.com

"Staten Islanders are renewing calls for a breakaway from the Big Apple — with Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial call to bus migrants to a local shuttered Catholic school proving to be the latest breaking point."

Send enough politicians there and the "migrant crisis" will solve itself.

See above comment.
Having it tip over would be a good thing.
