"why don't they just stay and steal in Florida? Because there you go to jail."

 

Listen to why they leave Florida come to New York commit their crimes and then go back to Florida.

John Miller, 5:00:  There is this one-percenter criminal element that looks at a different opportunity here.  These individuals--I went over their rap sheets yesterday--have multiple charges: grand larceny, robbery attempted.  It's a crew that operated on mopeds and scooters.  They were doing organized retail theft.  They were doing snatches on the street.  They'd take iPhones, iPad, clothing, and so on.  And one of them that they are still seeking has 10 charges on one day because he's part of a pattern that's been going on.  And I'm looking at the dates that their arrests started which is probably close to when they got here.  They've only been here a couple of months. So what the detectives are telling me is they have crews here that operate in New York, do all their stealing here, and then go to Florida and spend the money and and then come back.  And I'm like well why don't they just stay and steal in Florida?  Because there you go to jail.  

Nate the Lawyer, 5:55:  Now these migrants are out on the street after beating up two cops because of bail reform. But that's not the end of the issue because then you would say, well, why can't we deport them right then after they're beating up our law enforcement officers?  Well, that's because New York State and New York City is a sanctuary City and a sanctuary state, meaning that the local officials will not report these gentlemen to ice they will not report these gentlemen to Federal authorities so they can be deported.  That's New York State's policy; that's New York City's policy, and they are proud of their status as a sanctuary City.

6:33. You pledge during your campaign to keep New York City a sanctuary City

"permissive immigration. . . sent an incentive to people of the world that they can now come [to the U.S.] and abuse asylum laws"

You know they're not refugees, because, where are the women? 

Imagine a swarm of rats eating you alive, starting at your feet and moving up your body. Eventually you’ll die. Nothing is preventing you from swatting these rats away and saving yourself except a self proclaimed declaration that you’re a safe haven for rats. What a way to die.   https://t.co/cxxfvPIu9p

The full 3-hour and 42-minute interview is here.  Rogan hosts Coleman Hughes.

The full unfolding of it goes back to the 1930s.  New York State made a constitutional amendment to the state constitution that required the state to provide housing for the homeless.  It was vaguely worded, so in the 80s and 90s, the courts in New York began interpreting that law more and more strictly.  Almost no other state I'm not sure if other states have something in its state constitution requiring that kind of a thing . . . .  The original purpose of this was for citizens of New Yorker state, but the judges began interpreting it so strictly that when the Republican governors in Texas and Florida begin sending a few thousand migrants up to New York City as kind of an f*ck you to liberal cities that have declared themselves sanctuary cities without actually having to actually deal with the border crisis does that Texas does.  The first few thousand found that legally New York had to house them.  And then word got down to Mexico that if you make it to New York City, you will not be turned away.  Legally, you don't even have to be a citizen before the state amendment to apply to you.  So what began as a few . . . let's say 10 or 15,000 were sent by the Republican Governors as a kind of political tactic has now become tens and tens and tens of thousands coming of their volition to New York City, and it's the only state in the country that mayor Adams has no legal recourse to send people elsewhere he actually cannot do it he's tried to do executive orders but he legally can't because it's in the state constitution.  It's above his power.  And now it's taken on a life of its own way over and above what the Republican governors started so this is why he's going to the National media and literally saying you know I can't do anything about this I'm trying to do something about this but I can't and we are putting people up in Airbnbs for $100 a night years if we don't find a solution to this.   

I was looking at a video of the Roosevelt Hotel which is no longer a hotel.  The state has essentially said that this is now a center for housing migrants, and they've said the restaurant is no longer a restaurant.  Sorry, that's just how it is now.  What do you do if you own the Roosevelt Hotel and you just want it to be a hotel and now the state just says nope?

3:33. Look, I don't blame any of these people.  If I was born in Mexico, . . . and we'd all be doing the same thing.  It's the smart thing to do from their perspective, but that doesn't mean from our perspective that we should just put out the bat signal to the whole world and say you can come to New York City and we have no legal recourse to move you anywhere else.

3:57. It's not just New York City, it's other parts of the world.  It's strange that recently it's become this crisis where migrants are coming en mass to these places and just letting them.  Is this orchestrated?  Is this just the fact that they found out that they can do it and it's better than where they are, and if they go there these places that are charitably minded, who want a house people who are down their luck, but now people are taking advantage and just swarming?  

4:33. I think that's what it is I think the whole Western world has become much more open to immigration recently.  Obviously, America was open to immigration in the 19th century, but we were the outlier.  In all the other countries in the world, the default was that they had closed borders.  So I think the whole world out of empathy for the poor and struggling has wanted to have more permissive immigration but that sent an incentive to people of the world that they can now come that they can abuse asylum laws and again I don't even blame people for doing this because it's exactly what I would do if I were born in Guatemala or Syria this is my story and I would probably lie about it in order to get a better life than the one I had.  These are just a side effect of these compassionate laws.  People abuse them.  You get immigration pools that are vastly proportionately male, which is how you know that they're not refugees because, you know, where are the women?  It's a side effect of the intended compassionate immigration policy.  That's how this works.  Thomas Sowell's great quote, "There are no solutions, only trade-offs." It's more compassionate, but it also leads to, in the case of New York, what could be a serious fiscal crisis.
