Meanwhile, as New York bankrupts itself to provide free luxury accommodations to illegal immigrants, many of those unfortunate enough to reside there on a legal basis can barely afford a roof over their head:
The devastating data comes from the latest report from the nonprofit the Community Service Society of New York, which found that 55% of households, or nearly 1.2 million households, in the Big Apple were “rent-burdened” in 2021, meaning tenants spent at least 30% of their income on rent.

A staggering 34% of the city’s tenants were classified as “severely rent-burdened,” spending at least half their income on monthly rent as rates soar well above the median income.
Here’s what they get for the money:
The survey found that 24% of New York residences had rodent infestations, 18% had leaks, 17% reported cracks in floors and ceilings, 16% had heat outages in the winter and 9% had mold.
If illegals were provided accommodations characterized by rats and mold, shrieks of rage from the media would displace any coverage of the chaos at the open border.
At least there is recourse. New Yorkers can improve their lot by throwing their IDs in the river and proclaiming themselves to have snuck into the country illegally.
