Reply to comment by Double-Ad4986 in NYC’s homeless services chief Gary Jenkins resigning as migrant crisis surges past 44K by NYY657545

I'm absolutely not saying TX handles the crisis reasonably and they definitely need to stop sending more people elsewhere because they do get federal funding to handle this.

I'm mainly talking about people's perceptions towards immigrants changing, which is sad to see, and potentially proving republicans right when they say you will change your tune when you have migrants come to your city. I find the anger in this thread (and many others of late) to be misdirected towards the migrants than the city/government. I agree with your take in general, but I find many others are just blaming the migrants.

At the time of my writing this, I don't see a single comment in this thread that is directing anger towards the migrants.

You don’t need to be anti-migrant to also look at the logistics of providing affordable housing, employment, public social services, and social assimilation to people who arrive at rates faster than all of this can be accomplished.

That's the city's problem - perhaps the city needs to stop calling other parts of the country inhumane for sending migrants to NYC and then following it up by bussing them to Canada. I'm not saying NYC has the resources to deal with it or whatever, but this is deeply hypocritical
