Small price to pay to proudly be a sanctuary city. Well done New York!

sanctuary city is fine, the problem here is they are getting the costs very wrong. $363 daily/$10,890 monthly per immigrant doesn't sound reasonable at all, and it's significantly higher than the living expenses for the majority of us NYC residents.

Anyone saying "small price to pay" is not looking at the details enough or asking enough questions. There is absolutely no reason to believe these ridiculously high costs are just what they are, and that there's no inefficiency/waste/recklessness/corruption.

I thought the lady from the commercials said we could feed the poor for like 20 cents a week.

We should be taking care of our own homeless and poor before everyone else's.

you and i had a different view of sanctuary. I just meant 'feel free to come here and do your thing, documented or not'
