Yeah the situation here is bad, but a recurring trend on this sub is that people really have no idea how insane the situation is along the border.

NYC has a population of 8.48 million, and is feeling the squeeze from 30,000 migrants and counting since the spring.

For comparison, the border town of Del Rio, TX has a population of 35,000 and last fall had to deal with 15,000 Haitian migrants arriving over a single week.

El Paso, which just declared a State of Emergency despite the White House pressuring the mayor (D) for months not to do so, has 678,000 residents and from August-December, had over 84,000 migrants released into the city.

There are typically over 100,000 migrant encounters along the TX-MX border every single month, and that doesn't include migrants who enter the country illegally without being processed by border patrol.

NYC's numbers are child's play in comparison.
