Whistleblowing hotel employee Felipe Rodriguez also alleged that the once-trendy hotel — formerly known as the Milford Plaza, which advertised itself as the “Lullaby of Broadway” — had turned into a “free-for-all” of sex, drugs and violence.
Most people still don't realize the magnitude of this disaster. The article said "at least 47,600 migrants have flooded into the city since the spring of last year." In fact the U.S. has encountered over ONE MILLION immigrants just this year! Certainly New York and the other areas that advertised themselves as sanctuary cities are not taking in their fair share. Just imagine the conditions in border towns.

According to an official U.S. House Representative it's more like 6 BILLION. But who's really counting at this point?

The costs are going to keep on coming, what I am most worried about is the criminal and terrorist elements entering our country. Imagine the opportunity for criminals when they see they can enter such a wealthy country and their criminal records will be ignored.

This data is all incorrect.

But your not worried about the alt right of course; despite the large threat they pose.

Presumably because you are on their side?

More likely because you are not paying the hotel bill for the "alt right"

Ever notice the links within NYPost articles are links to other NYPost articles? I clicked links in this story, and that's where they go.
One did go to FOXnews, whose embedded links are links to their articles. Is that how an echo chamber works?

A lot of lower-quality sites do that. Among those that link back to themselves, the better ones will link back to relevant articles, but IME a lot of them will merely link back to keyword searches or tags. So, if you see a sentence that says "So-and-so issued a statement today," the "statement" link won't actually link you to the statement; it'll just go to a list of articles tagged with the word "statement." It's pretty annoying.

I have notice that almost all of the articles in the NYP are based on facts unlike those stories about Russian disinformation and the Russia Hoax in other media that finally had to be retracted months and months later.

I don't know, it's owned by Rupert Murdoch who just admitted he knows his "journalists" lie to their audiences.

Tell me which, if any "journalists" never lie
Let me understand this. If you think all journalist lie, let lone those outlets where the boss knows they are lying, then why are you posting that same regime as some argument source?

Well no, you do. I don't think all outlets knowing let their journalists spout lies. I don't think all news outlets provide their favorite party with the ads their opponets plan to run on their said station. and then advice them. I don't think all news outlets let their journalists hit the campaign trail with candidates. That is the same regime that owns the NYPost.

once-trendy hotel
We remodel old hotels and motels to provide affordable housing for people. But the city goes in and shuts them down because of drugs and prostitution. This pushes up the price of motels for everyone. Use to get a room for $8 plus taxes. Now it starts at $85. For the rock bottom prices

One more time. Support your claim. I know you are zero for every time asked, but what the hell.
I expect people to be well informed, it should not be necessary to document obvious well known facts but since some people prefer not to keep themselves informed.
