But why don’t more of the population from Central America migrate to NYC? Lots of good free public services, free education, and jobs for them. What’s stopping them and why aren’t we doing more to facilitate the process.

76.6% of Venezuelans live on less than $1.90 a day, the international standard for extreme poverty.

I said not everyone outside the U.S. is poor and you responded with one random country and a percentage. Either way good luck arguing with yourself any further than this. Bye troll.

I never said everyone outside the U.S. is poor. Do you believe they are?

Look into how immigration affects nations. When you deregulate it, your nation could crumble. Germany had a serious issue by letting anyone come through. Crime was rampant, the new year rape debacle etc etc

NY offers these newcomers a new chance at life, though? They are coming from very poor and hopeless situations. Don't they deserve to be able to come here, just like the migrants that were sent here by bus?

Isn't it a good thing that migrants can escape their countries in very large numbers and come to New York for a better quality of life? I thought that was the whole idea around why immigration is important.
