When a group of migrants arrived in NY, the discussion was if they could be housed on a boat.

What many don't understand is that these migrants come here to work. They usually have family back home that are dependent on the few dollars they can send .

They are hard-working people. They don't come here to become a public charge. Their kids need to attend local schools, but that is a win/win if these kids can have a better chance in life .

Right. At the end of the day, they’re humans. Just want to help in any way I can. I think people would be shocked to learn how much America runs on migrant workers. The “no one wants to work” anymore crowd doesn’t like the migrants that come here for work and a better life.
