I can’t imagine the thought process that led to a human jumping on top of a wild animal and trying to ride it. Alcohol must have been involved.

Only took you 11 threads to stop complaining and offer a solution. Good job and goodnight.

I just gave you an idea which is more than you can do.

You asking what kind of consequences?

Consequences for those who are sending them here.

For one, prevent people from being bussed against their will or under false pretenses.

Nobody’s whining. If you want to deal with the problem you need to deal with the cause.

I acknowledged it right away but you weren’t clear on scope. I wasn’t sure if it was the one we’ve been hearing about for the last 20 years plus or the one created by Republican governors but you’ve made it clear it’s the latter.

It’s a problem that’s been engineered by republican governors.

They’re not choosing to come here, they’re being bussed in.

The rate of illegal immigration has been declining since 2007 (not counting 2020 for obvious reasons) so I’m not sure what the scope of the “immediate problem” you refer to.

Are you referring to certain presidential hopefuls choosing to send migrants by the bus load to NYC?

That’s a strawman argument, few would acknowledge it isn’t a problem. Progressives take issue with a restriction in immigration being the only solution. Building more housing would be a good start.

Meanwhile those on the right will simultaneously complain about immigration and inflation without realizing that a drop in immigration is one of the leading causes for rising prices right now.

Life is good as someone getting paid to feed and house migrants. They're not living that well, the money is going to corruption.

The original streetsblog post is not clear about what the plans are:

https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2023/02/27/exclu-council-will-move-ahead-with-seasonal-outdoor-dining-plan/

One council member says:

>The plan is not to make permanent the current outdoor dining sheds you see on our streets or continue with this patchwork quilt of random structures – some that are impressive and creative extensions of their brick-and-mortar motherships and some that have come to more closely resemble abandoned shipwrecks from the First World War – but to create a better program with new rules, new standards, clear design guidelines and operating requirements, moving away from the year-round structures that often sit empty during the winter months

That's entirely reasonable, we need these things to be regulated.

Right, because the American system is so much better. /s

For 10 trillion dollars.

Is that a restaurant? Never heard of it.

It's a step for sure. How big of a step remains to be seen.

I can't help but think that a lot of measures like this and the bounty program for cars parked in bike lanes are a band aid on the much larger issue of the NYPD having contempt for the population they are supposed to serve. The cynic in me thinks that they will just flat out ignore this rule and if our elected officials do figure out a way to bring them to heel then cops will figure out another way to lash out.

Better than nothing, but who’s going to enforce this?

Well yeah, if they face death back home then they probably won't return and I don't blame them. Either way they didn't enter illegally, they're not here illegally and they've followed the legal asylum process.

They're not though. If that were the case they wouldn't be bussed to NYC, they'd be deported. There is a process for asylum seekers that's defined by law and they've followed it.

This isn't mass illegal immigration though. These are asylum seekers who entered the country through ports of entry, presented their case to border patrol, and are waiting to have it heard by an immigration judge.

/u/VisualMod giving out specific financial advice? Sounds legally dangerous.

Why do you say that?

Chinese workers are in a far better position now than they were 50 years ago. Same with workers in the US at the beginning of the 20th century vs the end.

They were accused of stock manipulation so maybe it's more stock manipulation?
