New York City is in crisis. The self-declared sanctuary city is currently confronting the consequences of its own actions, and we all know that is never easy. Despite having 100 times the budget and resources of a border community such as El Paso, TX, the city is having a difficult time dealing with a tiny fraction of the illegal immigration problem that confronts El Paso and other border cities every day.
But fear not, Gotham. Help is on the way. No, not Batman. Even better: the city will be rescued by the superhero team known as State Senate Democrats. They may not wear capes, but they do offer New York the salvation known as ... tax increases.
Collin Rugg (@CollinRugg) ~ NEW: Democrat New York State Senators have brought forward a plan to "solve" the migrant crisis in their state by, wait for it... raising taxes!
Socialism to the rescue!
As NYC reaches the point of no return with the migrant takeover, Socialists see an opportunity to gouge more money out of their residents.
"We should increase taxes because it’s economically just policy to offset all costs for our state to function," said state Senator Julia Salazar from Brooklyn.
"I’d say that even if our city and state hadn’t seen an increase in migrants seeking asylum, this moment makes it all the more important for the wealthy to pay their fair share of taxes."
Senate Senator Jabari Brisport, also from Brooklyn, said: "We’re still organizing to tax the rich through the same revenue-raising bills we’ve been fighting for for years."
Or just simply secure the border ...

Even the Dark Knight couldn't match this level of cunning and genius.
Bruce Wayne's got nothing on these heroes. Even Steve Rogers, Captain America himself, was impressed with their ingenuity.

But don't panic, average New Yorker. They only want to tax 'the rich,' right? Hmmm, where have we heard that one before?
CKP (@cparham65) ~ DIMocrat agenda! Cause the problem. Charge the working class!!
DougMD (@Doug__MD) ~ “Taxing the rich” is Socialist language for anyone with anything.
Gracelyn (@Gracelyn72) ~ I always love their talking point: 𝘵𝘢𝘹 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩𝘺, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘢𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘧𝘢𝘪𝘳 𝘴𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘦.
What they really mean is -- bend over middle class, you're about to get screwed out of more money!
Yes, it seems that every time politicians talk about raising taxes on 'the wealthy,' it always seems to hit the middle class hardest. Weird how that works.
Jennifer (@dumsa2002) ~ That’s all they do. Raise taxes. 🤦🏽♀️
As the saying goes, when you are a hammer (or a hammer and sickle as the case may be), every problem is a nail. ...
They want New Yorkers to pay for the privilege of being invaded. BWHA HA HA HA HA HA!!!
It might increase the availability of housing in New York ... since it will cause even MORE New Yorkers to flee the state ... but, there will a whole lot fewer taxpayers in New York to pay for the Democrat hand-outs.
