The Left has long, in rather racist fashion, argued that unfettered immigration is necessary because -- without it -- we'd have no one to clean our hospitals or pick our crops. Yikes.
But this story sheds some light on just how few of the illegal immigrants in NYC are looking for work:
New York Post (@nypost) ~ Only 2% of the 140K migrants who have come to NYC have applied for work permits

For the mathematically challenged, 2% of 140,000 is 2,800. So not a whole lot of people. ...
Max Killcount (@MaxKillcount) ~ But, I was told they desperately wanted to work?
Brian Doherty (@BDOH) ~ They have a cell phone, paid room and board, healthcare and basic income. That’s all they need.
Lee Zeldin (@leezeldin) ~ When sanctuary cities and states like in NY provide free health care, free housing, free education, and many other goodies, not only is that an incentive to cross into the country illegally, but it’s also an incentive to mooch off taxpayers as much and for as long as possible.
NOfP-X (@NOfPPlus) ~ What happens when you vote your city to become a sanctuary. Liberals never fail to overlook the predictable fallout from their half-baked, bleeding heart gestures. “Oh, actions have consequences? Who could have foreseen that?”
Well, apparently New Yorkers aren't too bright.
H.L. Chiselfritz (@RotNScoundrel) ~ The remaining 98% are living the American Dream.
The American Dream according to Democrats.
Honorary Uce (@XOTWODevin) ~ Biden voters allowed this to happen.
