Thanks, Biden-Harris—Cops Estimate Up to 75 Percent of Manhattan Crimes Committed by Illegal Immigrants
By Bob Hoge |  Sept. 03, 2024

Life in the big city: 
Police sources shared with The Post a staggering estimate that as many as 75% of the people they’ve been arresting in Midtown Manhattan in recent months for crimes like assault, robbery and domestic violence are migrants. In parts of Queens, the figure is more than 60%, sources there estimate. On any given day, Big Apple criminal court dockets are packed with asylum seekers who have run afoul of the law. What’s behind this onslaught? It’s not complicated. Number one, it’s the Biden-Harris open border policies, which have allowed as many as 10 million illegal border crossers into the US since they took office. Number two, it’s progressive policies like “sanctuary cities” and no-bail laws:

The problem is made much worse by sanctuary city laws that mean NY cops aren’t allowed to work with ICE on cases where they believe suspects are in the country illegally. Additionally, the NYPD says it is barred from tracking the immigration status of offenders.

“NYC eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,” Jim Quinn, a veteran ex prosecutor at the Queens Districts Attorney’s office, told The Post.

“The sanctuary city law is pathetic. It’s disgusting. It’s crazy.”

Making matters worse, police sources say that word has gotten out in the shelters about the city’s lax bail guidelines — meaning migrants know they’re going to get kicked back to the street quickly after they’re nabbed.

Officers on the streets are the ones who deal with this scourge of violence and lawlessness every day, and they’ll tell you the reality that the White House ignores:

…the only people who have a full understanding of the scale of the problem are the police officers and court workers who see it day in, day out.

“I would say about 75% of the arrests in Midtown Manhattan are migrants, mostly for robberies, assaults, domestic incidents and selling counterfeit items,” a Midtown officer said.

He said the figure is an estimate because “you can’t be 100% sure [they’re migrants] unless you arrest them in a shelter or they’re dumb enough to give you a shelter address.”

Another Manhattan cop said that excluding petty larcenies at drug stores, the number of local arrests involving migrants is “easily” 75%, noting that most who get caught shoplifting go more for the pricey branded goods.
America, this is the vision for the United States that presidential candidate Kamala Harris brings to the table. Her record is crystal clear, and we must hammer it home every single day—or soon this will be all our reality.

It makes sense that it is happening it is that high in midtown.  They are using 3 or 4 midtown hotels to house the migrants.

Nearly third of New Yorkers want to move out, fed up with crime, housing costs, poor schools and more: poll
By Carl Campanile April 12, 2023
Escape from New York!

New Yorkers are so worried about crime, sky-high housing costs and struggling schools, 27% percent of state residents said they want to move away in the next five years, a survey revealed Wednesday.

A stunning 30% of respondents — who also cited inept political leadership and soaring taxes as reasons for wanting to flee — said they already longed to live somewhere else, according to a Siena College Research Institute quality of life poll.

Nearly a third — about 31% —  plan to leave the Empire State when they retire while even more said they believe it’s not safe for kids.

Broadway Shows Suffering as Suburban Tourists Avoid New York City Due to High Crime
Breitbart News by David Ng 4 Jan 2024

 Broadway shows are reportedly taking a financial hit as tourists from the suburbs are increasingly avoiding NYC due to high levels of crime. NY metro area suburbanites accounted for a mere 14 percent of the overall Broadway ticket sales for the 2022-2023  season — the lowest number on record in the 23 years the Broadway League has tracked such data, according to a NY Post report. Half of suburbanites who have not returned to Broadway cited “concerns about safety” as a primary reason why they see fewer shows, according to a survey by the marketing and advertising firm Situation Group. Slightly more than 40 percent of suburbanites reportedly agreed with the statement, “I travel to Manhattan for pleasure less often than I did in 2019.”Assaults in Democrat-controlled NY rose 6 percent and car thefts climbed 15 percent in 2023. While overall crime was down for the year, the city is still suffering from widespread lawlessness thanks largely to the left’s soft-on-crime policies. NY saw major crimes spike 22 percent in 2022.Meanwhile, more of New York City’s police officers are reportedly heading for the exit, with resignations before retirement spiking across the department. As Breitbart News reported, a recent study found that more than 72 percent of NYC violent-crime suspects who are freed without bail go on to commit more crimes.

And the entire city is paying the price!
People are rushing to get the hell out of that cesspool!

 


This is certainly a true picture of what most people near me believe, living only about 15 miles from NY City.  My wife and I (and often visiting family members) would go into NY several times a year at least to see a Broadway show, a Yankee game, or a famous restaurant up until a few years ago.  But I'd never risk their lives doing that now, and haven't even thought about going in since then!  It's just not worth the risk.  We last took my son and his wife visiting from Japan to see a show and have dinner at Sardi's 3 years ago, I had season tickets for the Yankees for 30 years, and did business there with dozens of companies before retiring, and I've seen how badly it's deteriorated.  You take your life in your hands entering the subway or walking down the blocks of homeless that line the streets.

No more for me!

I was born and raised in Brookly, live in the Bronx, and lived a little in NJ.  I loved midtown, whether of the 70s and 80s, or after it was cleaned up.  I have stayed in the Roosevelt and loved it.

It is sad.

• The median Manhattan rent was $4,667 per month in June 2024 — vs. $4,500 per month in May. Rental prices increased 4% both month-over-month and year-over-year. The median Manhattan rent has once again reached a new record high, surpassing the previous peak reached in April 2024 ($4,595).
•  
• Average rent increased year-over-year for all unit types except for three bedrooms, as pricing for this unit type seems to have hit a ceiling. The average rent for studio apartments climbed 8% annually — to reach $3,604 — the most significant increase of all unit types.

You never grasp this concept.

Market prices are signals.

These signals contradict your headlines.

In so doing, it joins the crime statistics.

First off it is not my headline.  Second, the article (which you did not read) is specific to Midtown.  Get up to speed on the topic and let me know when you are.

Then reread my comments and try again.  Oh, and please me make a case.  Thank you

Stop, pay attention. 

The idea that Manhattan is in decline should be supported by something other than the laments of people living outside it and "some cops say".

Though it has long been an undesirable residential area, midtown is much safer now than when I lived in NYC in the late 80s.
