Drop dead, New York. Drop dead, Dems: How migrant crisis will sink Biden
NY Post
Not since 1975 — when a famous tabloid headline read, “Ford to New York: Drop Dead” — have New York City’s finances and politics weighed so heavily on national consciousness.
Just as the city’s looming bankruptcy threatened President Gerald Ford’s reelection in 1976, unfettered immigration and rising crime are now imperiling President Biden’s chances at a second term.
Nothing embodies the link between these two issues more than the upsurge in migrant crime in New York, particularly the recent cases of the eight immigrants who attacked two cops in Times Square, the shooting there Thursday by someone police believe to be a migrant and the moped-migrant gang preying on New Yorkers.
It didn’t help that some of the suspected cop-beating assailants were initially set free after their arrest, with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg claiming there wasn’t enough evidence to detain them. Some promptly fled the state and remain on the loose.
Bragg’s message is one that’s echoed repeatedly in New York and throughout the nation: If you commit a crime in a Democratic-controlled city, the chances that you’ll face serious penalties are slim to none.
Though bankruptcy isn’t looming, as in 1975, both the city and state face enormous financial challenges — a $4.3 billion state deficit and $7 billion in city red ink — in large part because of uncontrolled illegal immigration.
