According to a report by the New York Post, 75% of individuals who have been recently arrested in Midtown Manhattan for crimes such as assault, domestic violence, and robbery are immigrants.
In the Queens borough, the NY Post reports that this figure is hovering around 60%, alluding to law enforcement sources.
Migrants have been gaming the asylum system in order to enter the US, consequences be damned. Sanctuary cities such as New York City have been hit particularly hard .In these jurisdictions, police cannot track the immigration status of criminal offenders. NYC’s sanctuary policies make it practically impossible for law enforcement to deal with the problem.
“New York City eliminated a tool to get rid of violent criminals. What a mess,” observed Jim Quinn, a veteran former prosecutor at the Queens District Attorney’s Office.
