AOC fantasies about 4 foot long pool noodles. ‘My Job Is Not to Put Pool Noodles Around Hard Corners for Republicans’: AOC Blasts Critics Over McCarthy Vote https://www.thenewcivilrightsmoveme...licans-aoc-blasts-critics-over-mccarthy-vote/
What a load of shit: when it comes to people coming to New York City today — are nothing, I'm telling you, nothing, compared to the daily amounts of people that we saw coming in through Ellis Island in the first half of [last] century,” Ocasio-Cortez said in the video posted to her Instagram account on Friday.
12 million immigrants passed through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1954 , the peak year being 1907. So an average of 200,000 per year. Most did not stay in New York City but moved to other parts of the U.S. New York City has taken in 95,000 immigrants so far this year. This amount is about 1/2 the average amount through Ellis Island each year in the early 1900s -- and 2023 is not complete yet. This is obviously more than "nothing". And it should be noted that these 95,000 immigrants are staying in NYC -- not moving to other places in the country like most people who came through Ellis Island did.
oh how nice of you to average it out to make it fit: with a whopping 1,004,756 entering the United States in 1907 alone, its busiest year. citation fucking needed. "taken in" doesn't mean shit.
The immigration had a peak year -- hardly surprising. Most years were much below 95,000 immigrants. From 1925 to the closing of Ellis Island in 1954, only 2.3 million immigrants passed through the New York City port -- mere 79K immigrants per year. So in summary in most years, the number of immigrants through Ellis Island was below the 95K immigrants NYC has seen so far in 2023. Only two percent of those arriving were prevented from entering and less than 5% settled in NYC. So even in the peak year, 1907, of a million immigrants into Ellis Island -- a mere 50,000 settled in NYC. Well below the 95K migrants that New York City has seen so far in 2023. AOC's statement is completely inane.
Because this year is like any other year how? The fact you don't see the irony here....tsk, tsk... yes, and the implication here was we've seen much worse (as in over a mill) knowing the context of this following the NY mayor crying like a bitch. Now do the last decade since you're comparing apples to oranges. citation needed, everyone that can read knows "taken in" might as well be called processed since there's no history of their stay in the article. if you're a god damn moron. No need to clarify where you fall in that category.
First of all...GWB handed your ass to you Here is one major problem New York city received a minimum 20,000 migrant children this year Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a bill to cap class sizes in New York City at 20 students for kindergarten through third grade, 23 in grades 4 to 8 and 25 in grades 9 to 12 NYC needs at least 1000 more classrooms and 1000 more bilingual teachers to maintain its standards. This is billions of dollars Immigration without a process is destructive ( is this the plan of a Marxist movement)
