Let me set the record straight. When people read about "New York", they only think of Manhattan. The mass of the population do not live in Manhattan, (i.e. NYC) I've lived in 3 of the 5 Boroughs of New York all my life. I can tell you that the "Real New Yorkers" who live outside of the City, do not like, nor want Illegal Aliens here. Our problem is that with the exception of the best mayor we ever had, Rudy Giuliani (R), the Democrat politicians have an iron fist grip on New York, from the Governor, down to our corrupt Mayor. Even his name Bill de' Blasio is a fraud. Most people don't even know that he changed his name from Warren Wilhelm to hide his violent liberal protester background. It's the large Black population in Harlem and the Liberal Unions like the Teachers U.F.T. that keep electing these liberal democrats. They outnumber us by 4 registered democrat voters to every 1 Republican down state. There is more to New York, than Manhattan, We suffer under this group as well.
