They might be black but they’re not African Americans. The culture is totally different.

[MikieGoodwin-ny]

The fact no one brings up were housing illegals but criminalizing citizens for being homeless is just amazing 😂😂😂😂😂

[Featherfuss]

It’s not about black and white, it’s about replacing people who love our constitution with people who don’t.

[danielrobinson-nthd]

Its time to vote out the Mayor and all the city council members NOW

[Lia-ems]

Those are NOT public servants, Those are domestic threats
and they sold the people out.

[ryandaniels]

Citizens who work 50 years only getting $700 a month in social security. This is disgusting.

[Christie-]

It's not about race, it's about illegal immigration.

[johndavid]

I messed up my lungs working on the World Trade Center. I can’t even get disability.

[lindawithem]

2, 000 DOLLARS A MONTH IS MORE THAN THEY GIVE OUR ELDERLY THAT HAVE WORKED HERE IN AMERICA ALL THEIR LIVES...

[bw]

I am a disabled veteran and have to fight like crazy to get any help from the VA which is federally funded. Why does my country who I bled for not care about me?

[christyg.]

I hate this, im losing my house and all these ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE GETTING EVERYTHING FREE! This ain't going to end good

[kevinneale]

The government gives those people money to open businesses on our dime. Citizens have to jump through hoops for small business loans

[LisaSwindall]

NOT IMMIGRANTS...ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS...HUGE DIFFERENCE!!!!

[antoniodozier]

Its crazy how the government wont help American born black people that are born here but go get thousands of Haitian immigrants and house them while we got so many homeless.

[cherylpigate]

Yes we are paying their rent because they are using our tax dollars!

[breakdownbill]

These people ignoring the American public are going to lose their jobs at the minimum. It’s disgraceful watching these public officials ignore their constituents

[rrbb]

He says:”It’s like an invasion” to which I respond:
No…it’s not LIKE an invasion, it IS a flipping INVASION !!

[lisaperry]

Every one of these city council members in these sanctuary cities needs to be voted out. All of them.

[EricNorthman-hf]

This man must be ignorant saying youre not paying their rent or food . YES THEY ARE. THEY PAID FOR WITH YOUR TAXES !!! WHERE DO YOU THINK THE GOVERNMENT GETS THE MONEY !!!

[prettylady]

This issue isn't about Race. It's just COMMON SENSE.
