Fight breaks out over immigration at community board

This was filmed at a community board meeting in Staten Island where community residents came to voice their opposition to migrants being housed. They are disgusting.

Eric Adams and Kathy Hochul have also made awful and irresponsible comments, they can also be quiet.

There is no proof that immigration is depleting our resources, immigrants are not eligible for welfare or snap. There is even evidence that they contribute highly to our tax base.

"My grandfather fled to Argentina after WW2".
O.M.G. Walter, that whole bit was beautiful.

[Fugicara]

"My grandfather fled to Argentina" Okay...
"after WWII" Wait, after? Uh oh...
"to escape persecution" Oh no, not "persecution" (trials)
"then immigrated to the US as a nuclear scientist" UH OH

I loved the escalation of this bit, thanks for all you do, Walter!

I am absolutely shocked that the crazy lady yelling to deport immigrants is also an anti-vaxer. I just cannot possibly fathom how both of these issues ended up mattering so much to her. Oh well, guess we'll never know.

The “my ancestors came here legally” crowd forget that “legally” was sometimes nothing more than stepping off a boat.

"Now the bullies are the children of those immigrants". This young woman is impressive to me

[FakingANerve]

Putting that quote from Auschwitz in there was brilliant, hilarious, and absolutely ballsy. It's sad that the crowd didn't get it, but of course they wouldn't.

[micheleyamamoto]

Did the crowd really not get the Nazi family member reference at the beginning of Walter’s speech? We seriously need more history lessons about hate, not less.

[Xbeatghll]

The first line "My grandfather immigrated to Argentina" killed me. Already saw where that was going.

[wafran]

"If you wouldn't say go back to your country to your nonna"

I love this quote.

[gut]

That Argentina joke had me on the floor😂😂. The effort you always put into the trolls is elite tier

[The_Salty_Llama]

The 'work will make you free' quote was great cause i doubt most of the people even realized where the saying is from

[edwardlampard]

The woman who speaks from 5:02 makes my heart ache because of how absolutely real and correct she was but totally ignored by the entire crowd. They have no space in their rotten brains for introspection.

[DustinAxelson]

I'm not racist, I took a 3% Native woman to Applebee's. lmao

[BeardOfRiker]

“My grandfather fled to Argentina to escape persecution after World War II.”

When I heard that I knew this was gonna be good.

[gone_fishinq]

the fact u actually had people in the crowd clapping for u is insane

[karimb]

The conservative self victimizing entitlement "No one EVER gave us a damn thing" 😂 I don't want to say is the biggest lie ever but is definitely up there.

[evey]

These people fighting for immigrants pump me tf up. These people make me PROUD to be american. Being immigrants is what MAKES us americans. It is who we are. It is where we came from. I stand with immigrants ✊

[lovelysakurapetalsyt]

That nonna lady stuck out to me so hard. My own nonna is the person I live with, I could never imagine anyone telling her to "go back to (her) country" when she grew up here in the US

[AnoraJohnson]

"If you wouldn't say it to your Nona...don't say it to a Black or Brown person." Yes.

[MrMackB]

That lady after you is 100 percent on point, people are such hypocrites
