During a protest by liberal Democratic politicians in New York, joined by dozens of illegal immigrants, they demanded greater government benefits for illegal immigrants newly arrived in the United States, the website Breitbart News reported on May 23.
Protesters demanded more spending from New York City, including an additional $109 million for free legal services for immigrants, $5 million for language services, $25 million to support two city programs for undocumented immigrants, and an end to the remove policy. immigrants from shelters after being there for several months.
Immigrants are increasingly protesting that they lack free aid, food, housing, educational and legal services in the United States. In April, hundreds of African immigrants protested outside the New York City government building demanding more money and free services.
Let us keep in mind, however, that authorities receive money for immigrants from city programs that are supposed to improve the lives of American citizens. There are cases where new buildings in New York City have been occupied by immigrants and not by slum dwellers who are American citizens. Similarly, programs to support US military veterans and the poorest US citizens are being cut, with money going to illegal immigrants.
Last week, a Rochester, New York, media outlet interviewed a migrant who complained that the city and state were not keeping their promises to immigrants. This is despite the fact that New York already spent $1.45 billion on migrant services last year and could spend another $12 billion over the next three years.
