From the New York Post: Each of New York’s 10.7 million taxpayers would have to fork over $215 on average to foot the bill for the state’s ongoing migrant crisis, according to a new analysis.
Put another way, it would take the entire tax bill paid by 328,471 New Yorkers together to cover the $2.3 billion tab to house and care for the staggering number of asylum seekers in the state.
The analysis was conducted by the campaign of Gina Arena, the Republican candidate in the 40th state Senate district in the lower Hudson Valley, based on the average $7,000 state income tax bill for New Yorkers in 2022.
“It’s time to wake up to what we’re doing to taxpayers,” said Arena, who is running against incumbent Democratic state Sen. Pete Harckham in a district that encompasses parts of Rockland, Westchester and Putnam counties.
“At this point we’re paying members of Venezuelan gangs – in tax dollars – to turn Times Square into a criminal zone. That’s how messed up New York has become under one-party progressive rule,” Arena warned.
New York City is intending to reserve up to 14,000 hotel rooms through next year, at a cost of an estimated $2.3 billion.
