Reply to comment by throws_rocks_at_cars in Adams warns migrant flood will impact NYC’s safety and ‘basic services’ by NYY657545

You have people trying do things legally and than you have people who come illegally and pretty much skip the line... Get housing, benefits etc

That's cause illegal immigrants are kept housed and not allowed to work and dependant on the government for their needs.

Edit: I don't see why the downvotes. The government doesn't allow asylum seekers to work so they are dependent on the government and their families.

They're not allowed to work on the books legally. But most work. Most places rather pay them low pay then to pay somebody legal with papers more money. So yes most of them work off the books on top of collecting the benefits from the city and government
