Attacking the messenger
You gotta admire the innovation sometimes. When the results of bad policy come to bite, it’s never the fault of the policy.
If the jails are overflowing with criminals, it means that the hurdle for incarceration is to high. So leave the criminals on the street and redefine crime down.
But this one is a cracker. From New York.
New York City has as a huge social and economic problem because its policies create a magnet for illegal immigration. New York City’s solution is not to change its policies or to advocate for immigration reform. No. Rather:
New York City mayor Eric Adams said Thursday the city will pursue legal action against 17 bus and transportation companies that have carried illegal immigrants into the city.
Sue the messengers. The bus and transportation companies.
So what will happen. Bus and transport companies will stop servicing New York entirely which will adversely impact all New Yorkers. But also:
… in order to circumvent the new order, buses reportedly began dropping off migrants in New Jersey and instructing them to take public transit into New York City.
Government in action.
