Taxes play into it too. So does defunding police crime. People just want to escape failed liberal policies in general
Where did they defund the police?

Yeah, wrong thread, but I’ve been seeing headlines about how the whole defund the police movement got thrown out in favor of more funding and doubling down on the same old policing practices.

NY cut their budget by about a billion dollars. Then coincidentally crime has skyrocketed since. Lots of people have left and aren't coming back

Infrastructure bill threw all of that out the window.

Have you ever had to call the police for anything?
If it was a crime, did they solve it or catch the perps or do anything beyond take a report?
Leads. Yeah, they got 4 more detectives working on it down at the crime lab. They got us working in shifts!

How did their crime rate increase compare to cities that did not reduce police funding (btw, the New York case was a cut in funds to all municipal services due to reduced tax revenues due to Covid)

Isn’t the whole defund the police thing rooted in allocating that budget toward more constructive social programs?
Invest in communities, rather than criminalizing them

Depends on who you ask, but it doesn't matter, because as long as it's labelled as "defund the police" it won't be politically feasible.

Yeah, that messaging was awful.
But it also has the effect of quickly identifying those who grew up in a community in which they weren’t afraid of the police.
(Which is largely to say, a white community, but not entirely)

Back to covid. If our government genuinely cared about our citizens then the borders would become a top priority. We have a continual wave of illegal immigrants coming in, many of which have covid and are trying to get Healthcare for it. Not to mention the majority of illegal drugs, firearms, and human trafficking all come across our southern border

this is exactly why i feel sorry for you
despite short upticks that right-wingers like yourself like to use as hot-take talking points, illegal immigration continues to be on a downward trend...a 12% decrease from 2010-2019
related, during that same time frame undocumented immigrants from Mexico dropped by an estimated 1.9 million, while undocumented immigrants from everywhere else increased by half a million
re: covid, at least three states have higher levels of infection than incoming migrants
i’ll stop there, unless you want me to keep poking holes in your opinions

As long as GOP dipshit politicians keep running to the border for staged photo ops, the soft headed nitwits will continue to scream that the immigrants are over running us.
