Yea, that doesn’t happen.

You also get like immediate jail time if they find any amount of drugs on you, it’s not comparable at all.

I’m glad you agree, but I promise the rest of the mob that want to abolish crime posts on this sub don’t.

In all seriousness, this is an article about a specific initiative that the governor/mayor just started, hardly “fear mongering”, and definitely warrants discussion.

We should also not allow posts that immediately demonize the NYPD without due investigation right? That’s preemptively spreading a false narrative as well, right?

Edit: And the downvotes just prove the hipocracy of the “abolish crime posts” crowd

Yea, my point was their drug laws are extremely strict. People love to act like we live in a tyrannical country when other first world countries don’t put up with a fraction of what we do.

If you don’t like stepping on needles you MUST be “not from here”. /s

If you’re single, bored and have nothing tying you down to wherever you are now, do it for sure.

*and can swing it financially.

See the post below about Hochul not paying tolls/speed camera tickets. Or Hochul giving the billionaire owner of the Buffalo Bills millions of Taxpayer dollars. It’s across the board.

You clearly don’t know how Medicaid and emergency Medicaid works and how easy it is to get with no taxable income, regardless of immigration status, It’s fine. I shared that link because you stated that asylum seekers weren’t receiving free medical care which was false.

This is true! It’s fucked tho.

Yes, the certain groups are people with no taxable income…

It gets written off by the hospital. Do you think it’s fair that someone can exploit our immigration system, get seen in An emergency department and pay nothing, when a tax pay citizen can lose their job, have a medical emergency and be stuck with thousands of dollars in medical bills?

I wonder if Tokyo has this issue.

If you have no taxable income, regardless of your immigration status, you qualify for Medicaid.

“Permanent Residence Under Color of Law, or PRUCOL, is a public benefit eligibility status, as opposed to an immigration status, that allows certain groups of individuals, including those seeking asylum, to be eligible for full Medicaid coverage. Eligibility for Medicaid depends on a variety of other factors (income, state residence, etc.), which PRUCOL applicants for Medicaid must also meet to be found eligible.”

Guess what, they all have no income and qualify.

Emergency care is not denied, but if you don’t have insurance they WILL send you a bill, and you are responsible for the bill. The city is covering the cost for the migrants. That’s the difference.

They get emergency Medicaid, which is essentially free healthcare. They can go to any emergency dept in the city and receive free care. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong, but I don’t see other country’s stepping up to the plate like we do.

The city literally just spent a billion dollars on the migrant crisis, can you show me an example of Norway doing the same for non citizen asylum seekers/migrants?

Does Norway accept and provide medical care for an unlimited amount of migrants?

Norway has a mostly homogeneous population of 5.5 million people total, for the entire country. Not comparable at all.

I hope someone told her it’s just a “perception” of crime.

People don’t want to live in the suburbs where a train comes every half hour during peak hours if you’re lucky, and there’s little to no overnight/off peak service.

Should write in a progressive candidate!

Well, crime is on the rise so that does kind of make sense.
