The Biden administration faces blame as the NYC migrant crisis pushes women towards sex work
President Biden’s “humane” open-border policies are meant, allegedly, to give illegal migrants a chance at a better life.
In New York, a city amid a fiscal and social crisis caused by those policies, this means driving them into prostitution.
Corona, Queens, has seen the explosion of a red light district, rife with open streetwalking and brothels, over the past months — an ugly blooming that Mayor Eric Adams attributes to the migrant influx.
“This is what happens when you create an atmosphere that people can’t provide for themselves,” the mayor correctly told reporters Tuesday. “You can’t work, you can’t provide . . . and have to turn to illegal activities to do so.”
He’s dead right, of course: More than 100,000 migrants have arrived here just in 2023.
The cost to the city for feeding, housing, and educating them is projected to hit $12 billion by the end of fiscal 2025 assuming inflows level off. (They won’t, barring a Biden loss next November.)
But Adams left another important question unasked.
How does flourishing prostitution square with the humanitarian goals Biden and his entire party endlessly trumpet as their motives for wrecking border enforcement and waving in literal millions?
