Bloomberg: Without Illegals, New York Would Suck
Speaking to a Senate committee yesterday at a hearing on illegal immigration, Mayor Michael Bloomberg relayed some unfortunate news: were officials to cack down on undocumented workers, the world would end.
"Although they broke the law by illegally crossing our borders … our city's economy would be a shell of itself had they not, and it would collapse if they were deported," he said. "The same holds true for the nation."
Seriously, c'mon. We don't see you citizens mopping up the slop at Chinatown Brasserie or lining the streets with waste on garbage day.

Illegal aliens don't just violate the law when they cross the border or overstay their visas. They also buy and sell forged documents, sometimes they engage in identity theft, employers violate law when they knowingly hire them, and on and on.
And, those companies that profit off that illegal activity donate to politicians that allow that illegal activity to continue.
Bloomberg isn't just encouraging illegal activity, he's supporting political corruption. Some things are much more important than money, and one of those is trying to keep corruption out of our political system.
Mayor Mike has made it crystal clear through this statement - as well as his proposal to create a massivebiometric database for everyworker in the U.S. - that he is completely corrupt and ignorant of the basic principles of this country.
These illegals should get a PhD and a Master's degree from the U of Illinois like I did. Then they'd be smart.
bigmediablog you are a wee bit wrong.
not all illegals forge documents and are criminals:
a big percentage may work illegaly but pay their taxes.
not all illegals commit crimes, most of them simply work here and raise their families.
america is made of immigrants, remember?
hey "nevermind" the word is LEGAL…..repeat… LEGAL immigrants……….. moron
hey legal! thanks, that's very classy of you!
the way you sound, I bet you "looove" the legal ones as well.
I wonder where your grandparents came from.
yo "nevermind" my grandparents came to this amazing country of ours LEGALLY!!!!! That's right LEGALLY!!!! They had to go through the proper channels (paid their way, medical check ups, etc..) OH yeah, my grandparents came from Italy… Oh yeah, they had to LEARN ENGLISH!!! Yes, learn english. They didn't demand anything…. they didn't take any freebies (medical, school, work)NONE!!! My grandparents WORKED their brains out LEGALLY!!!! moron
you are a bad representative of this "amazing country of ours" legal.
narrow minded, judgemental and cursing in any given moment.
my grandparents worked their brains out legally too, but i don't judge the people who come here, maybe overstayed their visas, but work their asses off and pay their taxes, who love and respect this country.
i'm not sure if you're paying attention but there's not a single curse in this post. and you my friend, belong to the yahoo message boards. ciao.
yo "nevermind" the word moron is not a curse word. moron….. i am not narrow minded. i hate all these politically correctness bullcrap… why can't you just say the truth? they are illegals!!! they are criminals!!! they broke the law and should be jailed for it. thousands and thousands of people who want to come to this country are in line (waiting for years and paying tons of money). now, these illegals demand FREE medicine,health insurance, social services, school, benefits, demand we should learn their language and they are FU$#%ing illegals!! do you know what will happen to me if i did that in their country? i'd get my you know what deported. they should be marching and protesting in their own FU&^%ing country. it's simple: follow the rules and laws
Actually, I agree 100% with Mr. LEGAL. He is absolutely correct….. Hey Mr. or Ms Nevermind, imagine if say I was a family member visiting then I overstayed my visit/welcome and decided to live with you and not leave….Would you like that? Or….. let's see… how about this? I'm a dude from the street then I decided to go inside your house and sneak in(uninvited). And then while there make these demands: change and eat all your food, buy me new clothes, give me money, sleep with your wife and daughter and then decide that I like it at your house and not leave. Mr or Ms Nevermind, would you like that?
James, quick question:
How come you know that "legal" is a "Mr"?
You are sensitive enough for my Mr or Ms, that's why I'm asking…
I would be more careful if Iwere posting with different names. On second thought — I have guts to support my own ideas, so nevermind…
Nevermind has left the building.
You know what "nevermind," who cares if I knew? I just used Mr or Ms for the heck of it. And one more… why change the subject when you know you are losing. I don't know who LEGAL is. He could be an it for all I know.
