No, they are super super fucked legally because they crossed the Rio Grande without papers (while my wife was 2). Because of that they will never attain citizenship, they are stuck in America for the rest of their lives. The only possible way for them to attain citizenship is if they go back to Mexico and stay out of the US for 10 years, which is untenable with their health. All the while their daughter was lucky enough to receive and keep her DACA long enough to find a US citizen to fall in love with (basically the only path to citizenship for DACA recipients). Her parents aren't so lucky just because they don't have the paper that says they simply overstayed their visa.

We make good money and pay a lot of taxes but this will always weigh us down.

Do I care? No, my wife and her family isn't a citizen and wasn't for a long time. They need to be taken care of sir!

Unpopular opinion here: it's pretty on-par with how much Boston pays to house the homeless (it's a lot). It ain't cheap but it's cheaper than them on the streets causing havoc.

Maybe we could work them down a bit but this is the cost of housing the homeless, it's expensive. It would be better if we as a country started to build more housing in general and crash the housing market but everybody uses their house as a retirement plan so it won't happen. Until then these stories are only going to be more and more extreme.

I never delete my comments, must have been an admin or mod, or perhaps reddit just glitching and it will show up, relax ok? Lol I must've really hit a nerve lol

I was right wasn't I? I can't believe you are so mad!

Lol ok shill

Sorry that you're obsessed with defending H mart, hope you get better, you got some major brain rot. Average software engineer btw, they're all simps for H mart. Too much money makes your type not care about food quality/price ratios. Hype becomes everything. I would know, I'm a software engineer too and I'm surrounded by you idiots.

Sure, but let's not spend this entire comment section sucking them off now (as you have been doing)

Nice strawman, my problem with them is their stupid yuppie suburban fans that are all over reddit, talking them up like it's the best thing since sliced bread, their nasty smelling fish section, their high prices relative to small business. H mart sucks, if you don't see that, you've never shopped local.

And it's ruined now and has become too big. Party over, just because it's FROM NYC doesn't mean we should be falling head over heels and doing their shadow advertising work for them

Someone is downvoting everything anti-H-mart in this thread. Let me reiterate, DO NOT GO TO H MART. THERE ARE PLENTY OF SMALL BUSINESSES THAT HAVE BETTER SELECTION AND BETTER PRICING

Go back to Philly

I couldn't care less. Not trying to "discourage" regular middle class people from existing. It's America alright? There's going to be cars

There is plenty of tax revenue to draw from on the upper band, voters are just cheap reactionaries that act like it's all coming from our personal bank accounts.

I think these are petty, vague, reactionary concerns that could be raised about any government program

Obviously it should be a progressive tax that affects the rich more.

It's like you have to re-discover the basis of government with you people, TAXES DUH

Yeah that one sucks.. if it was up to me, no tolls, anywhere.

Why I never go to NJ

I really don't agree, boring conservatives beat that out by a landslide

I don't think we need to be micromanaging people, people are fine. You should manage your criticality though

I don't see a big deal with people smoking a joint on the street, if you do NYC ain't for you karen (looks like you don't live here?)

When are we going to leapfrog and do the Amsterdam-style coffee shops? We could easily overtake California as the cannabis tourism destination but everyone has their head in the sand.

Do you even live in NYC? How is this what brings you out of hiding and into the frying pan?

Edit: nice tactic of asking me a question and then blocking me

Sounds like the average reactionary r/nyc user
