Exactly why the classes are constructed. To keep divisiveness and competition alive and healthy. That's why capitalism works so that others are capitalized on.

Meanwhile the ruling class makes and passes laws that you come on here to start threads about, because you don't like the laws. So you're not part of the ruling class. Ruling class and working class. Only 2 classes that exist. Doesn't matter how much money you make. Inflation, all these things furthermore, are out of your control. Ruling class is in charge of that.

Most recent African immigrants have no connection to the indigenous black population in the U.S. other than superficial features such as skin color and hair. On average, recent African immigrants out-earn even native born Amercian whites. They are not dumb.

But this batch of African immigrants seems to be the bottom of the barrel. As someone pointed out, City Hall is not the place to go for a Federal immigration document. Well, at least they know what a green card is, and at least they didn't riot.

If they were that would upset you. Why is that?

Bruh. How exactly do you think humans survive on earth? Things just magically appear? This is a commonly held belief among the handout crowd in NYC. That there are tons of resources and they deserve a piece just because they exist.

Existing as a human doesn’t entitle one to anything. Merely existing on this earth is a burden. One has to produce in order to bring something of value.

Why are conspiracy theories so prevalent in the hood?

NYC politicians are very good at getting people on the handout train and many never come off nowadays. That’s the game.

I wish recipients of handouts would understand just how meager those are and must be. Most of the lucre sticks to the distribution mechanism.

After reading the article, I will say that your thread title is extremely misleading. The title of the thread implies that they were falsely led to believe that they were being granted green cards on the spot at City Hall.

Several migrants interviewed said that they were told that City Hall could help them with getting one, not to simply just go down there and pick them up. The title of this thread is misleading as hell. Why did you make the title of the thread have nothing to do with the article?
