Blue State Turns on Illegals, Takes Their Money And Gives It to the Boys in Blue

President-elect Donald Trump hasn’t even taken office, but the ripple effects of his victory are already being felt. Democrats, sensing the seismic shifts coming to Washington, are scrambling to prepare.

Trump’s promise to “clean up the government” has politicians on both sides of the aisle bracing for dramatic changes. From D.C. to New York City, the anticipation of a Trump-led government overhaul is shaking up the status quo.

Trump’s agenda focuses on rooting out corruption, cutting unnecessary spending, and putting American taxpayers first. This isn’t sitting well with entrenched bureaucrats or liberal politicians who’ve relied on bloated budgets and ineffective programs.

But the results are already apparent. Across the country, officials are reevaluating their priorities and taking steps to avoid being caught off guard when Trump begins draining the swamp.

From NY Post:
Mayor Eric Adams will reinstate the next two NYPD classes — adding 1,600 cops to the ranks by next fall — after they were axed by painful budget cuts to cover the migrant crisis.

The rookie cop restoration was unveiled Wednesday as part of a $115 billion modified city budget that, beyond expanded funds for public safety, included millions toward cash assistance for needy New Yorkers, housing vouchers and more.

NYC’s Budget Shuffle

Nowhere is this more apparent than in New York City, where Mayor Eric Adams has unveiled a $115 billion mid-year budget adjustment. The plan includes a much-needed $140 million restoration to the NYPD budget, reversing cuts Adams made last year due to the city’s migrant crisis.

With asylum seekers costing the city $6.4 billion, Adams was forced to slash vital services. But now, he’s scrambling to restore public safety and other key programs ahead of what might be a friendlier federal environment under Trump.

It also sets aside millions for ankle monitoring, reducing recidivism, and cracking down on illegal cannabis operations.

For a mayor who has long touted the mantra, “Public safety is the prerequisite to prosperity,” these moves signal a course correction after the chaos caused by Biden’s border policies.

A Crisis of Biden’s Making

New York City has been drowning under the weight of Biden’s border crisis. The influx of asylum seekers has strained resources to the breaking point, forcing Adams to make cuts that even he admitted were “draconian.”

But Trump’s tough-on-immigration policies could offer Adams some relief. A secure border means fewer migrants needing aid in NYC, freeing up funds for the city to invest in its citizens instead of scrambling to fix federal failures.

Adams’ budget also includes nearly half a billion dollars for cash assistance programs, helping over half a million New Yorkers pay for food, housing, and utilities. Housing vouchers will see an additional $115 million, and rising tax revenue has given the city some breathing room.

But let’s not kid ourselves—none of this would be necessary if Biden had controlled the border in the first place. Trump’s policies could provide the stability cities like NYC desperately need.

Trump’s leadership will likely force cities to rethink their reliance on ineffective policies and focus on solutions that actually work.

For New York City, that means restoring public safety, investing in its citizens, and shedding the burden of federal mismanagement. For the rest of us, it’s a sign that real change is on the horizon.
