A perspective from Alexis of East New York

We hear protests against migrant shelters in Manhattan, Staten Island and Queens, but not so much in Bronx and Brooklyn. A lot of people living there are on government assistance, and they have chosen to keep quiet.

We want fairness from the government on all issues. The ability to raise our family without worrying about increasing cost of food (forget about eating out), housing and transportation; rising student population due to arriving migrant children…

Alexis is not a have-not. He is a voice for his community, but his community does not get as much political and media attention.
