It's quite simple actually. The mayor isn't an American in any meaningful way other than paperwork, and in fact seems to hold nothing but contempt for our traditions and values, so why would we expect him to care about the men and women who fought and sacrificed to defend this country? There will be endless billions for progressive nonprofits to 'organize' on behalf of the DSA and for useless pet projects and leftist special interests, but our veterans get less in the annual budget than we spend to build a single public toilet. It's a disgrace. My district has the largest number of veterans per capita in the entire city, and my district office hosts the first and only veteran resource center in New York. I meet these men and women every day and my office tries to do everything we can for them, but we're already operating on a shoestring and it's heartbreaking to think we're going to have even less to offer them. When we import the third world, we become the third world. And with that we discard what's always been most important to us as a nation, as our resources are pillaged and our traditions defiled. Very sad.
