New York City spends too much on police, an illegal immigrant reportedly said during a contentious committee hearing, New York City Councilwoman Vickie Paladino — who spoke up at the event — told Breitbart News Daily.
“They were just outright demanding on Thursday,” the councilwoman said, detailing the controversial meeting which featured illegal immigrants complaining and making demands on New York City.
“When they really cut me off is when I said you are here illegally. You are here illegally. And they didn’t like that. And that’s when one of the chairwomen cut me off. And she said, ‘Councilmember, do you have a question? Councilmember, do you have a question?’ I said, ‘Yes, I asked it, and I do have more.’ It was about the vetting, which they lied, that she started to spew — one of the people who answered one of my questions on the panel there, but she started to spew cop-hating rhetoric. If we wouldn’t pay our police officers so much,” she said.
“Are you kidding me? Really, you are here illegally. You’re here illegally. And you’re telling us that you don’t like our police. Ok. They took away your mopeds, and your scooters. Seriously? Are they licensed? Are they insured? Ok, or [is this] just something that you’re going scooting around and doing Uber Eats or whatever it is you do illegally? Illegally? Let’s understand this. This is all done illegally. And as soon as you say that word illegal, bam, you get crushed,” she said.
