Line them up and shoot them.

A new poll says 84% of New Yorkers think the state�s migrant mess is a
serious problem.

The remaining 16% are zombied-out addicts living in parks and subway
tunnels.

Ha. Just kidding about the zombie part.

But, seriously, if you live in New York and don�t think the state�s ever- swelling army of border-hoppers is a serious problem, then you really �
really � haven�t been paying attention.

So no surprise then that a poll Tuesday from the Siena College Research Institute finds not only that New Yorkers are uber-stressed over
immigration � but that President Biden has but a single-digit lead over
Donald Trump in a hypothetical general-election match-up next year.

Clearly, federal fecklessness has consequences.

Biden is up only nine points � 46% to 37% � in a head-to-head in 2024, an extraordinarily small number in cobalt-blue New York.

Or maybe, just maybe, New York isn�t quite so blue any longer � having
been mugged by a crime-and-chaos tolerant Democratic political
establishment.

Recall that Republican Lee Zeldin came within 7 points of beating Kathy
Hochul in last year�s gubernatorial race � the closest the GOP has come in
a very long time.

Nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers blame Biden for migrant crisis: poll
It�s easy to make too much of such polls, especially those taken a year in advance of the race in question � and at a time of great political and
social turmoil.

After all, Biden may not even be the Democratic nominee next year � and
who knows where Trump will be by then, right?
But this much seems clear: the effective collapse of America�s southern
border comes with downstream political ramifications.

How can one tell if the Siena poll truly reflects public disquiet on immigration? That�s easy � both Hochul and Mayor Adams are very much
acting like it does.

They�re cowards about it, for sure, complaining about costs and then
timidly stating the obvious � the problem is the open border � but
scurrying back under cover, presumably after blowback from both the White
House and New York�s increasingly hard-left Democratic establishment.

Regular New Yorkers have no reason to fear ether, of course.

They get it � it�s hard not to when 100,000-plus penniless supplicants
crowd into your state in just months � and they overwhelmingly tell Siena
they want it stopped.

Biden�s lead over Trump evaporates to 9 points in NY amid migrant crisis
It�s sort of like last year, when crime and related social disorder
dominated the debate, when an obdurately ideological political
establishment blew off those concerns � and when a Republican came
uncommonly close to beating an incumbent Democratic governor.

Now throw in the Biden border collapse � plus the shameful Islamist-terror fellow-traveling by so many Democrats since Oct. 7 � and it should
surprise no one that New York is trending purple.

But purple is one thing; a serious Trump threat to the Democratic
presidential ticket in New York next year would be something quite
different.

Still, earthquakes often follow foreshocks. Kathy Hochul�s close call
could be one such; Tuesday�s Siena poll, another.

So what�s a proud Democrat to do?

Maybe tell Joe Biden that 84% of New Yorkers say his immigration policies
are sinking their state, and that it�s time he does something about that.

The man�s future, such as it is, could depend on it. Also, New York�s.
