First Generation American, Nicole Malliotakis is Going After Immigrants
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis what has she done for Bay Ridge lately? Or Ever?
Malliotakis loves to pose for pictures and post press releases like crazy in our local papers, but the reality is she isn’t an effective lawmaker or Assemblywoman in Bay Ridge. How many times did she stand at the entrance of the Verrazano Bridge telling us that she was going to get the toll lowered? Seen here, here, here and here – so many times and then she went silent because she knows no one is listening to her.
Although Malliotakis is a first generation American, she is adamant against the Dream Act, which allows undocumented students to receive funding for college. Yet, Malliotakis remained silent about her vote in favor of tax breaks for developers in Manhattan (cause that’s a fair and just law to her). Malliotakis had no problem accepting a free trip to China either.
IDNYC provided ID cards and free admission to museums. While it looked like a good idea years ago, now that Trump is president, the people in the IDNYC’s information can be used against them. Mayor deBlasio announced that he will destroy the IDNYC data, rather than hand it over to Trump because it was never intended to be an immigrant registry.
Malliotakis and newly elected Ron Castorina put together a lawsuit against the city to keep the IDNYC data. Fighting poor immigrants is easy and actually making legislation to help Bay Ridge is real work.
It’s amazing how everyone forgot Pope Francis’ message:
It won’t take long for Castorina to realize what’s really going on here.
