New Yorkers Attribute City’s Crime Rate Hike to Migrant Influx, Is This Real Report?

DEBARYLIFE – A recent survey revealed that although crime has decreased this year, New Yorkers are attributing the city’s low crime rate to an inflow of migrants.

974 eligible voters in New York City participated in a poll on Friday exclusively for Newsweek by Redfield & Wilton Strategies.

The poll asked a wide range of questions about issues affecting the city and the country as a whole, such as the candidates’ opinions on the current crime rate and whether or not they felt that the immigration wave was having an effect.

What Study Says

As per the study, more than 70% of respondents held migrants in the city accountable for the present crime rate, with 41% stating that immigration had a “significant” impact and 31% stating a “fair amount” of impact.

According to the poll, 10% stated immigration has no effect at all, while 18% said it is having a “small” influence.
