It sounds draconian but why should any country allow in people who are opposed to its values and may cause trouble. We and the US have enough of our own home-grown dissenters.

Not at all draconian, future generations will wonder what mass insanity overtook the country since 2000

Currently watching Married With Kids a 1980's American sitcom they would never make now. Al is a ladies shoe salesman and is always slagging off fat people.

Fat lady "I need shoes"
Al (pointing) "Madam the stables are that away"

How Zohran Mamdani stunned New Yorkers with mayoral primary win

Cuomo and other Democrats mocked Mamdani's policies - free public buses and city-run grocery shops - as unrealistic.

Yep the US right regularly slag us British right wingers for 'Londonistan'.....as if it's any of our fault.

Now their leftists in New York, which contains a powerful Jewish community, has elected a 'Ken Livingstone' type Muslim major.

I hope this teaches the Jewish left in New York and the US in general the idiocy of their ways. Unless they are all planning to move to Israel voting left in America is sh1ting on their own bed.

From the sounds of this guy's policies New York is going to go bankrupt.....which ironically the young Donald Trump benefited from back in the 70s when they last went 'full retard' economically.

Even more ironic is that his wealth was built from the state handing money to his dad. Ultimate Socialism isn't socialism according to rich people who took government money
 
The UK being America's poodle hardly matters compared to the USA being Netanyahu's.

25 years, trillions of dollars debt now the 7th war Netanyahu's dream and it has gone badly wrong.

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs despairs of it, why have we been doing this?

Massive influx of immigrants to new York....just like London and guess who gives him all the votes just like in London.

Trump and Musk were right all along. The left are importing votes.

An influx over what period?

And how did this influx compare with immigration into New York in an ordinary year?

From grok:

Recent Trends: From 2023 to 2024, the New York metropolitan area saw significant population growth, with immigration accounting for nearly all of the 2.3 million resident increase across 55 major U.S. metro areas. New York led with the greatest population gain, primarily driven by international migration.
State-Level Data: New York State took in 207,161 foreign immigrants in the 12 months ending June 30, 2024, ranking fourth among U.S. states. This suggests a robust inflow, though specific 2025 numbers are not yet available.
Asylum-Seeker Influx: Since spring 2022, over 210,000 migrants, mostly asylum-seekers, have arrived in New York City, with 1,000–5,000 new arrivals weekly reported in late 2024. This trend likely continued into 2025, but exact figures for the year are unavailable.
Historical Context: New York City’s immigrant population was 3.1 million (37% of the city’s population) in 2024, and the state had 4.52 million immigrants (23.1% of the population) in 2023. Growth from 2013 to 2023 (4.38 million to 4.52 million),

It's not that clear, but my understanding of the above is roughly 210k immigrants a year into a state of 20 million people - so a shade over 1% of the population.

Is that enough to be an 'influx' responsible for an election result?

Yes. The immigrants would have voted Democrats. Just like in London where they all voted labour because Khan builds their mosques.

Right, but I don't think a 1% change in the population can reasonably be described as a 'huge influx', nor do I think a voting result can be attributed to a 1% change in population.

That's without getting into the fact this was to determine who the Democratic mayoral nominee is, which to be clear means all of the candidates are Democrats...

1% change in population is massive. Especially if there were just under a million votes and most of those immigrants would be the ones voting.

It's just like London’s migrants lock in Labour.
