08/14/2007: "New York City to protect immigrants"

Bloomberg has said repeatedly that immigrants are important contributors to the city's economy and crucial to the city's survival. Asked Monday about the idea of New York City as a sanctuary for immigrants, Bloomberg said, "let 'em come."

"I can't think of any laboratory that shows better why you need a stream of immigrants than New York City," he added. "I don't know what to tell anybody. They just . if they don't believe that immigrants add a heck of a lot more than they cost, they just aren't looking at the numbers."
