Floyd had been just shy of vesting additional medical benefits for his family and more than $600,000 worth of death benefits when he was booted, leaving his family with nothing despite his years of service.

"After Floyd was fired, he found a job with a nonprofit that helps veterans, but the pay was a fraction of what he made with the FDNY, the benefits were limited, and the hours prevented him from spending time with their kids, a 6-year-old boy and 2-year-old girl."

They are NOT “migrants”. They are illegal aliens, by definition criminals.

They could have furloughed people who already had their benefits vested. They chose younger people specifically so they wouldn’t have to fund them or pay them out over time. This tells us they have no heart AND they are expecting to have long term structural economic problems.

Prayers for the man’s family, may they find peace in the memories of their time together.

Haven’t you heard? Democrats are simply not interested in American Citizens.

It’s gotten so bad in Chicago their black citizens are organizing to vote for Trump because he will stop the illegal invaders. If Chicago votes for Trump, Illinois turns red for the first time in decades. If you remove Chicago from Illinois, Illinois becomes one of the reddest states out there. And the blacks are suddenly being subrogated to the illegals, displacing them from the golden child status that they had head you decades. And guess what? They’re angry about it.

It’s not just Trump they’re threatening to elect either. This group is also threatening to bring in a republican mayor for the first time in 80 some-odd years.

Liberals govern with emotion and not logic so it will be interesting to see where this all shakes out. But the combination of senile, demented Slow Joe and blacks being shoved out of favor for the detritus of central America might very well bring more and more blacks into the fold of the GOP. We’ve seen it anecdotally in the polls for years now, the real test will be election day. They say all politics is local and inner city residents who are now after the illegals might well cause an upheaval in November.

Or, they could vote for yet another democrats and see if anything gets better.

New York is run by radical marxists whose goal is to totally replace normal, hard-working Americans with unproductive individuals who they will be able to control totally.

Another death of a good American and another decent family shattered at the hands of Joe Biden.

Rest in peace, Derek Floyd.
