Line them up and shoot them.

A new poll says 84% of New Yorkers think the state’s migrant mess is a
serious problem.

The remaining 16% are zombied-out addicts living in parks and subway
tunnels.

Ha. Just kidding about the zombie part.

But, seriously, if you live in New York and don’t think the state’s ever- swelling army of border-hoppers is a serious problem, then you really —
really — haven’t been paying attention.

So no surprise then that a poll Tuesday from the Siena College Research Institute finds not only that New Yorkers are uber-stressed over
immigration — but that President Biden has but a single-digit lead over
Donald Trump in a hypothetical general-election match-up next year.

Clearly, federal fecklessness has consequences.

Biden is up only nine points – 46% to 37% – in a head-to-head in 2024, an extraordinarily small number in cobalt-blue New York.

Or maybe, just maybe, New York isn’t quite so blue any longer — having
been mugged by a crime-and-chaos tolerant Democratic political
establishment.

Recall that Republican Lee Zeldin came within 7 points of beating Kathy
Hochul in last year’s gubernatorial race — the closest the GOP has come in
a very long time.

Nearly two-thirds of New Yorkers blame Biden for migrant crisis: poll
It’s easy to make too much of such polls, especially those taken a year in advance of the race in question — and at a time of great political and
social turmoil.

After all, Biden may not even be the Democratic nominee next year — and
who knows where Trump will be by then, right?
But this much seems clear: the effective collapse of America’s southern
border comes with downstream political ramifications.

How can one tell if the Siena poll truly reflects public disquiet on immigration? That’s easy — both Hochul and Mayor Adams are very much
acting like it does.

They’re cowards about it, for sure, complaining about costs and then
timidly stating the obvious — the problem is the open border — but
scurrying back under cover, presumably after blowback from both the White
House and New York’s increasingly hard-left Democratic establishment.

Regular New Yorkers have no reason to fear ether, of course.

They get it — it’s hard not to when 100,000-plus penniless supplicants
crowd into your state in just months — and they overwhelmingly tell Siena
they want it stopped.

Biden’s lead over Trump evaporates to 9 points in NY amid migrant crisis
It’s sort of like last year, when crime and related social disorder
dominated the debate, when an obdurately ideological political
establishment blew off those concerns — and when a Republican came
uncommonly close to beating an incumbent Democratic governor.

Now throw in the Biden border collapse — plus the shameful Islamist-terror fellow-traveling by so many Democrats since Oct. 7 — and it should
surprise no one that New York is trending purple.

But purple is one thing; a serious Trump threat to the Democratic
presidential ticket in New York next year would be something quite
different.

Still, earthquakes often follow foreshocks. Kathy Hochul’s close call
could be one such; Tuesday’s Siena poll, another.

So what’s a proud Democrat to do?

Maybe tell Joe Biden that 84% of New Yorkers say his immigration policies
are sinking their state, and that it’s time he does something about that.

The man’s future, such as it is, could depend on it. Also, New York’s.
