New York City Won't Force Naked Beggars to At Least Get a Licence, Because Most are Illegal Immigrants and Wouldn't Comply Anyway

In NYC, naked "desnuda" street beggars wearing only some body paint and maybe a thong are aggressively panhandling for money. They're supposed to remain in a designated zone, but they frequently leave the zone to harass people for money. Oh, and also, expose children to street nudity.

NYC won't crack down on them because most are illegals.

Lewd and rude “desnudas” – naked female panhandlers – are harassing tourists in New York’s Times Square, but cops reportedly can’t arrest them “because most of them are illegal immigrants.”

The desnudas -- a Spanish word meaning "naked" -- are part of a Times Square assembly of popular costumed children’s characters and mostly-naked females hitting tourists up for money in the uber-popular New York City district. A law enforcement source told The New York Post that past proposals to license the often obnoxious street performers went nowhere because most of them are illegal immigrants and wouldn’t register anyway. Plus, City Hall, under Democratic Mayor Bill de Blasio, isn’t interested in going after illegals such as the desnudas, the source told The Post.

The offense itself is not that great in the scheme of things.

What is truly offensive is that American political officials continue to privilege non-citizens with Get Out of Jail Free passes that are not on offer to actual American citizens.

On the other hand, there is the thread, which I imagine will remain only a threat, that ICE could begin arresting sanctuary city officials for unlawfully harboring illegal aliens.

(PS, pardon the slumpbuster -- I need to start off light. Like a warm-up.)
