Wall Street firms are fleeing New York City and have been doing so for a few years now. It has reportedly cost the city a trillion dollars. A TRILLION.

This is happening at the same time that the illegal immigrants are costing the city millions of dollars a day. It’s an absolute disaster for the Big Apple.
