Steve Forbes: Mamdani Wants You to Ignore That People Came to This Country to Improve Their Lives and It Worked

EXCERPT:

FORBES: “Success today does not guarantee success tomorrow. And what Mamdani wants you to ignore is that people came to this country precisely because, as Abraham Lincoln put it, you had a chance to improve your lot in life, begin and do things you couldn't do in any other part of the world, and it worked. People had more freedom, people had an opportunity to move ahead, and we all benefited from it. And he wants to take that away. He talks about the slums, he said that when you got off the boat, all you saw were these sordid tenements. Well who's the biggest slumlord in New York City right now? It's the city itself, with public housing.”
