Employ migrants?
So migrants held a rally at City Hall to advocate for legal work (“Over 1,000 African migrants swarm NYC’s City Hall over supposed falsely promised green cards,” April 16).
New York City has already spent huge amounts of money on migrants. Because ours is a sanctuary city, migrants come for hand-outs, feeling they deserve everything coming to them, yet they pay no taxes.
People who arrived here in previous generations earned their keep by immigrating via the proper systems. It’s about time to do away with the sanctuary-city status. It will eventually ruin New York.

School censors
Let me get this straight: A 16-year-old student uses the term “illegal alien” and gets suspended from school for three days (“School ban over word ‘illegal,’ ” April 18)?
An incensed fellow student threatened him by saying he wanted to fight him. Much of the public school system is now openly against the idea of free speech, but what about violence? Not a problem, apparently.
The parents, who hired an attorney, are about to kick the butt of that school’s tyrannical stance and its “speech police.” Our founders have to be rolling in their graves right now.

Treatment truths
I am writing to correct several misunderstandings in your article (“Pol: Kat ill-treats Harlem,” April 15).
First, no new opioid treatment programs are being opened in Harlem. The opioid treatment programs that provide life-saving care are longstanding and were developed in response to patients’ needs.
The opioid overdose and death crisis is soaring in New York, particularly in Harlem. Methadone clinics are part of the solution and treatment for opioid-use disorder and should not be confused with the underlying problems we seek to solve.
Patients in Harlem deserve evidence-based treatment, not stigma.

Sterling’s last call
We will miss Yankees sportscaster John Sterling (“Yankees lose their voice,” April 16).
One of my favorite Sterling calls was his second sentence after Mark Teixeira hit a home run: “Oh, you’re on the Mark, Teixeira.”
I remember being on vacation in Italy during the Yankees’ 2009 World Series run. Every morning, we would head down to an internet cafe in town and listen to the playoff game’s highlights. The absolute highlight was hearing Sterling’s home-run calls. We hope he has a very happy retirement.

Bridge questions
It took three weeks to open a probe into this (“FBI’s eye on bridge collision,” April 16).
On the assumption that it may have been an avoidable tragedy, i.e. the result of egregious human error or callous disregard, that delay may have afforded the captain and crew enough time to corroborate each other’s statements to investigators. Any need for crew members to hear and speak through interpreters during this investigation might obfuscate critical nuances in questions heard and testimony given.
Now, the Baltimore bridge collapse truly may have been an unfortunate accident — but foot-dragging from within this administration has surely not been very helpful thus far.
