National security? Preventing jihad terror attacks? Pah! Politically correct pandering is all that matters.

“De Blasio Administration Promises Muslims It Will ‘Fight Back’ Against Donald Trump,” by Madina Toure, Observer, November 11, 2016:


Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Nisha Argawal said the city will have to “wait and see” what kinds of policies President-Elect Donald Trump actually tries to implement once he’s sworn in, but vowed the city would continue to support and advocate on behalf of Muslims and immigrants generally.

Agarwal—a public interest lawyer whom Mayor Bill de Blasio appointed to head the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs in February 2014—was part of the panel last night on how the election results would affect Muslims in the United Stats and how to combat discrimination at the New York Law School that included professors and advocates. The event was organized well before the election actually took place, when few foresaw an electoral triumph for Trump and his campaign promises to bar people from Middle Eastern countries from entering the United States.

“I don’t think that President-Elect Trump had the most detailed policy platform so to some extent, we will have to just wait and see what he decides to do,” Agarwal said. “A really important thing that we’ve been thinking about, we have power to impact that. That’s the reality of democracy: we can impact that at the local level in terms of how we behave.”

She said Trump’s proposals lack depth but that the city can leverage its partnership with affected communities and other American cities to determine “what we bring to D.C. when we need to fight back and if we need to fight back.”

De Blasio told reporters Wednesday and Thursday that he was willing work with Trump but pledged to protect the records of the city’s municipal identification program, which gives I.D.s to undocumented immigrants and other marginalized groups. Agarwhal said that 900,000 New Yorkers have signed up for the IDNYC program since it launched last January….

“Wendy Sample”, Nisha Agarwal, And The Face Of (Illegal) Immigrant ID In New York

This, from the NYT story referenced below, is the imaginary face on the new ID cards for illegal immigrants in Bill DeBlasio’s New York:



You’ll notice that the face is a charming young white woman (the name “Sample” is Anglo-Norman) who has elected to be an organ donor.

Below are some of the real people getting the ID cards: 

They will probably not elect to be organ donors–minorities mostly don’t. I say it’s lack of civic engagement, they say it’s paranoia.

And this is Nisha Agarwal, [Email her | Twitter] New York’s Commissioner of Immigrant Affairs, in charge of giving out the ID cards, the purpose of which is to help give illegals the rights and benefits of citizens. 

Agarwal is the child of legal immigrants from India, and she’s also a “public interest lawyer” with a chip on her shoulder:


Agarwal, who has a passion for social justice, said she’s also planning to have her own advocacy agenda — and spoke alongside activists and religious leaders last week at a Foley Square immigrant rights rally.

Her interest in fighting injustice was sparked early — and shaped by her relatives, said Agarwal, whose grandfather marched with Mahatma Gandhi.

When neighbors put up a new swing set but wouldn’t allow everyone to play on it, a young Agarwal was furious.

“That was my earliest memory of injustice, I thought it was terrible. But my response at the time was just to sort of throw rocks and to get really angry,” she said.

“My parents sat me down and said, ‘First of all, maybe you shouldn’t do that. We appreciate your instinct to fight injustice but throwing rocks is not the way to do it. Let us tell you about this man, who is from the country that we come from, who is Gandhi, and he believes in nonviolence.’”

“I think from the earliest stages of my life through my parents and other role models I have had this sense of wanting to do social justice work,” she said

Nisha Agarwal thrilled by challenge
