New York City has long been grappling with the issue of traffickers and pimps operating in plain sight. In Corona, a brothel is now running just across the street from a kids' museum, and it's being advertised on TikTok. This blatant disregard for the safety and well-being of children is unacceptable.

"The Battle Against Brothels in New York's Heartland"

Queens Hall of Science: A Family-Focused Destination

The Queens Hall of Science is a place where kids come to explore and learn about various scientific concepts. It's a haven for young minds, with exhibits on planets, dinosaurs, and basic chemistry and physics. However, the presence of a brothel nearby has cast a dark cloud over this family-centric institution.This museum is not only close to one but two elementary schools, making it a place where children gather regularly. The idea that pimps, hookers, and johns can run wild in such a vicinity is beyond comprehension. Local leader Hiram Monserrate aptly put it, "Everyone has failed us. Every single elected official — the NYPD, the state, the governor, everyone has failed us."

The Biden Border Disaster and Its Impact

The explosion of brothels staffed by sex trafficking is directly linked to the Biden border disaster. The influx of illegal migrants has created a breeding ground for such criminal activities. New York's "sanctuary city" rules have also played a role in enabling these brothels to thrive. Our progressive overlords' insistence on treating illegal migrants as privileged guests has only worsened the situation.The NYPD, once again, finds itself in the unenviable position of having to clean up a mess made by others. Until real border enforcement is implemented and the millions of illegal migrants are deported, the problem of sex trafficking and brothels will continue to plague New York.

NYPD's Cleanup Operations and the Hope for Relief

New York's Finest, along with the State Police sent in by Gov. Kathy Hochul, need to extend their cleanup operations beyond the "Market of Sweethearts" at the core of the red-light district. Even if they are currently playing a game of Whack-a-Mole, they must persevere until Team Trump can get federal enforcement rolling.The incoming administration's promise to end the inflows with real border enforcement gives hope for lasting relief. But it's a damning indictment of New York's political class that residents and sex-trafficking victims have to wait until the local establishment's designated devil takes power for true change to occur.We must all stand together to ensure the safety and well-being of our children and put an end to this shameful chapter in New York's history.
