Danzo cites African immigrant population statistics and human stories
Danzo cites the resolution's statistics: about 167,000 African immigrants in New York City, roughly 5.4% of the foreign-born population, and about 60,000 in the Bronx. Danzo says numbers cannot tell the whole story, pointing to families, dreams, students, and stories of courage, sacrifice, and hope behind each figure.
The resolution before you recognize the contributions, the council resolutions know that approximately 167,000 African immigrants live in New York City, representing about 5.4%
of the city's foreign-born populations.
And that is the Bronx is the home to approximately 60,000 African immigrants.
But numbers cannot tell our whole stories.
Behind every number, there's a family.
Behind every business, there's a dream.
Behind every student, there's a future.
And behind every immigrant, there's a story of courage, sacrifice, and hope.
