Due to intentional mass replacement immigration, New York City is now a third world metropolis wearing the Big Apple as a skin suit
According to the data I've seen, people who were born in the USA didn’t largely support Mamdani, foreign-born voters did.
His election is not the beginning of the end for NYC, it’s a reminder that everything comes back to immigration.
If we don’t stop mass immigration and accelerate deportations and remigration, this will happen over and over again until the United States is nothing more than a disparate conglomeration of Mumbai, Mogadishu, and Mexico City.
This interpretation is plausible and supported by pre-election polling data, which shows Zohran Mamdani's' support was disproportionately driven by foreign-born voters in New York City.
While post-election breakdowns by birthplace aren't yet fully available (as of November 5, 2025), the available evidence from surveys and analyses is very interesting.
A Patriot Polling survey of registered voters (conducted October 18–19, 2025) provided the clearest split by birthplace, revealing a stark divide. Among U.S.-born New Yorkers, Andrew Cuomo led with 40% support, Mamdani trailed at 31%, and Curtis Sliwa had 25%.
Among foreign-born New Yorkers, Mamdani dominated with 62% support, compared to Cuomo's 24% and Sliwa's 12%.This gap was echoed in other polls and analyses.
An Emerson College/PIX11 News poll (released October 30, 2025) previewed similar trends, with Mamdani at 71% among foreign-born black voters and 62% among foreign-born respondents overall.
Documented's analysis of primary results (June 2025) found Mamdani winning a majority of first-round votes in “immigrant neighborhoods” (defined as areas where more than 50% of residents were born outside the U.S.), including South Asian, East Asian, and Latino enclaves in Queens and the Bronx.
About 37% of New York City’s population (roughly 3.1–3.3 million people) is foreign-born, per U.S. Census data.
Among registered voters, this group turns out at rates comparable to or higher than native-born voters in urban elections, especially in boroughs like Queens (Mamdani’s district).
Mamdani’s campaign emphasized affordability—rent freezes, free buses, a $30/hour minimum wage—which resonated in immigrant communities.
He won big in South Asian (58% of Asian vote), Latino (30+ point margin), and Muslim enclaves, per exit polls from NBC News and India Today, hardly right-wing spin machines.
Post-election analyses from
The New York Times and
USA Today highlight his surge in “working-class immigrant enclaves in Queens and the Bronx,” offsetting weaker support among native-born groups like older white voters and Orthodox Jews.
Mamdani secured over 1 million votes (about 50%+ of the total) in a high-turnout election (with over 2 million ballots supposedly cast, he highest in 50 years). If foreign-born voters (estimated 30–40% of the electorate) backed him at 62%, that bloc alone could have delivered 300,000–400,000 votes, enough to tip the scales given his narrower 31% among U.S.-born voters.
Not all foreign-born voters went for him. He underperformed in some Caribbean and Russian enclaves where resident have recent experience with Communist/Socialist policies.
In short, foreign-born voters weren’t just a plurality of Mamdani’s base. They were likely the majority driver of his margin. This reflects broader trends in immigrant-heavy urban elections.
