You're not interested in the way the national immigration/migration/asylum issues are manifesting for New Yorkers? Fine, I guess. It's an odd thing to run around policing. Did you say "Why should 310 million people who don't live in Peoria care?" when somebody posted a story of a local kid killed in Afghanistan?
