Rep. Nicole Malliotakis renewed calls for Staten Island to possibly secede from New York City as residents continue to rage about migrant sites in the borough.

“I mean, I hear all the jokes all the time that they would love to get rid of Staten Island, well, this is your opportunity,” Malliotakis (R-SI/Brooklyn) said on NY1 Wednesday morning, adding, “I think Staten Island would like to have an opportunity to self-govern.”

“The reality is the City Council and the state Legislature would need to let Staten Island go,” she added. “I hope they do reconsider this.”

On Staten Island, protests have erupted over the past week in response to the city’s decision to use a closed-down school, St. John Villa Academy, in the Arrochar section of the borough as a makeshift 300-bed living space.

NYPD has responded to the demonstrations with an increased presence, as hundreds continue to gather outside the former school, which is now owned by the city.

Locals claim they are not anti-immigrant but say they are fearful for the safety of their neighborhood.

Mayor Eric Adams has condemned hateful language emerging at the demonstrations, saying this is a time for unity. Malliotakis said residents’ fears stem from reports they’re seeing after shelters open elsewhere in the city and state.

“They’re reading newspaper articles about two rapes that occurred at a shelter upstate, drug use outside of shelters where there were overdoses here in Manhattan,” she said.

“They’re reading articles — just yesterday, CNN reported that the FBI identified that there are migrants that are being smuggled by ISIS that they’re trying to locate.”

The lawmaker urged city officials to better vet those entering NYC’s asylum-seeking process, as thousands flood into the state each week.

As of last week, more than 100,000 migrants have gone through the Big Apple since last spring.

“I’m sure [there are] many people who are good people, but the reality is they are not coming through the proper process,” Malliotakis said.

Last year, Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R-Staten Island) introduced a bill that would “study and report on the feasibility” of Staten Island becoming its own city.

The bill, which was the second attempt at Staten Island seceding during his tenure in office, failed to move forward.

Borelli voiced his continued support for the move on Wednesday, saying the current situation, “is not a democracy on its best day.”

“We are a city the size of Miami and Atlanta with a larger tax base and elect three council members and a borough president who have little say in governing it than asking nicely,” he continued.
