The forgotten borough wants to be remembered.

Staten Islanders are renewing calls for a breakaway from the Big Apple — with Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial call to bus migrants to a local shuttered Catholic school proving to be the latest breaking point.

One local pol even has an idea for the independent borough’s new slogan: “Nonsicut tu quoque,” City Councilman Joe Borelli told The Post.

It roughly translates to, “We don’t like you either.”

Staten Island has always been an odd fit within the five boroughs, sitting on the outskirts of New York City with a predominantly conservative Republican population that butts heads with the rest of the city. 

“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,” Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) said on NY1 Wednesday morning. “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 said. “I hope they do reconsider this.” 

According to locals, now is the time. 

“Let’s do it!” said resident Joseph Milkie, 41. “We should get a bigger percentage of the Verrazano tolls to subsidize what it costs us to break away. What the city is doing to our neighborhood stinks.”

Anthony Antico, a 56-year-old contractor and lifelong Staten Islander, said he’s behind secession “100%.”

“Our values do not line up with the other boroughs,” Antico said Wednesday. “We do not believe in woke politics. Right is right, and wrong is wrong.” 

Massive protests broke out on the Island 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.

The city has responded by beefing up police presence, as hundreds continue to gather outside the former school, which is now owned by the city — as neighbors claim they fear having unvetted migrants in their midst.

“The secession part is definitely boiling as someone who was around 30 years ago and watched it and supported it then,” said Staten Island Borough President Vite Fossella. “People just felt no one was listening, and they were better off on their own.”

“Nobody wants a migrant shelter in the middle of a neighborhood near a school,” Fossella said. “It’s not just Republicans, it’s also Democrats. If we can’t say no to this, maybe we should go off on our own.”

Adams has also condemned hateful language emerging at the demonstrations, saying this is a time for unity. 

But 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 Borelli, the City Council minority leader, 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, 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, three council members and a borough president who have little say in governing it than asking nicely,” he continued.

He also wasn’t the only one thinking ahead to the borough’s new motto.

“Dove la diversity incontra l’armonia,” suggested WABC 770 radio host Frank Morano suggested. It’s Italian for, “Where diversity meets harmony.”

John Piscopo, who owns Ciro’s Pizza on Staten Island, had a simpler idea.

“Gimme pizza or gimme death!”
