Narrative:
They make us work staggered 22L/right final in VFR conditions and the airspace is such that all aircraft have to be descended below the class B. A busy VFR airport lies below the base leg and I almost had a mid air with a VFR jet; 1200 code; climbing into an air carrier. Change the airspace; or class B; or don't have us use this approach in VFR weather. There will be a mid air here if this continues.

Title: N90 TRACON Controller states it is facility policy to descend below the Class Bravo which causes conflict with busy VFR airport airspace on base leg to major airport.
Narrative: They make us work staggered 22L/R final in VFR conditions and the airspace is such that all aircraft have to be descended below the Class B. A busy VFR airport lies below the base leg and I almost had a mid air with a VFR jet; 1200 code; climbing into an air carrier. Change the airspace; or Class B; or don't have us use this approach in VFR weather. There will be a mid air here if this continues.
