You recall that a few busloads of illegal immigrants from the U.S. southern border were sent to New York City…because Texas already had more than its share, and the governor there thought it was only right for liberal politicians in major cities to see how they’d handle such an invasion in their backyards.
And you probably recall that the city opted to put many of them up at a midtown Manhattan hotel—better digs than you or I could afford, quite likely—while they figured out what to do.
Here’s the update…the illegal immigrants like the free hotel life so much, they are now refusing to leave.
The city set up a migrant shelter in Brooklyn…and while some did make the move willingly, many refused to leave and joined a protest outside the hotel organized by migrant activists, preferring to spend the cold night on the street instead of going to Brooklyn.
Mayor Eric Adams claims the new shelter contains hospitable accommodations, and said the Big Apple is in dire need of state and federal government support due to this migrant crisis.
They’ve gotten, by the mayor’s estimate, 42,000 migrants in the city since last spring. By comparison, the number encountered on the U.S. southwest land border in December alone was more than 216,000—again, in a single month, all in that border region—yet the formerly mainstream media seems more concerned about New York than Texas or Arizona, for example. To his credit, New York’s mayor did go to the border—the real border, not the sanitized photo op areas the White House frequents—and said the migrant surge was a “national crisis”.
Some migrants who went to that new center in Brooklyn immediately turned around and went back to the hotel, saying there was a lack of heat and bathroom space.
That’s one of the problems with the free hotel room plan…they got used to it and now demand nothing less in terms of cost (free) and quality (high). Good luck keeping order with all that.
