If only we had some sort of, I don’t know, wall or something to keep vast numbers of people from just walking into America and then announcing that they don’t want to leave.
And once they’ve invaded the country, what’s the big deal about invading a hotel?
Mayor Eric Adams appears to have another immigration crisis on his hands as single men lodged at a Midtown hotel have been reluctant to move to a new facility at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal.
The mayor wants to use the hotel for families.
It’s a problem city officials apparently didn’t see coming — asylum seekers who got used to the privacy of living in a hotel room don’t want to move to a congregate shelter where everyone sleeps packed like sardines in a room with 1,000 cots.
If only someone could have predicted that migrants who don’t respect borders, might not respect private property either.
A bus with a jaunty “I Love New York” sign arrived at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook on Monday with about a dozen asylum seekers being relocated from the Watson Hotel in Midtown. They were seen lugging black suitcases into the facility amid reports some were none too happy about it.
According to its website, it’s a “hotel thats known for its convenient price, large accommodations, and fantastic location, The Watson Hotel thrives with Americana spirit, art and musings.”
The most recent available rates were $288 a night.
And now the homeless population is expanding.
New York City police cleared groups of migrants from the Watson Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen on Monday, but dozens who refuse to go are still on the street — refusing to back down.
The asylum seekers who refused to leave camped out along 57th Street between 9th and 10th avenues.
Activists say everyone should get a hotel room.
Workers told Eyewitness News reporter Lucy Yang that in addition to staying for free in a luxury hotel, migrants also receive free food, free haircuts and free laundry service.
Advocates are asking migrants not to board the buses. City officials were then left pleading with asylum seekers and promising they’ll have everything they need there.
Single adult men staying at the Watson are being moved so that the space can be occupied by migrant families with children.
Noble of them.
Mayor Eric Adams has a problem, but the good news is that transporting them to Martha’s Vineyard will be cheaper than the hotel rooms.
lol, .defies comment 🙂
The Watson Hotel is now the Roach motel. The roaches check in but they don’t check out.
The thing I always wonder about, is how are the owners going to sanitize the hotel, once the immigrants move out?
Please Note; The griping illegal aliens made their complaints about the motel accommodations in Spanish! How “woke” is that?
I would not want to leave either. That said after the “reign” of that commie, de Blasio, one in every 120 New Yorkers is homeless , that’s 70,000 men, women and children folks. An estimated 4000 and more AMERICAN citizens are living unsheltered in the subways, on the streets of Manhattan, or in one of the other boroughs. Yet, these illegal’s are put into ritzy hotels at the expense of the tax payer and AMERICAN’S are left to rot on the streets. Something is deeply wrong. Wake up America.
The Dirtbagocrats stole the 2020 election, is what’s wrong.
And how many of those 4,000 Americans are Vets, I wonder?
Until we quit calling these lying thieving illegal alien invaders, that includes their brood mares and spawns “migrants” we will never get the results needed to expel them all.
Another example to add to the long list of crazy policies undertaken by our “leaders.”
And stop calling them migrants! Migrants come and go. These “migrants” never leave, as we can see.
Apologies to everyone for my appalling comments and behaviour. That will never happen again.
What appalling comments. I must have missed them 🙂
I have a new one about inefficiency of Progressives in power, which I just found out about today. The Progressives in my former city finally took complete power, the Mayor as well as City Council are Progressive. But businesses are unable to renew their burliness permits for 2023 for some reason, so every business in the city is now operating illegally 🙂
They took the advice of that great American PT Barnum . ‘ Never give a sucker an even break”
By definition, entering this country without going through the proper procedures is illegal. That makes them illegal alien criminals. Criminals belong in jail. So put their illegal alien butts in jail, give them a quick trial, and deport them to Mexico. If they resist then shoot them. And if they come back then hang them in public for the rest of their buddies to see.
And the Big Apple is stuck with them the same goose with their idiot governor unwanted guests are going to stay
How much time and money to detect, apprehend and remove the tens of millions of illegals?
I suggest rescinding prior amnesties as well as abandoning the offering of asylum. It sounded as if it is noble. And that’s as far as it goes. The fact is Biden accepts [ or is that solicits? ] asylum applications online to expedite America’s demise.
I hereby volunteer to operate the trap door of the Biden gallows. I’m not kidding.
Please define “moderation”.
“moderation” means the comment had a keyword that the software detected which is on its list of keywords to send to moderation.
Probably “money” is on the list of words to send to moderation.
