It’s not an outrage to NY’ers yet…. Just wait til they start handing out timbs to these immigrants for free

Breh the sad part is people don't even care. They're just like

Good luck to anyone still trapped in that hellhole.

Same thing happened with the trans stuff, same thing happened with lgbq stuff

sorry, breh. democrats don't get to just be embarrassingly wrong on issues, in front of the entire country, without any pushback

by the way, how many migrants are you volunteering to house?

The hotels will reserve rooms for asylum-seeking families for up to 28 days under the contract with the Hotel Association of New York City, a spokesperson for the city’s Department of Housing Preservation and Development confirmed.


Rooms will be available through the month of July. The hotels are meant as a backup plan if space runs out at city shelters.


After 28 days, families who are still seeking shelter will be directed to the city’s Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers to receive another placement.

Who are these asylum seekers?

Many arrivals to New York City last year were Venezuelans who had entered through the southern border. More than seven million refugees and migrants had left Venezuela, a country of 29 million people, as of February, according to Response for Venezuelans, a joint effort between the International Organization for Migration and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. It’s the second largest external displacement crisis in the world, according to the U.N. commission.


More recently, a large number of migrants have also been coming from countries in Africa. Some are also coming from China.

This was a year ago

Yeah, the model is horrific. Eric Adams hates the poor.

Who are these asylum seekers?

Even more interesting, U.S. policy has created these asylum seekers.

We’ve attempted to assassinate their leaders, attempted coups, put sanctions on their countries, limited economic growth by blocking support from nearby nations, utilized their proletariat population for the production of commodities both legal and illegal, shipped gangs and right-wing guerillas back to their nations, and then imparted stiff immigration policies for those trying to escape.

You’re posting in a thread that’s most likely being started by a right wing opreative. Wouldn’t waste too much time on it

Same thing happened with the trans stuff, same thing happened with lgbq stuff, same
Thing happened with (insert any democrat “scandal”)… etc TLR is quite literally in lockstep with racist/bigoted/white supremacist online media and oddly no question it

I’ve been watching it happen for a while on this site.

Embarrassing - but the deluge is hard to control.

10 sec into reading into the policy you’d discover it’s also fukk the world’s citizens (unless you’re Israeli or a specific set of US backed settlers)

 

[TaxCollector13459]

If they’re also housing the citizens who are homeless, I see no problem here. If not…

Meanwhile American citizens that have children are sleeping on the streets in cars
I’ll be a bigot to you nimwit coli bytches

It will bring them aid too. No one gave a single fukk about homeless people until they started housing migrants.

I know and it's pathetic that responsibility lands on non-profits.

We imprison more people than the rest of the world combined but can't find money for those in need.

Giving people the absolute bare minimum is not a luxury
