Some of the migrants in sanctuary city New York are already 'terrified' of being deported by Donald Trump - but others are convinced they'll be free from persecution because they aren't criminals.
At the The Roosevelt Hotel shelter, where many have been living for over a year, some say they feel 'traumatized' by Trump's repeated threats.
One mother was seen sobbing in the lobby after the Republican's win was announced early Wednesday.
Another said he is already planning to flee the US and go to Costa Rica, telling Daily Mail: 'I am a scared man.'
'I don’t want them to grab me and hold me in some immigration jail for who knows how long.'
Others, however, are confident they will be allowed to stay because they haven't committed crimes.
They support Trump's plan to get rid of violent criminals, and are not worried about being swept up in his plans to carry out sweeping deportations.
'[Trump] says he’s going to deport the illegal migrants which is not a bad thing. We came here to work and we’re not all the same.... We’re not undocumented,' Venezuelan Fernando Peralta said as he sold drinks from a cooler outside the shelter.
He is registered as an asylum seeker, which gives him hope he will be allowed to remain in the US.
'We’re gonna be fine cause the government should go after the bad guys,' he added.
Peralta claimed that he himself has fallen victim to criminal migrants who have been operating near the shelter and the Times Square area.
'Why would you come here and steal? One of them tried to rob me the other day and I punched him in the face,' an exasperated Peralta said.
'Look how we’re working here and they’re out there stealing.'

WE need to defund and cancel non-profit certification on ALL NGO’s that support and bring aliens into our Country. Like Yesterday!
“ We came here to work and we’re not all the same..”
Then why are you still staying in a government supplied fancy hotel room, with federal monthly cash, with federal monthly food stamps, with NYC monthly “culturally appropriate” food stamps, with free healthcare and a get out of jail free card?
You ARE all the same. Some just try to rationalize a difference.
EC
Because of his recent interview with Fox News where he said, “We’ll need to let in a lot of people. Lot of people.”
Elon Musk got hold of him about the need for more immigration, and ever since Trump has stating such things.
There is also the national debt. For it to grow another $12 trillion or more in the next four years as it is scheduled to grow, there needs to be 42 million more taxpayers.
Fernando thinks he can steal an American job and stay.
I think Trump’s priority list will be to deport
1) violent criminals
2) aliens who voted
3) aliens who registered to vote
4) aliens getting public assistance in any form
5) everyone else
“ free from persecution because they aren’t criminals.”
They are almost certainly criminals because they lied in their applications claiming they are escaping persecution when in fact they are just opportunistic migrants. That is enough grounds for deportation.
Lucy, I found the problem...
...a fabricated myth of progressives & globalists soon to be destroyed with effect
(much to our pleasure).
I also got a kick out of the comment by the guy who said he might go to Costa Rica. Newsflash: Costa Rica has the best run country in Central America and has standards for whom they allow in. Can he meet these standards?
ALL.
“but others are convinced they’ll be free from persecution because they aren’t criminals.”
ALL ILLEGAL ALIENS are criminals.
They don’t get it. They’re here illegally and they’re going back.
We don’t want them here. They don’t belong here.
EXACTLY.
Have you ever heard of one of them refusing welfare?????
Send them back to their sh!thole countries. Get your welfare men to form a better government like our ancestors did. Quit being lazy leeches.
Unfortunately, the aliens were ALLOWED into the country by our government. That’s why Pelosi says more illegal aliens came here under Trump. However, it was against current law for the government to let them in the way they did. This is going to be interesting. We do know that the Trump administration is first going to go after illegals who broke laws in addition to coming here illegally, and that will get rid of the very worst of them.
THEY REFUSE TO ACCEPT THAT THEY ALREADY DID BREAK THE LAW.
INVADERS
WANNA BET???
CRIMINALS
The illegals are getting paid UNDER the table & Sending their $$$$$$ back to countries of origin...MOST of Mexico’s economy depends on these remittances.
THEY ARE NOT TAXPAYERS
THEY GET PAID LOW RATES due to NO SKILLS, etc. IF THEY DO GO ‘ON PAYROLL”, they claim 8 dependents on a W-4 & there is NO income tax deducted.
ONLY FICA/Medicare.
Been there—seen that—did payrolls for years.
Had one new hire-—18-—Mexican-—single—claimed 8 dependents. Called ranch manager & told him there would be NO payroll checks until I had a better W-4. HE said the kid was supporting family in Mexico. I explained that the IRS doesn’t recognize dependents OUTSIDE the the USA. I said I needed a W-4 that was better or I would put him into the system as S-1. I won the battle.
Almost every roofing company in the lower half of the USA used illegals OFF THE BOOKS. Workmen’s COMP for ROOFING is a premium HIGHER than the gross wages. When I did books in the early 90’s for a roofing company-—the premium was 105% of gross wages.
BETCHA it is higher now. That was 32 years ago.
THAT STANDARD SHOULD APPLY
All the illegals let in by Biden got work authorizations.
