Controversial tent city for asylum seekers on NYC’s Randall’s Island closing next week

The controversial tent city housing migrants on Randall’s Island is set to close next week, The Post has confirmed.

The single adult men who have been living at the makeshift complex, which was open for just over a month, will be moved to the Watson Hotel in Manhattan, according to an email to councilmembers obtained by The Post.

“This site was always intended to be temporary-and the City believes that the Watson Hotel HERRC is the most effective and efficient option for single adult men,” the email reads.

The National Guard, which was called in to help deal with the influx of migrants from Texas, was told to expect to close the site down by Nov. 16, sources said.

The temporary housing was set up last month to screen the busloads of asylum seekers before moving them into the city’s shelter system.

While everybody’s focused on the theatrics of this spectacle (TX shipping those mongrels north, etc), let’s not lose sight of the fact that we’ll never rid ourselves of them. They are now permanent fixtures on the landscape and will hasten our trajectory to implosion.

How much money was wasted on this tent city debacle for 1 month? Bet it was millions.

Hotel owners in New York City are fleecing taxpayers in other states to house these illegal alien invaders.

It's a criminal racket and these korporate owners are in on it.

The Federal income tax has to go. These crimes need to be defunded.

Well, isn’t that special. I wonder if they will model their services after the idiots in Kalifornia and San Francisco. They actually delivered alcohol and drugs to the bums they had put up in hotels (sometimes in very nice hotels). Spending other people’s money can make you so creative.

I’ll have Manhattan!
The Bronx and Staten Island too.
It’s lovely going through
The zoo.
It’s very fancy
On old Delancey Street,
you know.
The subway charms us so
When balmy breezes blow
To and fro.
And tell me what street
Compares with Mott Street In July?
Sweet pushcarts gently
gliding by.
The great big city’s a wondrous toy
Made for a girl and boy.
We’ll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

We’ll turn Manhattan
Into an isle of joy.

I’ll take Manhattan
I’ll take Manhattan
