‘Tons’ of food gets tossed daily by NYC hotel because migrants won’t eat it

Nearly a ton of taxpayer-provided food gets tossed in the trash every day at a massive Manhattan hotel being used to house migrants — because they’d rather secretly cook their own meals on dangerous hot plates, a whistleblowing worker has revealed.

Disturbing photos show garbage bags full of sandwiches and bagels awaiting disposal at the four-star Row NYC hotel near Times Square, where the city pays a daily rate as high as $500 per room, hotel employee Felipe Rodriguez told The Post.

“It’s a crime to be throwing out so much food,” he said.

Other images show a hotel room littered with empty beer cans and bottles following a wild, World Cup viewing party in November, Rodriguez said.

That gathering — in a room whose occupant “gave the key to a cousin” while she “was in The Bronx, hanging out” — erupted into a fight over the match that left one man with a “big knot on his head,” Rodriguez said.

Rodriguez said he also shot a brief video clip of two female migrants engaged in a hair-pulling fight outside the hotel during New Year’s Eve festivities last week.

The 23-second cellphone recording shows men holding what appear to be beer cans while struggling to separate the women after they tumbled off the sidewalk into the street.

Illegal aliens are the greatest threat to America. We must stop the invasion.

It's a crime for them being here in the first place!

Reminds me of when we used to send plane loads of wheat (Peace Corps) to countries whose populations never cooked with wheat, only rice.

But people felt good.

I guess people are going to have to show proof that they voted (or will vote) Democrat to get any help at all. I do not understand why we have not dissolved into all out civil war yet.

Anything free is just wasting money all the way around. Prison food might be an option.

Great tagline. Maybe add 5* before the word Hotels as an adjective LOL.

Sorry but the “starving homeless veterans” trope is getting old.
Most of the homeless in NYC, veterans or not, are mentally ill, addicted or both. Same is true for most of America.

Only government would be stupid enough to order turkey sandwiches and bagels for people that don’t know what a turkey is instead of feeding them beans, rice and tortillas. You know the stuff they’re used to.

(While they’re giving them enough money to go out and buy their own food.)

So migrants demand to be treated like royalty?

This is complete insanity.

This country is going down because of this.

I don’t disagree- but NY chity still treats illegals better. The city and state treat illegals better than mentally sane, law abiding, tax paying citizens.

I wonder how much of that $500/day per homeless housing rate (that’s over $180,000 per year for folks keeping score) is reimbursed by the federal, or federal through state, government.

This is of course to keep them in the most prime of NYC real estate, rather than out in the less fashionable boroughs.

My guess is those would mostly be homeless illegals who aren’t comfortable with American cuisine.
