Free goodies are migrant magnets exacerbating the border crisis
New York Post ^ | January 17, 2023 | Betsy McCaughey

Posted on 01/17/2023 6:42:22 PM PST by karpov

My sister-in-law, a nurse on Cape Cod, wants to visit New York City and is struggling to find an affordable hotel.

If she were a Venezuelan migrant who’d just arrived in the Big Apple on a bus from the southern border, she’d have a shot at a room at the four-star Row, steps from Times Square. Or a room at a SpringHill Suites by Marriott, a Holiday Express or a Comfort Inn. Free of charge.

Welcome to Hotel America! Newly arriving migrants are also getting three meals a day courtesy of room service, snacks at any time — and, at some hotels, computer facilities and playrooms for the kids. All paid for by local taxpayers.

New York, already a sanctuary city, is turning itself into a migration magnet by offering these over-the-top freebies.

Maine is another migration magnet. It’s the poorest state in the Northeast and one of the poorest in the nation. Even so, it’s the destination of choice for Haitian and African migrants. Maine rolls out the red carpet.

Some 400 migrant families are living in hotels and motels in Maine. To foot the bill, the state’s Housing Authority dipped into Emergency Rental Assistance funds Congress provided to help people who couldn’t pay their rent during the COVID lockdowns.

Some states reserved the funds for residents facing homelessness, but Maine allowed the money to house newcomers. Now that federal cash has dried up, the state is asking taxpayers to fork over $182 million for the migrants’ hotel and motel rooms.

All the while, Maine is facing the highest rate of homelessness in 15 years, with shelters near capacity and homeless locals desperate to survive winter in tents.

What’s to blame for this Americans-last policy? The “immigration-industrial complex”

The sooner “exacerbate” goes out of style, the better. Stupidest fad ever, the increasing use of that term.

The DemonRats have never cared too much about the Conservative brand of politics.

Conservatism works every single time it is used in the correct sense of the word.

Rush Limbaugh was the greatest at this and he just died too early.

It’s only going to get worse when the the whole country collapses.

There is no end in sight for this without shutting down the free gravy train.

Even the Mexican Presidente admitted publicly, the other day, that there are 40,000,000 wetback MIVs in the U.S...
(Undoubtedly, he was understating the true numbers...)

He knows this with great accuracy because of the 30-to-40 billion untaxed dollars the MIVs have been sending back to Mexico for the past couple of decades...

All while they have been siphoning trillions of dollars out of the economy through welfare, education, crime, and healthcare...

Ted Kennedy won the game...

Those, plus the 15,000,000 or so other MIVs from other s_hole countries, will make up a huge block of fraudulently voting MIVs in 2024...

Soros will have an easy time getting the ruling communists to the permanent 115-to-120 million vote level for 2024 and beyond...

Maybe the sister-in-law can get a menial job cleaning the toilets for the illegals or pushing a food cart to bring them room service. American citizens do that kind of work to support their families.

Outrageous. The fault of the city dwellers for allowing it all passively.

As Office Space taught us, bad things like those involving the guacamole can crash profits at a hotel. After a warm farewell at a company headquarters building.

"Newly arriving migrants"

They are not "migrants". They are illegal alien foreign INVADERS.

$500 a night sounds expensive for a hotel room, but it is NYC. When you get a discount room like that, do you have to bring your own cockroaches, or do they come with the room fee?

Obrador knows the exact number how many of his grubby little moochers are in the US.

There's an entire Mexican government agency called Ministerio Del Norte, The Ministry of The North whose soul function is into expedite these parasites in our country.

Mexico , for all intents and purposes has been conducting an active war of infiltration of it's citizens into the US for decades. It's a form of war fare, economic, political and most importantly a war of numbers. Unloading numbers of the poor and indignant of the Mexican underclass and also with the express purpose of planting an army of young, military males here with the purpose of attaining, at the very least the ability to vote in our elections, to vote that is for Democrats and to permanently change the population and political dynamics in the US. The cartels now control our southern and the Democrats, with Stupid Joe as the figure head mean to change the demographics of this nation by flooding it with hordes of illiterate, arrogant beggars and life time Democratic voters. This is a war, one a subterfuge but a war none the less. Mexico is an enemy to the US, not an ally by any means.

Mexico used to want AZ and CA back...

Now they are approaching the position of capturing the entire U.S.

This is the result of Ted Kennedy’s well-planned and executed concept of making the U.S. the birthing mother for the world...

That, and unending welfare, education, and healthcare, guaranteed that, by 2030. wetback will be the national language and the majority (60%) of U.S. citizens will be hispanic...
