So where does that migrant entitlement mentality come from in New York City? Look to what the illegal aliens heard (and saw) from their government, growing up in Venezuela

Excellent choice

It’s a dam good thing this wasn’t happening 2 years ago when I was sleeping on the street at 72 years of age after my community was burned out by the radical left! I’d have killed someone!

Nothing more dangerous than an old woman who has lost everything! Some of my elderly neighbors who haven’t died since,are still trying to get home! Me included.

Mariel.

Marianna with 2 Ns is a little town in the Panhandle of Florida.

And most of the Mariel refugees were decent folks.

I stand corrected but I got the gist my point across. thank you for your correction

I know that some posters like to jump on the Catholic church as being responsible for this massive invasion of illegal aliens who are flooding America. However, even the Catholic church has not got the resources to finance millions of illegals and in fact have been bringing in, legally, immigrants who are pre vetted and who are placed in sponsor homes. I have never supported this arrangement because it is outside the realm of the spiritual mission of the Church. I would also point out that other denominational and independent non Catholic churches are just as involved in legally sponsoring foreigners under the same requirements as applied to the Catholic church.

That mentality comes from the leftist loonies who are out there encouraging them.

VZ is dysfunctional, they all know it, and that’s why they’re leaving.

But when they get to NYC, they are received by a radical leftwing group that is urging them to demand empty luxury rental apartments on 59th St.

Sort of reminds one of Dr. Zhivago going back to his old house only to find that the Soviets had filled it up with other people.

I will NEVER accept it. I will go down shaking my fist and cursing the monsters who brought about our replacement.

Freaking MAKE the migrants leave! If I was staying in a hotel and “refused to leave,” they would darned well make me leave. Why are these people so precious and entitled?

It goes much deeper than that. These Catholic charities were actually in these countries organizing, Handing out leaflets And giving directions, Helping way across the border then they were putting them up once is across the border. These catholic charities organized it from the very beginning right up to the flood of Immigrants, remember All the people that were 10,000 strong groups that were coming up from south America?
giveing them ‘I love Joe Biden” T-shirts.

Military aged men are being brought in to conquer our nation.

"They stopped the wall construction, we had built hundreds of miles of wall ... 3 weeks left on the addition. The Democrats sued us, 11 different lawsuits, we won all the lawsuits. It's an onslaught what's coming in ... People are coming in, they are very ill, now they are emptying out their prisons and their mental institutions, they (Maduro's Venezuelan dictatorship) are very smart people -- why should they pay for (that) when they can dump everyone in the United States? It is incredibly expensive to run prisons and mental institutions, when the Stupid People running The United States will do it for them! And what they are doing is poisoning our country. "I just thought of this the other day ... I'm coming up to a place (NH) that "gets it": Every day in the United States is April Fool's Day. We have open borders, when they should be closed. April Fool's Day. We have prisoner's and people from mental institutions and terrorists being dumped into our country, when they should not be accepted. April Fool's Day, right. Who would do that? Who would do this? (audience member yells "Brandon")" -- President Donald Trump, Jan. 28, 2023

Note that in August 2019, United States President Donald Trump signed an executive order to impose a total economic embargo against Venezuela. In March 2020, the Trump administration indicted Maduro and several Venezuelan officials, including the Chief Justice of the Supreme Tribunal, on charges of drug trafficking, narcoterrorism, and corruption.

What is Bidendroprov's response? Let all these Venez mojados into the US so they can recreate their communist shithole right here.

That and to make it a catholic nation

I don’t forget to loot, that’s why I think they’re really here. they see our country is ready to collapse, the society is ready to collapse and they are just here to loot the place cause we got all the good stuff. Imagine vultures circling a carcass

[AuntB]

Oh, bs! Defend the Catholic church! There’s no defense of their betrayal of this country and your GOD!

[yldstrk]

Activist attorneys are manipulating these illegal immigrants. The illegal immigrants are not “migrants”.

[Bubba_Leroy]

So why don’t they go back home to their socialist utopias where they can get all of the free housing they want?

They are like the democrats from California who flee to neighboring states and then vote to enact the same left-wing policies that caused them to flee California in the first place.

[caww]

Of course they brought thier culture leanings and beliefs with them.....they aren't here to assimulate, they're here to demand what they want and the activists are those who were formerly from their country so easy to tap into them.........

Just wait until they begin to protest!....like they do in their country.

[mountainfolk]

I explained the facts. The Catholic Church is not on trial, nor is it responsible, for illegal aliens invading America. No defense needed. The communist democrat party administration is responsible for open borders and all of the laws broken in the process of this invasion. The Constitution requires defense of our borders and obviously the Biden govt is aiding and abetting this treasonous illegal alien invasion.

[monkeyshine]

All other issues aside, if you were a single male who was given a free hotel room would you want to be moved to a marine barracks sharing one of 1000 cots?

The Biden Admin’s inaction on this front is catastrophic. It’s bad for the country, bad for the cities, bad for the immigrants, bad for the legal residents, bad for young people who end up getting fentanyl laced pills, bad for the people being sex-trafficked. It’s good for the Cartel - probably the same Cartel that got Eric Holder’s cache of rifles.

[monkeyshine]

We already have housing shortages and housing inflation. Increasing demand for apartments and homes by, call it 2 million “families” (the true number of migrants is probably closer to 7 million) is not just going to make legal residents pay more for housing; it’s going to take a decade to build enough housing units and of course the big question - where to build them? They obviously can’t easily build 20,000 new units in New York City. And I bet the border states are loathe to approve large scale housing projects for low income families.

The Venezuelan Government has been coordinating and facilitating large numbers of emigrants, who are part of problematic towns and groups. But it appears that many aren’t fleeing communism. They’re coming for ‘better’, richer communism. Not to work, and for the ‘American Dream’, but for more robust social programs and ‘American Largess’.
