Gitmo is closer.

Why are hospitals paying for the housing of illegals?

[BenLurkin]

Yes, but the nice Reds who run New Zealand will be happy to house and feed illegal aliens.

[Eagles6]

Former HS official said each illegal will cost taxpayer a minimum of $1,000,000.
At least 10,000,000 have been let in.
Do the math.

The Big Apple’s public hospital system plans to spend more than $90 million to house migrants in four Midtown Manhattan hotels through the spring in response to President Biden’s border crisis...

As long as my tax dollars are not involved, I don't care. If my tax dollars ARE involved, color me enraged.

The border situation is not a crisis, it is a disaster and will remain such until Biden and Mayorakas are gone.

Send them to a -7 star flea bag hotel in the 'hood

They should be housing them in prison camps, pending deportation.

Can’t they at least put them in the f#$@ mill motels along King’s Highway in Brooklyn? They’d fit right in, and it’s cheaper.

Just 2.5 years ago there was a 2500 bed facility in port. And another 2500 beds at the Javitz center. Why not ask Biden for them. Call it a mercy mission.

Since when it a hosptial’s responsibility to house illegals?

[scrabblehack]

Another $20 million is going to the Watson Hotel on West 57th Street in Hell’s Kitchen

Hmm...CBS Headquarters is about a block away.

Damages? Why are they getting free room and board and free medical care to begin with? They are here illegally!!!!! Needy US citizens get nothing like this.

And NYC is holding its corrupt pockets out to its many retirees from teachers to firefighters and police, claiming they can't afford to continue to honor the City Charter promise of retiree healthcare. So they are trying to force retirees, who gave decades of service to the city, to accept vastly inferior healthcare while they stumble all over themselves to treat these illegal criminal invaders to all the comforts of home on taxpayer money. I'd love to see all the lawmakers and other NYC cretin libtard filth lined up against a wall for the attempt to seriously screw over people who worked so hard for decades in the expectation of what was guaranteed them.

[Machavelli]

Let’s start calling it the Rotten Apple! Much more descriptive.

[Bernard]

Yes, but if we made a practice of shipping every illegal to Gitmo where they could have a choice of staying in the camp or walking into Cuba, it might actually discourage the next illegals from coming into our country in the first place.
