Nearly two dozen struggling homeless veterans have been booted from upstate hotels to make room for migrants, says a nonprofit group that works with the vets.

The ex-military — including a 24-year-old man in desperate need of help after serving in Afghanistan — were told by the hotels at the beginning of the week that their temporary housing was getting pulled out from under them at the establishments and that they’d have to move on to another spot, according to the group and a sickened local pol.

“Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on with the immigrants,’’ said Sharon Toney-Finch, the CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation.

Toney-Finch, a disabled military veteran, created YIT to raise awareness of premature births, as well as helping the homeless and low-income military service veterans in need of living assistance.

So moved from one hotel 20 minutes away to another hotel.

My question, is the other hotel better?

How much money per person is the Federal government subsidizing these migrants?

Someday soon some one somewhere is going to decide they’ve had enough of this ****.

I’m looking forward to that day.

Biden is worse than Putin on every issue. Biden is worse than Xi on every issue. Biden is the most immoral, perverted leader since Caligula.

I’ve been asking the same question myself for the last few months now. How much does each illegal cost us? And how does that compare to say the average monthly Social Security payment to pensioners? This could and should be the main issue in the election of 2024, yet no one seems interested in finding the answer.

Biden is worse...

I respectfully disagree. He is just a dart board that is taking all the hits. When his usefulness is over, he’s expendable. There are others pulling strings. Many say Bammy. Except, the usurper is taking orders from a higher power. Mr. Kenya is just the fulcrum directing the coordinated downfall of the once great US of A. RIP

I volunteered during the Afghan war with the Red Cross at Walter Reed. They put me on the Amputation Ward. Ward 52.

My respect for the military went through the roof and is never coming down.

These guys are getting dissed by Dim voters for others from other countries that we “have” to support.

Fd-uped. MAJOR.

Vast amounts of unaccounted for federal funds are laundered through NGOs and used for the benefit of illegal immigrants.

ELCA and the US Catholic Church are in it up to their necks.

Josef Stolen is still responsible.

I agree he is a puppet. But until we remove the puppet, the puppet is who takes the blame.

the state of Arizona just received $53 million to provide logistics for the influx of “refuges”

and yes, Americans are being pushed out of the local shelters to make room for “refuges”
