Upstate N.Y. Motel Kicks Out Guests to Make Room for Migrants Bused from NYC
National Review ^ | July 20, 2023 | BRITTANY BERNSTEIN

Guests at a Super 8 motel in upstate New York were kicked out without notice this week to make room for migrants being bused in from New York City, according to local reports.

Rotterdam town supervisor Mollie Collins told the Albany Times-Union that a Schenectady County official told her the migrants were transported from Texas to New York City before they were sent via bus to the motel in Rotterdam after the city signed a contract with the Super 8.

She said it was not immediately clear whether the motel stay was temporary or how long the migrants had been in the U.S. Their immigration status was also unclear.

“You have to remember this is a humanitarian effort,” she said later. “It’s human beings and you can’t lose sight of that.”

Schenectady County’s county manager Rory Fluman said the county was not expecting to receive migrants from the city and that most of the hotels in the county are already at capacity.

“We’re being told they are all asylum-seekers,” Fluman said Wednesday. The report indicated migrants self-identified as being from Peru, Venezuela and Colombia.

Guests were told they had to leave on Tuesday morning. New York City mayor Eric Adams’s office told the outlet that displaced guests were offered free “extended stay” lodging at another hotel nearby.

“Guests at that hotel were all offered to be relocated and booked for an extended stay at a comparable hotel in the same area free of charge,” Adams’s office said in a statement.

Fluman said he expects the migrants will ultimately seek help from the county’s social services system after the city’s help runs out. The city has offered to pay for migrant housing for anywhere from a month to a year.

That hotel will eventually have to be bulldozed. There is no way it will ever be fit to be habitable by humans after those migrants are done with it.

Seems like that will affect the tourist business. I’d think twice about renting a hotel room there knowing who else might be staying there.

And just to think there’s 20,000 illegal invaders making their track to our border right now with the help of the Mexican army! Ain’t that wonderful.

This amounts to theft. Theft of government services, theft of taxpayer funds. Theft is criminal, there needs to be prosecutions.

Just like “Public” housing. The unthankful parasites move in and destroy the place within a few months.

And...WE pay for it.

Is this a great country or what? That is, what’s left of it.

Some of those kicked out are working poor American citizens.

“You have to remember this is a humanitarian effort,”

Riigghhtt! In my best Fat Albert voice.
Evidently, poor impoverished wetbacks pay better than middleclass Americans.
And accepting the wetbacks not only gave this Super 8 a guaranteed income, it also prevented a visit from the Stasi.

Universities such as Haavard, Yale and Princeton have empty dorms and campus housing that are empty and could accomodate thousands of illegals.

It’s very very important to the democrats in charge to bring in as many non-Americans as possible in a short a time as possible and to make them confortable so they can be given a driver’s license (and virtual citizenship) so they can concentrate on doing what the dems want them to do: vote democrat and become another dependent victim group so they can blame their failures on Whitey.

Are they making more $$ off the city paying for the illegal migrants? Becoming a nation of morons and chumps.

It would be a shame if the toilet got plugged and flooded on their way out.

No such thing as ‘migrants’ - they’re illegal aliens.

And the people they kicked out of their hotel rooms aren't human beiongs? Seems like you lost sight of that.

This is what I was thinking. Why would you purposely gut your business??? Makes you want to know where they’ve stayed before you book a reservation.
