They need more room at the inn.

New York City’s use of hotels as emergency shelters to house migrants will continue for the foreseeable future, The Post has learned, as the Department of Homeless Services is seeking a contract with hotels to provide a total of 14,000 rooms to shelter migrants at least through next year.

The city projects that spending on housing for migrants over the past two years and this fiscal year combined will surpass a staggering $2.3 billion — much of it on rent paid to hotels in the Big Apple.

They can stay in the hotels right now. It will be easier for ICE to round them up to send them back to their origin when Trump is elected.

Mark Simone,a great NYC talk show host (and huge Trump supporter),says that hotel rates for tourists in the city have skyrocketed because the supply of available rooms is so low.

When their guests have left...whenever that might be...they’re gonna have to spend most of what they were paid repairing their properties. Put Third World savages in the Waldorf for a couple of years and see what happens.

Ten bucks says that immigration lawyers are secretly rooting for DJT. Just think of all the work they'll have when he starts trying to deport those savages. Rolls Royce dealers in Darien,CT and Alpine,NJ are gonna be selling a lot of cars as well.

2.3 BILLION. Sending them back with a boot in the ass would cost much less.

Think of the money they could save if they didn’t pay for anything for illegals, which is the way it should be.

But the Waldorf is a national treasure. I’m sure folks won’t mind paying for its renovation.

Absolutely not. This is our money. They are giving our money and resources to non-citizens. We can not put up with this. We need to start calling our representatives everyday.

What I’ve always found amazing about New York and NYC specifically is the cost of government, the City of New York has about 8-9 million people with a FY 2024 budget of approximately 112 billion dollars.

The State of Florida has approximately 23-24 million people and the budget for the entire state is 116 billion dollars with a projected surplus of over 2 billion dollars.

The budgets for the two places is approximately the same despite the State of Florida having nearly 3 times as many people.

At my Republican Town Committee meeting the other night, someone there said he works at a hotel, and in a 20 mile radius from where he works, it is nearly impossible to get a hotel room.

They all have illegals in them. At his hotel, when you drive up, they are all sitting on a big grass bank next to the building. And we know who is paying for that.

We are.

Besides the costs think of all the crimes that were committed by not only illegally entering the country but also by aiding and abetting "improper entry" into the country.

Is It a Crime to Enter the U.S. Illegally?
