The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants.

The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.

Prior to this sweetheart deal, the hotel had been closed since 2020, having long-struggled with occupancy and

The same Pakistan that harbored Osama Bin Laden until he was discovered

...

Mass Immigration is Money Laundering.

...

The US is the largest contributor to the IMF ($117b).

Pakistan owns Roosevelt Hotel.

IMF gives Pakistan Money.

New York pays Pakistan government to house illegals in New York at the hotel.

...

we bailed out the Pakistan and also pay for illegals to stay there.

...

This is beyond outrageous. New York City is paying $220 million to house illegal migrants in a hotel owned by Pakistan, all part of an IMF bailout deal. Meanwhile, American taxpayers are footing the bill for a foreign government’s debt crisis. How is this even possible?

...

Always National Guard outside not allowing anyone to pass the front entrance. Essentially the illegals have private security

...

The irony is that the entrance to the Roosevelt Hotel is more secure than any portion along the entirety of the entire US Southern Border.

I’m pretty sure this ISN’T how illegal immigration and phonyassylum are supposed to work. Nowhere does it say the U.S. taxpayers will be required to provide total support of every kind including financial to foreign freeloaders and their extended families.

So why are we doing Pakistan favors? Especially since they’ve harbored Osama bin Laden.

The nation bailed out NYC in 1975. I don’t want to do it again.

“Illegal immigrants” is as big an oxymoron as a sorority house of pregnant virgins.
These are foreign nationals here illegally, taxpayers are supporting them. Send them back.

Makes you wonder ?
How many Democrat politicians are getting a Taste ?
We know the Big Guy always gets at least 10%

This should enrage honest hard working tax paying registered Democrats !
Another Great reason for registered Democrats to change their party affiliation !
Are you listening RNC ?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roosevelt_Hotel_(Manhattan)#Notable_guests_and_events

In March 1979, Milstein leased the Roosevelt to Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) through the latter’s investment arm PIA Investments Ltd.[188][189] PIA partnered with Prince Faisal bin Khalid bin Abdulaziz Al Saud in the transaction.[43] The lease cost an estimated $35 million and was to run for 20 years.[188][190] Prince Faisal and PIA were to pay $2.7 million to $4 million annually in rent, and they also obtained an option to acquire the hotel after 20 years at a set price of $36.5 million.[43] The hotel’s Colonial Room was destroyed during a fire in July 1980.[191][192] Turner Construction renovated the hotel’s interior in the late 1980s.[193] Soon afterward, during the early 1990s recession in the United States, the Roosevelt began advertising to large associations and group conventions, which paid more than weekend visitors and tourists did.[194] In addition, a mosque was founded within the Roosevelt’s basement in the 1990s; The New York Times reported in 1998 that the mosque attracted hundreds of congregants each week.[195]

Maybe a Trump administration can cancel the deal made with the IMF.

These “migrants” are in the United States ILLEGALLY. To house them and otherwise encourage them to remain in the USA is ILLEGAL, and anyone doing so is committing a CRIME and should face penalties.
