Savannah Harp, 24, was forced to change her 18-month-old son Emir’s diaper on a bench outside the Ramada Inn in Westchester County on Monday morning after being told that the hotel where she has been paying $150 a night for the past two weeks is now suddenly booked up.
Harp, who rebooked each morning to stay at the hotel on Tuckahoe Road with her baby and boyfriend, said she believes they were denied a room Monday after it emerged that up to 100 migrant families could start arriving there.
“[The migrants’ are not having to pay out of their own pocket, and I’m having to pay out of my own pocket — and then I have to leave whenever [hotel workers] say,” Harp said.

A distraught Edwin Domingeuz Ramos, 57, was scrambling to find alternative accommodations for him and his girlfriend Monday after they, too, were told by the Ramada that there were no more available rooms.
“I’ve been here for a month, and now they’re kicking us out, and we don’t even got an apartment.” Ramos said.
He said he was given a week to clear out of the hotel after staff informed him “the city is taking over” to house the migrant families — a move he said made his “blood boil.
“I spent over $3,000 already staying here because I can’t find an apartment, and now they just told me that in a week, I got to go,” Ramos said.
“I was born here” he said, referring to the US. “Don’t take from people that were born here in this country to give to other people in other countries. I don’t see no sense about that.”

She’s not alone. Homeless veterans are also being booted out as as to make room for the invaders.
Forced? No, nobody forced her to do anything.
She could have chosen not to have extramarital sex when she couldn’t support a baby. Nobody forced her to do that. She could have also chosen to give the baby up for adoption if she couldn’t care for it. Nobody forced her to keep it. She could have also chosen to try to find a responsible man to marry and be a father to the child, instead of sticking with her deadbeat “boyfriend”. Nobody forced her to do that either. She chose to end up on that bench, every step of the way.
Does he really think that New Yorkers actually give a crap about that?
Dude needs to check his priveledge.
Who did you vote for, Savannah?

( I didn’t want to assume its gender based solely upon a news article.)
Privileged working people have so much more than they need.
It’s time for them to invite the homeless and immigrants into their homes.
A dozen deserving migrant/homeless families could easily live there.
They can have a room of their homes for themselves... for the time being.
tough. she’s homeless, and having babies with Emir’s daddy?
Get on reliable birth control until you can support yourself and your crotch goblins. Not sorry.
Wow, you're so compassionate and tell me, what's it like to be perfect?
Not only those things…but where is her family? I know my grandkids would ALWAYS have a roof over their heads because I have a roof.
I have a roof because my mother in law moved in with us after her husband died. She sold her house, and paid off mine. The house she sold…was inherited from her Dad.
This is how families are supposed to work.
It’s not always fun. But it’s called taking care of each other.
Completely broken society.
The hospital dumping patients by using cheaper hotels as hospital rooms shocked me. The nurses have laptops that network with the hospital patient database.
This is what they voted for! These folks should’ve thought of that beforehand!
According to my calculator, that's $54,750 a year.
I doubt that the majority of New Yorkers spend that much each year on their houses, never mind on a room.
“Wow, you’re so compassionate...”
Compassion doesn’t demand that we accept the lies people tell themselves.
She could have, huh? You were there? Every step she took, you were there? You know every aspect of her life, every torment, every joy, every choice? You could foresee every evil act someone imposed on her as well as her own and could have dodged those bullets? Because you know what it’s like being a woman, giving birth, loving and having been betrayed or abused? How about those Vets that were booted out? You were there too when they made their choices?
“She could have, huh? You were there?”
Don’t need to be, since everyone has these choices available to them.
That is not what the issue is, it’s housing, not her morality or your perceived lack of her having it.
“That is not what the issue is...”
Who decided what the issue is?
Then your out of touch with rental prices in NYC
I can’t help you if you can’t figure it out.
