NEW YORK CITY (AP) — Brad Song thought he was about to get his e-bike stolen a second time in a less than a month after delivering an order for Chinese food app Fantuan Delivery.
Asylum-seekers have gravitated to working food delivery in New York and other major cities, drawn by an abundance of customers and ease of getting started. But the job carries hazards, particularly thieves who target food delivery bikes. Newly arrived asylum-seekers have been easy targets. Some work without legal permission, which can make them fearful of seeking help in an emergency.
New York migrant shelters have dozens, even hundreds, of scooters parked outside. The city estimates there are 65,000 food delivery workers — almost certainly an undercount — an unknown percentage of them newly-arrived asylum-seekers. A $1,000 investment for a bike is the main requirement.
Asylum-seekers must apply for a work permit, prompting many to work under the names of people who can legally work. Heisen Mao, a delivery worker and labor organizer, says drivers without work authorization typically pay an account owner between $400 and $500 a month, or about 20% of their revenue.
New York began seeing a large increase in the spring of 2022, fueled partly by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott sending busloads of people at his state’s expense. The city currently estimates it is currently home to about 195,000 newly arrived migrants.

They’ve gone to the sympathy well one too many times.
Newly arrived migrants? Ya mean ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, NYT journalist silly people? We don’t give a shi...er...Obama.
“Asylum-seekers”
PERFECT EXAMPLE of Gaslighting - they are MIGRANTS, as its been shown, over and over, that they are welcome to return home any time they please, and at least in Europe, they fly home both during Summer Break and Christmas, to visit family.
Who orders food knowing an illegal will be delivering it?
How many of the illegal aliens are being robbed by their fellow illegal aliens?
They steal from us. They steal from them.
I don’t understand the food delivery phenomena. I always pick up my own orders.
The New Economy.
There fixed that lying AP headline.
Where did he steal it from ?
According to the AP, it’s Greg Abbott’s fault.
Illegal ALIENS/INVADERS
Well tough merde. If they don’t like it they can get their thieving law breaking parasitic asses back to the third world sh!t hole the NGOs brought them from.
ILLEGAL ALIENS. By definition criminals. The only asylum they’re seeking is asylum from lack of welfare in whatever craphole tyranny they voted themselves into. Venezuela anyone?
How's that sanctuary city stance working out for ya?
They are illegal alien invader criminals. There...accuracy.
Yeah, that’s so very, very sad. The only solution would be to go back from where they came.
Welcome to the war zone illegals!
