“We are a nation of immigrants.” “These people come willing to do the jobs Americans aren’t.” “They are refugees escaping hostile environments seeking asylum.” These are just some of the talking points you’ve got heard from Democrat politicians when requested concerning the catastrophe that’s the southern border. Not less than, that was earlier than the difficulty got here to their entrance door.
For the reason that Biden administration has been in energy, the quantity of migrants crossing the southern border has increased immensely and continues to rise with no sign of ending.
States like Arizona and Texas need to face this problem the very best they presumably can, given the lack of assistance from Democrats and the federal government. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has taken issues into his personal palms by sending busloads of migrants to cities all throughout the nation.
What do these cities have in frequent? They’re nearly all beneath Democratic rule and self described as “sanctuary cities.” An ideal instance can be New York Metropolis, run by Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul.
The New York Mess
The state of New York has change into one other instance of failed coverage that may, ultimately, impression the lives of its residents in a severely harmful method. In typical political vogue, a problem regarding the lives of Americans, in addition to these crossing the border, has change into nothing greater than a blame recreation.
The NYC Mayor who has acknowledged proudly up to now that NYC would welcome these migrants with open arms, is now singing a different tune. If it wasn’t sufficient that the Mayor of New York Metropolis was boldly stating to ship migrants to their areas of jurisdiction, the Governor saw her opportunity to score political points as properly.
Each Adams and Hochul at the moment are calling for the Biden administration to supply extra federal help for the difficulty. What’s to be anticipated? Will these migrants be despatched again to the place they got here from? No. As a substitute, you may count on to see them displaying as much as your native resort or motel by the busload.
In an investigation I initiated whereas at Project Veritas, it was found that Mayor Eric Adams and his administration have been brokering offers with resort homeowners in upstate New York to accommodate the inflow of migrants displaying up in NYC.
This has led to native New York authorities officers taking legal action to stop the delivery of those migrants into their communities. With the present normal working procedures of US Customs and Border Safety, it’s fairly simple for migrants to make their method into the USA and not using a correct and thorough background test.
Residents of those communities actually have no idea who’s being despatched into their neighborhoods and whether or not or not they’ve a harmful historical past. In line with data from US Customs and Border Protection, there was a drastic improve in criminal activity being dedicated by unlawful aliens since 2021.
The State of the Historic Roosevelt Lodge
What higher place to accommodate the inflow of migrants coming to New York Metropolis than the as soon as nice and historic Roosevelt Lodge. Having opened and thrived within the roaring 20’s, this iconic resort is internet hosting a brand new tier of friends.
The sidewalks and streets main as much as the resort entrances have been cluttered with strollers, migrants and their belongings. A Roosevelt Lodge safety guard mentioned, they “got them (the migrants) inside, so no more media.”
This particular person working safety on the resort went on to say that they’re swamped with migrants and so they have extra coming in on a regular basis. “Whatever you see on there (the internet), it’s real.”
The identical day the safety guard spoke to me, 11/16/23, NYC Emergency Management Commissioner Zachary Iscol spoke to the media in entrance of the resort concerning the present standing of the migrants within the resort.
Not a lot was mentioned concerning the pending cuts to the cities budget that might successfully cut back the cities means to supply providers to the migrants. Sarcastically, town’s finances cuts are occurring partly to the truth that they’ve needed to spend tens of millions of {dollars} on migrant providers already.
Kayla Mamalek, the Deputy Press Secretary to Mayor Eric Adams, has but to answer my request for touch upon how New York Metropolis plans on transferring ahead concerning the migrant problem.
Ardsley Motel Standing
It has been beforehand reported that migrants have been bussed to numerous areas in Westchester and Rockland County. Places in Westchester embody motels in Yonkers, White Plains and Ardsley. The Ardsley Acres Lodge Court docket, situated at 560 Noticed Mill River Pkwy, Ardsley, NY, has been the house of migrants since June 2023.
This dilapidated motel is situated proper off the North-South County Trailway which is heavy with foot visitors within the hotter seasons. Now, greater than 50 migrants are at the moment staying on the motel and there are a minimum of 2 safety guards stationed on the motel. After asking one of many safety guards if they’re seeing extra migrants coming to the motel, they mentioned, “Not here, because they’re full.” In addition they mentioned, “I don’t know how they are keeping track of them all.”
The motel turned one in all their rooms into an workplace the place DocGo staff have arrange their station. DocGo is the corporate NYC has contracted to prepare the housing and providers given to the unlawful immigrants. DocGo, which has fallen under scrutiny for his or her lack of high quality look after the migrants, is dealing with a class action lawsuit by their traders because of the adverse press they’ve been receiving.
Westchester County officers have been touting themselves because the humanitarians whose first precedence is the care these migrants have the correct to obtain, but they haven’t any plan nor infrastructure to again up their advantage indicators. As a substitute, they gather their political factors and kick the can.
Why is that this occurring?
What we’re witnessing is the result of a state caught in one-party management and the controlling events insurance policies fail miserably. Many of those New York State communities have fallen sufferer to the insurance policies of Albany and New York Metropolis.
Now, these failed policymakers try to backtrack their help for open borders and sanctuary cities as soon as the difficulty has come to their entrance door, however as a substitute of being in help of closing the border and sending these probably harmful migrants again to their nations of origin, they as a substitute determine to ship them into communities that don’t help the insurance policies which have introduced the migrants there within the first place.
Trying on the electoral map of the 2020 presidential election, 41 of the 62 counties in NYS voted majority republican. Now, many of those counties are dealing with the results of their overpowered counterparts. New York Metropolis, Albany, Syracuse, Rochester and Buffalo maintain the destiny of each NYS group of their palms. To this point, they’ve failed.
What will be carried out?
It’s as much as each citizen dwelling in communities impacted by the migrant disaster to contact their local representative and ensure they’re listening to from their constituents. Go to your native city corridor conferences and faculty board conferences, take a extra energetic method in your communities, and even run for native workplace. It’s also essential for everybody to know that they themselves have the flexibility to be journalists.
Should you see a problem in your communities and wish to maintain your authorities officers accountable, what’s stopping you from asking questions on it? Bodily go to the placement of the difficulty and simply ask round. Chances are you’ll be shocked by what you discover out. Then take that to your native authorities officers and ask them questions. These folks have to really feel the warmth and strain of the general public in any other case they may assume they will get away with something and by no means need to reply for his or her selections. To take again your nation, it should begin at residence.
