It’s a shame that the Americans in nyc can’t get the help for housing but the immigrants are getting access for help and the people who live here are being denied. I didn’t vote

This is absolutely Americas worst nightmare

[AM-fikv]

I don't understand why they keep referring to these migrants as "asylum seekers" when they themselves continuously say they came to the U.S. for work and to seek a better life. Which is definitely not a reason to claim asylum.

There's still plenty of free rooms at the Mayors house and all of his trusty officials, so try that! Nothing like a nice hot home cooked meal and a hot shower.

This is what the voters voted for! These politicians was champions for being sanctuary city promoting and now everybody’s crying. You invited these people in with free housing, food education I would come too! Keep making those free pizzas!!!!

Sammy dont know ? Those migrants want tacos, beans and rice, They will throw the pizza away and buy hot plates to cook in there expensive hotel room. He should see how much food was wasted on these ungrateful people.
