East Harlem tenants say asylum seekers dig through trash, then leave mess behind

Every day for months, people who live in NYCHA's East River Houses say trucks park outside to collect recyclables, but the collectors leave bags of bottles and cans piled on the sidewalk. CBS New York's Lisa Rozner reports.

Welcome to Mayor Adams's NYC-2024.

[Slashed]

The fastest way to change people’s minds is to give them exactly what they voted for!

[takecarebpk]

NYC is going to end up like cali in 2 years, homeless everywhere then the tents going up

[rtreed]

Shocker. That’s how they live. There was a reason they were forced out of their countries.

[nedsackmann]

Stop saying asylum seekers, they are illegal immigrants

[georges]

I'm a super in NYC and can confirm it happens regularly, even on fifth ave.

1:29 "If we're going to provide homes to these people, we need to actually house them."

Huh?? Who ever said we would or should be providing homes? That young man is living in fantasy land.

[bilqis]

A disgrace. And the govt shouldn’t be providing non-citizens with free anything, especially not free housing, particularly since there are amcits in nyc who can’t find or afford housing in the city.

I think it's interesting that one person says we need to house asylum seekers, and we don't house Americans 🤔.

[ayebing]

The real question: who’s paying them to collect the cans 24/7 and who owns the trucks. It’s the same as every other problem that has become noticeably worse in the past 4-5 years…there’s ALWAYS some larger entities funding these things. It’s all by design and it’s all on purpose.

[klindquist]

They are here illegally and are trespassing

[JoeBuck]

The people complaining are going to vote for Adams again for Mayor.

[rkm]

Thank Biden and the Democrats, I thought they were here to fill those jobs that Americans wouldn't take.

[bradleybruvva]

We don’t need to house them, we need to house Americans first.

[roseoliver]

When are they going to CLOSE THE BORDER?? SMHHH

[humanOilslick]

That’s why I don’t recycle and mix all my garbage 😂

[Mr]

I got Dominicans blasting super loud music and selling drugs 24/7 here in Bronx Yankee Stadium area 157street Gerard Ave , No police enforcement at all this is how our Democratic politicians treat us, Make Sure You Vote Them Back

[brucebeamon]

Just 😡 that this is happening by people that LEGALLY DON’T BELONG HERE but the POLITICIANS ARE GIVING THEM A PASS TO DO AS THEY PLEASE

[skipfluck]

Thank you president Biden for this insanity

[streetlegalsprintcar]

I do appreciate the increased recycling. ❤
