Some migrants refuse to leave Midtown hotel for shelter in Brooklyn

They told CBS2's Tim McNicholas they have concerns about the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook.

Wow the sense of entitlement of these people is astounding💀💀

[markhayes]

Can I identify as a migrant to get free stuff and then complain about it?

[Woysla]

This is what happens when you welcome these people that feel entitled with open arms. These people are the poorest in their countries and are treated way better than our homeless and vets.

They needed this reality check because they were getting too comfortable. This happens to everybody without a home in America. When I lost my place to a fire a few years ago. They gave me a hotel to stay in for like two months but once time came. They said now we have to move you to a shelter. And there was nothing I could do but agree to it since I didn't have a place of my own anymore.

It's a tough reality but it happens to all the homeless. Doesn't matter if you're a junkie, a working class homeless or an immigrant. Hopefully they use this to stop being so relaxed about their situation and get to work. You're in America now this ain't the land of the free.

What about our homeless people
right here in New York they don't get the chance to live in these hotels!

While our homeless residents, Veterans & families are living on the street or in cars, migrants live in 5 star hotel. Migrants/asylum seekers? are spoiled now, so of course they’re going to refuse to leave the 5 star hotel. It’s human nature for people to not appreciate what they’re given if they don’t have to work for it or do volunteer work in exchange. Migrants expect free housing, cash, medical, phones, clothes, necessities, food(which they complained about). A lot of them say they’re very poor, so why did they take the money we gave them to buy a lot of beer & drugs shown in pictures. They trashed hotel rooms, physical fights, assaults against women & inappropriate things were happening in the hallways & in the stairwells, so if Migrants refuse to leave the hotel, these behaviors should be pointed out to them. Some Migrants say they escaped danger in their country with deplorable or no housing & very little food, no jobs, so why wouldn’t they be incredibly grateful for everything we’re giving them.

They actually have supporters ? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 This is a circus. Send national guard to round them up and ship them back. The sense of entitlement is beyond my comprehension... Wow

[ruthscott]

REALLY WTF some nerve.the way they are acting why would we want them in this country .we have enough trouble

[amicahfelix]

Can you imagine the nerves of these creatures! When there’s homeless Americans all over they wanna choose where they should be wow just wow 😡

[ironzeektheicon]

You got NYCHA residents suffering with rats in their apt and they got the nerve to be complaining we ain’t want y’all here anyway and the nerve of them to be ungrateful

[pennylane]

The politicians are the ones to blame, they’re responsible for this.

[ozark]

If they won't leave, then arrest them for trespassing. It's pretty simple.

[nejaziB]

I bet the conditions aren’t as bad as the countries they are leaving.

[jonsmith]

"They Don't Want to stay in Red Hook". Isn't that something

[ironzeektheicon]

How the hell they have a damn choice they should be thankful

[Wally]

I pay 40% of my income to taxes for this nonsense and can't even get reduced rent or anything sufficient in NYC then the mayor wants to cry about why people are leaving the city. - I wonder why.

[thewatcher]

If they don't like it they can go back home. It's free after all.

[isysslepore]

Blame your government and politicians for this BS 😐

[eddiev]

Who the hell do they think they are?? This really pissed me off lol

[orangecat]
