It's Amazing How They Make Everything Convenient For Them But Not For The People Of NY Its Mind Blowing

[vman]

Asylum seekers? What about all of the poor, homeless and hungry people right here in America?

[leepatterson]

This won’t stop until this country is worse than the one they came from…won’t that make the world a better place

[anthonykerrijohnson]

We are not a nation of unlimited resources

[gloriaadames]

STOP calling these ppl asylum seekers-

[factualbreakdown]

It's obvious that they all need to go back to their own homelands, but until the Greyhound buses pull up and the Police "escort" them aboard, I don't want to see anyone sleeping on a sidewalk.

Having said THAT, the PRIORITY for these newly constructed shelters MUST be AMERICANS on the street, especially VETERANS, the ELDERLY, CHILDREN and DISABLED!

Taxes in NY state and NYC will be raised to pay for this mess. More residents will flee to Florida, Texas, and Tennessee.

[anthonykerrijohnson]

What about the homeless? Oh I forgot they don’t count

[richardmann]

The resources being wasted here could better be used to help real Americans. 🇺🇸

[oscararias_perez]

New York taxpayers are paying it
While you’re struggling end needs

[Bonnie-hkev]

We need a return to President Trump's Secure borders, Energy independence, Low fuel prices, Good jobs, No Wars.

[jasonharrison]

Don't forget to vote out mayor Adams if truly believe that hes not doing a good job

[LegalLatinoHeat]

Cafeteria? They have better food than schools.

[LegalLatinoHeat]

Why not on Rikers island? Or better yet send them back.

[Random_Woman]

So, these people cannot be vetted as far as crimes they have committed in their countries and then all Americans are supposed to just accept them being siphoned in to our workplaces and communities? They get a pass for their former crimes?

[Joseph-jhq]

Show us a video of the facilities one week after the illegal aliens show up! 😂

[mariahenrich]

Parent's are already saying they will not send their children to schools that are in close proximity to any structure housing them. City better be listening. Attendance is already down.

[MalchikGuy]

Steady gasslighting that asylum seekerBS lol
Does cBS work for the Venezuelo prison system sending them here?

[robertlavorna]

what an administration....dont we all feel so safe and lucky to have such a warm hearted, kind, honest, leader as biden and his entire staff looking out for the best for all of

[coffeecup]

This looks great. It will hold 3000 people and we are now processing 500 people a day. We need to put our heads together and open our heart to Double the City Income Tax so we can continue to open one housing 3000 people a week. All NYC Residents should be proud of the free things we are giving away and will continue to give away to these wonderful people. Mayor Adams should be Appointed Mayor For Life.
