Ungrateful Illegals?

You would think that if you are an illegal alien coming to this country, it’s for a very good reason, right? Maybe you are being persecuted for your religious beliefs in your home country. It could be that you are a political outcast and the power brokers back home are gunning for your demise. Maybe it’s financial. Maybe you just don’t have enough money to put food on the table for your family, or clothes on their back, or keep a roof over their head. Maybe the conditions you live in are so poor that trekking across three or four countries to a place you’ve only heard is dripping with honey and the streets are paved with gold, where the government takes care of everyone is a dream you want to live.

Or maybe, you’re just faking it, and you’re being found out about it once you get here.

That seems to be the case with a lot of the illegals that are in New York City. They are being put up in a $300 a night hotel in the Big Apple. But alas, there are so many illegals being bussed into New York at this time, over 12,000 of them. And New York, being a “sanctuary city” has an obligation to house and feed all of those illegals. That puts Mayor Eric Adams in a quandary. He needs to put them up somewhere. So, he’s resorted to putting them up in old hotels, that aren’t anywhere near full. Ah, but there’s a problem.

Adams knows that most of the people being put up in the Watson Hotel are single men. And there are families that are being bussed to New York after crossing illegally into our country in Texas, and Arizona. So, he’s built a shelter for them in Brooklyn. It’s an old cruise terminal, not meant to necessarily house illegals, but meant to check in guests ready to enjoy a week long cruise to the Bahamas, or Bermuda.

And that’s where the trouble started.

The illegals that were in The Watson, decided they would protest. After all, isn’t that what America is all about? They moved outside to the sidewalk and slept in the street in near freezing temperatures as opposed to getting bussed to Brooklyn and have to sleep in a huge room with cots. And the food, they say, is terrible there.

Let me just say this. Yes, these people have endured a lot of hardships to get to this country. I get that. But they came uninvited. they broke the law to get here, so they are illegal, let’s not forget that. And they are being treated to a hotel room in midtown Manhattan that you and I couldn’t afford for more than a week or so. They get free cell phones, free food, free lodging, and free clothes if they are needed. They came across the Rio Grande wearing designer jeans, logoed tee shirts, and jackets. I’m sure there are some of these people that are destitute, that are escaping some terrible conditions at home, but if that were the case, they’d be HAPPY to be living in a shelter temporarily, while more permanent means could be found.

Let’s examine something. Let’s go back a little more than 100 years to when Europeans came to our shores and landed at Ellis Island. They weren’t given the same treatment that these illegals are being given. They realized that they would be starting with nothing, but in their minds it was better than what they had back home. Apparently that isn’t the case with these folks today. So, I have to ask the question, was their coming here a scam? Are they truly in need, or are they just out to see what they can get out of a very liberal and happy to give away the store government that we have? My hunch goes more to the scam, especially with the people that don’t want to move out of a luxury hotel.

It’s time to call a spade a spade here and tell these people that if they don’t like the Brooklyn cruise terminal, we’ll be happy to arrange transportation for them back to their home country. And do it quickly…like today.

Carry on world…you’re dismissed!
