There was an old television series called The Invaders where the space aliens took the form of humans. Today's invasion is by human aliens, but we really don't know who they are because of no thorough background checks, if at all. Just let them in.
I live in New Jersey now, but it bordesr Rockland County NY. I am about 45 minutes from New York City,which is a sanctuary city , meaning they are responsible for finding housing for any asylum seeker.
As of May 14, nearly 41,000 migrants were staying at the 150 emergency sites scattered across the Big Apple, according to the latest figures released by City Hall.
More than 65,000 asylum seekers have filtered through the system since last spring. About 4,200 migrants arrived in the Big Apple last week and another 15 buses are slated for this weekend.
With shelter and space in the city dwindling, Mayor Eric Adams has ordered that migrants be sent to hotels in the Hudson Valley, to city school gyms, and is eyeing whatever private office space is available.
He’s even looking at sheltering them in the Rikers Island jail complex as a last resort.
He has been secretly been calling hotels outside the city and offering to pay them fully for 4 months up to a year to basically turn the hotel into a shelter. The City will pay their hotel stay, provide them with 3 meals a day and healthcare and social counselor.
New York Hotels Evicting Homeless Veterans to House Migrants- 5/15
ew York hotels are reportedly evicting homeless veterans to house migrants in their place. The swap would give the hoteliers an additional profit of $100 a night on average, a move that has angered veteran rights activists.
The practice was first reported by the New York Post. The nonprofit veteran organization Yerik Israel Toney (YIT) Foundation told the newspaper that nearly two-dozen U.S. military veterans were evicted last week by hotels in suburban New York City as the facilities seek to replace them with migrants. The veterans involved have already been rehoused.
"Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what's going on with the immigrants," Sharon Toney-Finch, who runs the organization, said. "One of the vets called me on Sunday," she added. "He told me he had to leave because the hotel said the extended stay is not available... Then I got another call."
While it's not clear exactly how much the city is paying hotels in upstate New York for housing migrants, previously reported deals between the authorities and Manhattan hotels have put the payment for housing migrants at $190 a night.
I walk a lot in Orangeburg NY ( located in Rockland County ) Orangeburg is one of many towns that makeup Rockland County. There are towns in Rockland where immigrants are the majority by a large margin. Orangetown is not one of them. Middle class area with population at least 80% white.
Ed Day - Rockland County executive · ++ IMPORTANT UPDATE ++PLEASE SHARE++ Another part of New York City's "strategy" to compromise our community by bussing in 340 adult migrant males has been set aside. Our County Health Department shut down the Armoni Inn yesterday and the handful of guests left were in the process of finding alternative accommodations. This action was in direct response to the Armoni Inn operating without a valid permit that had expired and a failure to open records about the proposed shelter, which is outside the legal scope of a hotel as defined by regulation. As promised, we will continue to take whatever legal action is necessary to stop this "plan" from being foisted upon Rockland.
Michael Miele Great Job, the owners of that Hotel could care less what happened to that area. Whats his name was in the city welcoming them most likely expecting to have them mooching off Rockland tax payers if they got them to stay in the hotel. What I havent heard from anyone on the news unless i missed it is how this hotel backs to the dorms of St. Thomas Aquinas College. theres nothing keeping these Criminals from walking into these dorms or Campus and how the College would have to hire armed guards to protect the students there along with staff. They also didnt mention how they are also walking distance to Dominican College a High School and elementary schools. What should happen in my honest opinion is we make these liars and corrupt democrats and all that continue to support their failures to not just house these criminals but to pay for the time their here.
This is a disgrace and a slap in the face to our Veterans and Seniors that need housing and care they shouldnt have to miss a meal or struggle to pay for medications. Our government lies to their faces along with the rest of us that they dont have the finances to give them what they deserve but when these criminals enter our country or if something happens over seas we have unlimited funds to lay out. We should not be helping any outsiders until we have every Veteran cared for medically and housed properly.
Rockland County hotel barred from housing migrants at least until June in blow to NYC Mayor Adams’ relocation plan
‘Racist' and ‘Antisemitic': NYC Mayor Rails Against Rockland Co. Official Amid Migrant Crisis
Published May 11, 2023
New York City Mayor Eric Adams referred to Rockland County Executive Ed Day as racist and antisemitic Thursday, comparing him to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott amid the ongoing battle over plans to house asylum seekers in the Hudson Valley.
This latest development comes as sheriff's officers were posted outside the Armoni Hotel in the Rockland County town of Orangeburg a day earlier, where a temporary restraining order is in place barring migrants from moving in.
NYC was looking to send a couple hundred migrant men to the northern suburbs at what the mayor's staff would be an emergency-use hotel. But Rockland Officials said that would simply be subterfuge for an illegal city-run shelter.
"This is a renegade operation on the part of the mayor, and I cannot even begin to believe what's going on at this point," Day said Wednesday. "I have never seen such bullying and arrogance in my entire career." However, on Thursday, the mayor had harsher words for Day.
"So when you look at the County Executive Day — this guy has a record of being antisemitic, racist comments. His thoughts and how he responded to this really shows a lack of leadership. I thought he was the Texas governor the way he acted," Adams said.
In response, Day said that Adams "can call me every name in the book to deflect the reality of this former officer’s clear disregard for our laws.
“Between his actions underscoring his belief that he is above local and state law, his disregard for State of Emergencies, and ongoing deception to the State of New York, Rockland County, and most recently Orange County --which was blindsided Thursday morning after being told by Adams they were holding off with their plan -- speaks volumes about the character of Mayor Adams," Day's response went on to say. “I’ll do whatever is necessary to safeguard all the lives involved that this plan will without question endanger."
New York Daily News • May 15, 2023
Mayor Adams’ plan to house hundreds of migrants in a Rockland County hotel is on ice at least until next month due to a string of recent court setbacks.
The Adams administration was initially expected to start sending migrants via bus to the Armoni Inn & Suites in Rockland’s Orangetown last week, with a goal of getting some 340 asylum seekers relocated there within weeks.
Those plans were upended when Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny, a Republican, convinced a Rockland County Supreme Court judge to issue a restraining order last Tuesday barring the hotel from housing any migrants coming up from New York City.
That restraining order was set to expire Monday — but in a ruling over the weekend, Rockland County Supreme Court Justice Christie D’Alessio extended it until at least May 31.
In a separate case brought by Rockland County Executive Ed Day, also a Republican, one of D’Alessio’s colleagues on the bench, Justice Thomas Zugibe, issued another temporary restraining order late last week prohibiting Adams’ administration from sending any migrants to Armoni. Zugibe’s decision will stay in effect at least until May 30, when he ordered lawyers for Day’s office and the Adams administration to appear in court for a hearing.
Extreme actions warrant extreme measures. I warned the NYC Mayor that if you try to run us down you will find me and others in your way and we won't back up. “Any migrant that comes through that door, and they try to put them up – it’s a $2,000 fine,” he said. “This is absurd, and we will not stand for it,” said Ed Day, the Rockland County executive. “There is nothing humanitarian about a sanctuary city sending busloads of people to a county that does not have the infrastructure to care for them. It’s the same as throwing them in the middle of the ocean with nowhere to swim.”
Given the restraining orders, it appears unlikely Adams’ administration would bus any migrants to Armoni until June 1 at the earliest. Adams spokesman Fabien Levy said Monday the administration is not backing off its Rockland effort, but confirmed it will let the court cases play out before sending any buses to Armoni.
In another blow to Adams’ hope of sheltering migrants at Armoni, the Rockland County Department of Health on Saturday ordered the hotel to shut down operations entirely.
“This action was in direct response to the Armoni Inn operating without a valid permit that had expired,” Day wrote in a Facebook post.
Armoni can apply for its hotel permit to be renewed. It was unclear if it had done so Monday, and a lawyer for the hotel did not return a request for comment.
Adams is desperate to send migrants upstate because the city’s shelter and emergency hotel systems are at capacity, housing more than 40,000 asylum seekers, most of them from Latin America. The mayor — whose administration would pay for hotel rooms and services for the asylum seekers — has accused Republican officials upstate of fear-mongering about migrants and argued it should be incumbent on them to help the city.
In addition to the upstate initiative, Adams’ administration has opened emergency migrant shelters in several city public school gyms.
With the Rockland County initiative stalled, the mayor appears to have turned his attention elsewhere.
Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano said over the weekend he had gotten word Adams plans to send about 100 migrant families to his Westchester County city.
Despite being a fellow Democrat, Spano blasted the Adams administration’s “sheer lack of communication and planning” around the migrant transports to his city as “unacceptable.”
“We are being told families will be housed here for at least a year, yet Yonkers is not being provided the resources on how to deal with the additional schooling, public safety, and health services needed to assist these individuals,” Spano said in a statement.
In contrast to the Rockland dilemma, the Adams administration successfully sent nearly 100 migrants to a hotel in the Orange County city of Newburgh last week.
Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus, a Republican, on Friday filed a lawsuit asking a state judge to block Adams from continuing the Newburgh program.
I wrote in that if they force the County to take the illegals,tell them only families not single men. Letting 340 men lose into the community would be disastrous !
You want to be a "sanctuary city," you'd best prepare yourself to face the consequences.
You can't expect someone else to bear the burden of your moral preening.
