Enriching your culture.
Migrants camping outside the increasingly lawless Randall’s Island tent city were spotted selling everything from burgers to blunts on Monday — as Mayor Eric Adams said the city would be reviewing shelter security following a fatal weekend stabbing.
The group of asylum-seekers who set up camp outside the island’s 2,000-bed site after being booted for timing out on the city residency limit appeared locked in a cat-and-mouse game with Parks Department officials — who tore down the encampment Sunday only to have it rise up again.
“The problem is that you keep coming back,” a frustrated parks worker told the group of more than a dozen migrants in Spanish Monday morning.
“You’re not putting a foot forward to get out of this situation. You keep coming back to the same place where you’re not helping yourself,” he said.
“Yes, you work for your family, to send money to your family. But you come back here doing things you’re not supposed to be doing. This is a public park.”
But the plea fell on deaf ears — and not long after, the rogue group set up folding tables against police barrier gates and used small propane burners to cook burgers, which they began selling to fellow migrants, along with coffee, hot chocolate, loose cigarettes and rolled marijuana joints.
The open-air peddling was the latest example of out-of-control conditions at the tent city, where a 24-year-old man was chased by a group inside a dining area and knifed to death Saturday.
The accused Randall’s Island killer, Moises Coronado, 27, was arraigned on murder and gang assault charges in Manhattan Criminal Court on Sunday night and ordered held without bail until his next hearing Friday.
Coronado and at least two others allegedly chased victim Dafren Canizalez inside the cafeteria tent at around 7:30 p.m. Saturday, cornered him against a door and stabbed him in the chest, according to the criminal complaint against him.
The two got into a beef after Coronado said something to Canizalez’s girlfriend, according to prosecutors and sources.
They don’t even say “enriching your culture” anymore, I don’t think.
They just say you deserve this as punishment for being white.
Thousands of migrants, nearly all males, continue to flow through Eagle Pass, Texas every day.
