This is NYC, 2024. I visited Randall’s Island’s mega migrant shelter for @nypost—where asylum seekers can only stay 30-60 days. This futile policy has spawned filthy, illegal encampments citywide. @nycgov @NYCMayor are failing these people massively.https://t.co/dg0oMXjcXQ pic.twitter.com/jKgp17a9uu

What is that saying about “for every great civilization, a horde of barbarians waits at the gates”?
I don’t remember the quote.
But the Venezuelans are the barbarians coming to sack the American empire.
It’s probably a good thing, frankly. There was nothing good coming from this empire, it was all just war and porno and gay stuff.
The city is dramatically shrinking the migrant population at its controversial tent city on Randall’s Island while combatting rogue encampments and complaints about safety there.
About 800 residents will be moved from the massive temporary structure on the Manhattan isle, or more than 25% of the 3,000 people it can accommodate, officials said Tuesday.
Converting part of the island into a migrant encampment has been a source of contention with city families that use the park for sports and leisure activities.
Now the ‘sports’ are trying to buy drugs without getting scammed and the ‘leisure activities’ are taking the drugs without getting raped.
It’s fine. It’s basically the same.
The island contains 330 acres of parkland and includes a stadium, 60 athletic fields, a tennis facility and vast green space.
Disputes also have raged for weeks over the rogue migrants who are no longer allowed to live in the mega-shelter because they’ve timed out and who have instead up their own make-shift illegal encampments next to it.
During Mayor Eric Adams’ press briefing Tuesday, he reported that while more than 700 new migrants entered the city system over the past week, more than 1,200 migrants also departed.
“Our goal is to find out how we can downsize to smaller locations,” Adams said while discussing complaints about mega-shelters in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn.
But shrinking the large shelters is a challenge because the migrants have to be relocated elsewhere — easier said than done because of community opposition to the sites.
“You find that in the downsizing, you have to move it to other communities. And just some communities just feel they should not have any shelters at all. That’s just not fair to everyday New Yorkers that do [have shelters],” the mayor said.
Yes, we need to move these shelters to the Hamptons so that the rich can also feel the burn of the unfairness of living around disgusting, filthy brown people.
Everyone must share the burden.
Adams is so right.
