Migrants are ‘drinking all day,’ ‘having sex in the stairs’ in taxpayer-funded New York hotels: whistleblower pic.twitter.com/9qsmZXivEy— LYNN ANN (@annleelyn1) January 31, 2023
This story has been going on for a while. It’s been on Fox News for weeks.
I’m pretty sure we’ve already covered it multiple times. Not sure why we’re covering it again.
But hey – whatever.
It’s a slow news day.
A once-trendy Manhattan hotel has become a wild “free-for-all” of sex, drugs and violence after the city began housing migrants there, an employee claimed Tuesday.
Row NYC worker Felipe Rodriguez — who told The Post earlier this month that migrants were throwing away “tons” of prepared food at the hotel — said the facility has now descended into “total chaos.
“Chaos, total chaos,” Rodriguez told “Fox & Friends” when asked to describe conditions at the hotel. “There’s no accountability.
“There is no daily supervision to show these people that … ‘You don’t destroy your hotel. You are only there temporarily. This is not your home.
“[The employees] endure a lot of disrespect from the migrants, and there [are] some nice migrants, but there’s too much alcohol, too much drugs and too much violence, and you have teenagers … going into the staircases and making out like it’s Lover’s Lane,” Rodriguez said. “This is a free-for-all.
The hotel, which was converted to house the sudden flood of migrants into the city, is just blocks away from the Watson Hotel in Hell’s Kitchen, where dozens of asylum-seekers have been camped out for several days protesting their removal for new accommodations in Brooklyn.
Rodriguez, who is a runner at Row NYC, said that the hotel workers have been the ones who end up paying the price amid the anarchy. He said he was forced to go on disability after he was injured trying to deliver a refrigerator through a “cluttered” room.
Rodriguez told Fox that the hotel is making more money from the city than it would if it hosted guests.
Row NYC did not immediately respond to the Post’s request for comment.
Over 43,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring, with some 26,000 housed in the city’s hotels, according to Mayor Eric Adams’ office.
At a visit to the southern border earlier this month, Adams said migrants should be warned there’s “no more room” for them in New York as the price tag of of the crisis reached an estimated $2 billion.
” In New York, you go there, you’re going to be living in congregate settings, that there is no more room in New York. That should be coordinated by our national government,” he told reporters.
The 50 or so protesters outside of the Watson Hotel, who are all single men, are understandably upset that they are being upended from their three-star hotel where they were no more than two to a room for hangar-like conditions at the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal in Red Hook.
This immigration thing is absolutely a matter of barbarians inside the gates. It’s a tragedy.
We’ve become so decadent and so domesticated that the only possible solution to our social crisis was to flood ourselves with savages to just rip things up.
What do neocons say about the military when they want to sound edgy? They sound like they’re about to have an orgasm in their pants when they say it.
“Kill people and break things.”
That’s what we needed – death and destruction.
We outsourced.
Asylum seekers are preparing for another night in the cold outside the Watson hotel in Hell’s Kitchen tonight. A handful visited the emergency shelter in Brooklyn the city is offering, but reported back that the conditions there are subpar. pic.twitter.com/w1dfdiWdzl
