According to veteran advocates, New York has found a way to make more room for incoming illegal aliens. About 20 homeless veterans have been removed from where they were staying to make room for incoming illegal aliens. This happened in upstate New York. Luckily, these veterans have been relocated to another hotel. New York City’s mayor made good on his intention to send incoming New York City bound illegal aliens to other locations in New York.<\/p>\n

From the New York Post:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

“A lot of them are Vietnam veterans. We do help them on a constant basis to get them benefits and help them find a place in society.”<\/p>\n

State Assemblyman Brian Maher, a Republican who helps rep Orange County, said, “Shining a light on this is important because we need to make sure these hotels know how important it is to respect the service of our veterans before they kick [them] out of hotels to make room.”<\/p>\n

“They really ought to think about the impact on these people already going through a traumatic time,” he told The Post.<\/p>\n

“Whether you agree with asylum-seekers being here or not, we can’t just ignore these veterans that are in our charge that we are supposed to protect: the New Yorkers and Americans.”<\/p>\n

“We need to put them first.”<\/p>\n

Toney-Finch said she believes it all comes down to money.<\/p>\n

“They want to get paid” more, she said of the hotels, referring to what her group shells out to get the vets housing compared to what the city is paying for each migrant.<\/p>\n

“That’s so unfair, because at the end of the day, we are a small nonprofit, and we do pay $88 a day for a veteran to be there,” she said.<\/p>\n

While it’s unclear what the city is paying upstate, various reported deals between the Big Apple and Manhattan hotels have called for payments such as $190 a night — part of an estimated $4.3 billion migrant price tag for taxpayers through spring 2024.<\/p>\n

Adams began bussing migrants flooding the city to The Crossroads on Thursday — hours before a key federal immigration-rule change was set to take effect and feared to increase the influx even more.<\/p>\n

Hizzoner’s move spurred a vicious war of words between Adams and officials in Orange and neighboring Rockland County, where the mayor also has threatened to bus migrants — till a lawsuit at least temporarily blocked the move.<\/p>\n

Maher said it’s outrageous that veterans are getting caught in the crossfire of the migrant crisis.<\/p>\n

“For these people only being there a few weeks, then to be told after having a level of trust developed, ‘Hey, you have to get out,’ That’s not right,” he said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
