Here’s the tough thing about ‘the border’: There’s no painted line between the US and Mexico, meaning that migrants often cross into the US, entitling them to seek asylum, before reaching any sort of border patrol structure. New York’s fancy hotels, and Texas ranch property, should be equally closed to illegal migrants.

Random private property is not free for the taking for citizens, as I learned at the Waldorf. There are 50 ports across the United States-Mexico border that migrants can enter lawfully or seek asylum. Just look at the shocking video showing illegal migrants waiting to enter private property in Texas, and border agents unlocking the gate and ushering them in - just after Texas National Guard officers had locked it.Ĭan we get an armed IRS agent down there? So far in 2022, more than two million have crossed American borders.Īnd while President Joe Biden just funded 87,000 armed IRS agents to enforce the law against the taxpaying citizen schlubs, our border agents are outwardly limp in interacting with illegal migrants. On Thursday, New York City’s Department of Social Services requested an extra 5,000 hotel rooms to accommodate New York’s newest guestsĮvery single day, more than 6,000 migrants cross the border illegally - sometimes thousands more. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass,) and former Mayor Bill de Blasio have been begging to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and every single New York City mayoral candidate doubled down on maintaining the Big Apple’s status as a sanctuary city, arguing the city had to ‘live up to its values’ and ’invest’ in illegal aliens.Įven so-called moderate candidate Andrew Yang said he supported everyone who comes to this country or to New York seeking a better life.Īnd yet when migrants started arriving in New York, Mayor Eric Adams called it ‘horrific.’ Sometimes as much as $1,200, I was told in the White House.įor years liberal elites like Sens. This housing, called ‘tent cities’ during the Trump administration but ’pop-up facilities’ during the Biden administration, consists of massive air-conditioned tents for living, school, eating and play-time and security around the entire thing. The migrants with bags in tow step off the bus and head to either a hotel, funded by taxpayers, or onto the next stage of their journey within the United States When I was in the Trump Administration, the price for one minor for one night was $775 in temporary influx housing. The cost to the city is likely a bargain. That’s on top of the 1,000 rooms the city announced they’d be renting last week at places like The Row, a four-star Times Square resort. On Thursday, New York City’s Department of Social Services requested an extra 5,000 hotel rooms to accommodate New York’s newest guests. That’s not the tale for the busload of migrants who are being shipped into the city from Texas and Arizona - after first illegally entering the country - and being housed, on the taxpayers’ dime, at fancy New York City hotels. The cab driver, however, dropped me off at the Waldorf, where it was swiftly made known that I, in my Gap dress and department store boots, was certainly not a guest there. Then I asked a cab to take me to my hotel near the Waldorf Astoria. When I did make my grand arrival, it was on a Chinatown bus. Growing up in small-town Western Kansas, I couldn’t afford to travel to New York until I was 21.
