Bless Staten Island’s heart. They did not come to play kiddie games. The residents of Staten Island are blasting a loud message to the illegal immigrants housed at the formerly vacant St. Johns Villa school. This loud message is “get out” and “you are not wanted here”. Staten Island is not New York City and the people who live there don’t like to be disrespected. Hale no!

Staten Island may share Mayor Eric Adams with New York City, but that is absolutely where the similarities end. NYC people may front “wealth” and “class”. The most Jewish of residents will give off a WASP (White, Anglo-Saxon, Protestant) vibe. Staten Island will shout their working class, immigrant roots. Proudly working class. Proudly immigrants. But, not illegal immigrants taking handouts. Lord-a-mercy. Staten Islanders are fierce. That’s why we should not be at all surprised that the fine folks of Staten Island have been protesting since NYC started housing illegal immigrants in the formerly vacant St. John Villa Academy. By the way, did I mention that there is a girl’s school right close to the illegal immigrant shelter?

The folks of Staten Island have been peacefully protesting the illegal immigrant shelter for the last couple weeks. Now, they are done playing nice. They are instituting psychological warfare. A loud message blasted over a professional microphone. I like how these people think. From the New York Post:

Migrants at a Staten Island shelter are being bombarded by a blaring 24/7 recording urging them to leave, claiming the site is rat- and mold-infested and that they “are being lied to by Mayor Eric Adams.”
The audio recording was being blasted from a professional speaker in five languages — English, Spanish, Ukrainian, Chinese and Urdu — at an ear-splitting level of 117 decibels Monday afternoon from the property of homeowner Scott Herkert next to the controversial former St. John Villa Academy-turned-migrant shelter.
A migrant who arrived outside the shelter with her luggage Sunday, when the warning first started playing, pulled out her phone to record it and then called an Uber and fled, residents said.
More than a dozen asylum seekers were seen leaving the site — the scene of previous large protests attended by hundreds of residents — as the audio blared Sunday and Monday.

Is the United States one giant AirBnB for foreign visitors? An illegal immigrant rolls up to the shelter on Sunday, records the loud message, takes her luggage and flees in an Uber. Call the flipping Concierge! Doesn’t that just frost you? Here’s more:

“In my view, the use of legal psychological warfare is fair game,” said Newsmax personality and former Independent city comptroller candidate John Tabacco, who conceived the ploy, to The Post outside the shelter Monday.

The recording shouts at the shelter, “You are being lied to by Mayor Eric Adams.

“This shelter has 300 cots in one room. You will have no privacy, you will have no showers; you had a hotel room with privacy and a bathroom in NYC,” it says — giving the false impression that the shelter is outside of New York City.
“Do not get off the bus, tell them you want to go back to the hotel; this shelter has rats and cockroaches, this building has mold and is unsafe for you,” the recording says.

I have to laugh. “Giving the false impression that the shelter is outside of New York City”. Well, technically it is not. It is about an hour commute to Midtown on the Staten Island Ferry. That’s a pretty far distance. I would rather stay at the Roosevelt in Midtown too.

“You are being lied to, this building is not safe for humans. The community wants you to go back to New York City; immigrants are not safe here,” the recording continues, again falsely insinuating Staten Island is not a city borough.
The site had recently been plagued by sewage overflows, but concerns of mold and vermin have not been reported. The former school is equipped with outdoor showers for the temporary residents.

Again, “falsely insinuating” is a hoot. Boroughs and cities mean very little to people outside of New York. And, frankly, we are on the side of the Staten Islanders. There is much in this video that is absolutely true:

The folks on Staten Island have much in common with the folks from Knoxville, Tennessee and Sherman, Texas. We are the first to hold up our hands and give and volunteer. NYC Mayor Eric Adams needs the borough folks to behave themselves so he can say there are no troubling incidences here. Staten Island has a ton of immigrants. Legal immigrants.

This is all Joe Biden’s fault. No vetting and letting sick illegals in. I have theories as to why. How about you? Blast that message loud.
