New York City’s Floyd Bennett Field has been the subject of controversy as of late with migrants that have been bussed in about a month ago.
After just a month, migrants have taken to going door-to-door to the neighboring homes to ask residents for money, and residents are not happy, according to this from The New York Post.
There’s definitely an invasion of immigrants from Floyd Bennett Field in our neighborhood and I see them sitting outside stores … outside the mall and going around to all the houses in the neighborhood, knocking on the door looking for money.
I certainly sympathize with their situation, but to have people knocking at your door looking for food that don’t speak English, it’s annoying. I don’t like it. We have never had this before, ever.”-Resident, David Fitzgerald
This has become more of a regular occurrence since these illegal immigrants– migrants came to the encampment over the past month….and then abruptly left because, to some, the federal facility was not to their liking.
I am all for charity, 100%. I’ll give you the shirt off my back, the money in my pocket, but not this way. It has got to stop.”-Resident, Paul Sanzone
Mr. Sanzone and his wife were concerned after a few migrants showed up at their door wearing ankle bracelets.
Ten Thousand+ cross the border daily.
Good luck with that America.

Th communities surrounding Floyd Bennett Field are largely middle class. Note the migrant camp is far away from transportation and schools are more desirable metropolitan neighborhoods. This is by design. The rich, sheltered Democrats vote for sanctuary cities. They vote in Democrat governors and city mayors and the middle class, who did not ask for this, suffer.
Some will say the “Trump voters” are the ones complaining. (See above paragraph.) If you ask me, the complaining is justified. This craziness would never have occurred on Trump’s watch.
Despite the taxpayers–“city”-dropping $1.45 billion on food, shelter and medical costs to accommodate migrants at Floyd Bennett Field, none of these accommodations are to the liking of the migrants, who are now on the streets and knocking on doors.
Floyd Bennett Field is what happens when a city like New York uses every last space they could to house migrants-it was a last resort. A last resort that most migrants flat-out refused to go to. They were transported there, took one look, and left. It is fairly remote, far from transportation and schools. It was not in the middle of Manhattan. Why live in a tent encampment when one can be put up in a Manhattan hotel? And, by the way, billions were shelled out for the hotels as well.
It’s interesting to note Mr. Eric Adams’ relationship to the Hotel Association of New York City. Take The Roosevelt Hotel, for example. Where migrants-(ahem) criminals were arrested for domestic-violence, child endangerment, and assault. Sounds like a savory bunch of “poor migrants”, doesn’t it?
Granted, there are some immigrants in the mix who want a better life. But these immigrants are mixed in with the criminals, making an encampment like Floyd Bennett Field a dangerous place for families with children. I see the argument there. What gets me about this situation is the media’s use of the word “migrant” in the ploy to elicit sympathy from Americans. The fact remains that ALL of these people are here illegally and because of a border situation that was not contained by our current administration. Yet, these illegals are complaining about free accommodations to the point of leaving these accommodations because the location is “inconvenient” or they don’t feel “safe” or “the food sucks”. Because of this, they are asking the local residents for hand-outs.
New York is the city where many of our family members (to include my own who came from Italy and fled the Czech Republic) came through on the quest for The American Dream. If we look through our history books that have not yet been scrubbed by white college professors, our grandparents, our great-grandparents came over on a boat, in filthy, sub-par conditions with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They worked simple jobs, they were dirt poor. They relied on one another as a community. They did not get handed free cell phones and told they would get three meals a day. They did not thumb their noses down at whatever accommodations they were given as they processed through Ellis Island. They expected nothing because they knew it was their job to build a better life once they got here. They were thankful for whatever they had and any opportunity this country gave them. They built roads and bridges and buildings and brought their culture with them to create the diverse, melting pot that New York is. They are, truly, what made New York the great city that it is. The people who are now being harassed door-to-door by men in ankle bracelets are their children.
The cretins of the media will call them “white supremacist, bigoted Trump voters who watch too much Fox News”.
New York. This is a place where every day you wake up, you could experience everything from a plane crashing into our Trade Center to a person who’s celebrating a new business that’s open. This is a very, very complicated city, and that’s why it’s the greatest city on the globe.”-Mayor Eric Adams
(Snort) New York. This is a place where you can (still) wake up to a terrorist attack (if you’re Jewish), have your American Dream business shutter its doors because of mass riots and looting and now, have illegals wearing ankle bracelets hustle you for some coin and case your place because they don’t like their accommodations and, yeah, the food sucks.
Give us your tired, your poor. Your huddled masses of your criminals and you’re lazy. Only in New York and only in Biden’s America. Vaffanculo, Democrats.

Well, y’all voted for it, and you’re gonna keep giving Democrats more power no matter how much direct suffering their policies cause you, all while simultaneously looking down on states that can actually recognize the cause/effect sequence of their own voting habits. Forgive me if I’m unable to force a tear on your behalf, New York.
