Migrants bused to NYC hotel going door-to-door asking for help
NY Post, Oct  9, 2022

Migrants bused into New York City have been walking through the streets of a Staten Island neighborhood asking for food, clothes and work after they were put up in hotels there.

The migrants — many not ready for the colder temperatures of the Big Apple — are staying at a property in Travis-Chelsea that includes the Staten Island Inn, Holiday Inn, and Fairfield Inn and Suites Marriott, sources and workers told the Post.

The Staten Island Inn is completely booked with migrants, one worker claimed. The Holiday Inn Express was expecting another drop-off at some point Saturday night.

One migrant, Geraldine Silva, told The Post outside of the Inn that she arrived there about a week ago after she was bussed from El Paso. The Venezuelan native was wearing only a t-shirt, sweatpants and flip flops on a night when temperatures dropped into the 40s.

“We do not have clothing and are not eating well. We need a place to work,” Silva, 31, told The Post.

“We are waiting for clothes,” the mother said, shivering beside a handful of kids and other migrants.

“There is no laundry service here. There is nothing. There is nothing for them to shop, for them to do their laundry. I have no idea how they are going to do it,” he said about the neighborhood, a middle class enclave of Staten Island.

The Marriot is expected to house incoming migrants soon as well, he added.

IIRC, Staten Island is one of the few bastions of conservatism in the state.

"IIRC, Staten Island is one of the few bastions of conservatism in the state"

... and that's exactly why they were sent there, and not to any other boroughs in New York.
