Protesters attempt to stop removal of hundreds of migrants from public-funded housing
Story by Peter Pinedo • 2h


New Yorkers protest removal of 400 migrants from state-funded hotels
Activists and several elected officials gathered outside New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office in the Capitol in Albany on Monday to protest the closure of two hotels housing several hundred migrants in the state's capital region.

New York City has a "right to shelter" law, requiring the city to provide shelter for anyone who asks for it and has no other options.
 
Protest organizers said they were advocating for Hochul to intervene to prevent the migrants’ eviction and to provide new state funding to shelter the migrants.

Speaking during the protest, Angelica Perez-Delgado, president of the pro-migrant nonprofit Ibero-American Action League, said, "Our need right now is to ensure that people in our hotels are not evicted. We need leadership and money from Gov. Hochul right now to fund at least six months of housing and related services."
 

The migrants in Albany have been staying at a Ramada Plaza and Holiday Inn Express, both of which are being paid for by the New York City government and are set to close this month.

Who paid for that little demonstration?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Democrats don't learn from the past.  In many ways, they're still fighting the Civil War.  Instead of denying Constitutional citizenship as they did with blacks, this time they're fighting to give them to people who don't deserve them.

How many of those "protesters" were Dems, illegal immigrant advocates, or employees of illegal immigrant NGO's?

If those protesters really want the illegals to stay, they'd accept legal and financial liability for them.  There's nothing stopping the protesters from paying the hotel bills.

I'm tired of other people being generous with my money and my time.
