JOE BIDEN = ILLEGALS FIRST!
NYC Employs 14 Hotels to House Migrants Bused from Texas Border
New York City officials expanded their hotel housing operation for migrants bused from the Texas border with Mexico by Governor Greg Abbott. The city now contracts with 14 hotels and more migrants arrive daily.
New York City Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Manuel Castro revealed that the city is now contracting with 14 hotels to house migrants bused to the Big Apple from the Texas border region. Texas Governor Abbott ordered the busing of migrants to sanctuary cities like New York and Washington, D.C. after changes in Biden administration border security and immigration policies created a massive surge of migrants — approximately 67 percent of whom cross from Mexico into Texas-based Border Patrol sectors.
More than 118,000 migrants crossed into Texas in July alone, Breitbart Texas reported. Only 1,500 or so have been bused to New York City, Governor Abbott tweeted.
Following Abbott’s order to bus migrants to New York City, city officials complained about more than 6,000 migrants seeking shelter in the Big Apple, according to the New York Post.
New York city and state officials admitted to asking for help from officials in other states to help house the migrants who were mostly sent to the city through federal government transportation.
“Unlike Gov. Abbott, our mayor and our governor are showing true leadership by actively coordinating with the White House and federal government and governors across the country and mayors across the country to see how we can work together to address the need to resettle asylum-seekers,” Castro stated.
The city complains their homeless shelters are over capacity prompting the action of spending upward of $300 million to house migrants, the Post revealed.
The city backed away from its plans to house 600 migrant families in the Row NYC luxury hotel near Times Square. Instead, it is locking up approximately 5,000 hotel rooms.
“He’s (Gov. Abbott) weaponizing asylum seekers,” Castro said in the Fox News report. “It is shameful, and it is our moral obligation to condemn the use of human beings for political purposes.”
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton told Breitbart News the plan to bus the migrants to Washington, D.C. and New York City was “genius” during an interview with Alex Marlow on Breitbart News Daily.
“It was a pretty, I think, genius idea by Governor Abbott,” Paxton told Marlow. “I wasn’t sure how well it would work, because we were taking volunteers, and I didn’t know how many people we would get to volunteer to go to D.C. and places like New York, but it turns out there’s enough of them to at least make the point, and clearly to have an impact on Washington, D.C., and New York, even though it is a small number of people, particularly relative to what we’re dealing with every day.”
“We get more people every day than they’ve had to deal with in total. It points out how difficult this situation is, because obviously, you’ve heard complaints from both mayors about how much it’s costing them, and how they’re being overrun with issues like crime,” Paxton explained. “It just highlights how bad this situation is when you have a couple of Democratic mayors complaining about really a drop in the bucket compared to what we’re dealing with.”
Exclusive–Bombshell Emails Reveal Biden’s DHS Still Knowingly Releasing COVID-Positive Border Crossers into U.S.
Internal emails at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), exclusively reviewed by Breitbart News, reveal that the agency is continuing to knowingly release COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the United States.
More than a year after Biden’s DHS was first accused of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior as part of its expansive catch and release operation, the agency is still knowingly carrying out such releases.
The internal emails among Border Patrol (BP) officials reveal recent instances where border crossers and illegal aliens were tested for the Chinese coronavirus and, after having tested positive, were released into the state of Arizona.
On July 26, five female border crossers — at least some of which were COVID-positive — were transported on a bus from DHS custody to the Monte Vista Church, an email shows:
Please ensure that you will take all of the required precautions, including wearing masks, gloves, hand sanitizer, and any other personal protective equipment (PPE) that you think essential. [Emphasis added]
This bus will be transported directly to the NGO and will not be stopping at PHO ERO, they will already be served by Yuma BP due to being COVID+. [Emphasis added]
Sources close to Breitbart News said Biden’s DHS is actually not deporting border crossers and illegal aliens when they test positive for coronavirus.
In one of those cases, a husband and wife had been taken into DHS custody after crossing the U.S.-Mexico border. The wife tested positive for coronavirus while her husband tested negative. As a result, despite both being eligible for Title 42 removal, the COVID-positive wife was allowed to stay in the U.S. while her COVID-negative husband was deported.
In a statement to Breitbart News, a Customs and Border Protection (CBP) spokesperson said the agency “provides migrants with PPE from the moment they are taken into custody, and migrants are required to keep masks on at all times, including when they are transferred or in the process of being released.”
The spokesperson continued:
If anyone exhibits signs of illness in CBP custody, they are referred to local health systems for appropriate testing, diagnosis, and treatment. CBP takes its responsibility to prevent the spread of communicable diseases very seriously. We value our partners in local communities whose work is critical to moving individuals safely out of CBP/USBP custody and through the appropriate immigration pathway.
The revelation comes after Biden and his top DHS officials fended off questions last year about the agency’s seemingly common practice of releasing COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into American communities.
In August of last year, Former Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Mark Morgan estimated that in Biden’s first six months as president, his DHS had potentially released some 40,000 COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens into the U.S. interior.
At the time, Biden’s DHS was forced to admit in federal court that there had been “significantly increased rates” of COVID-positive border crossers and illegal aliens arriving at the southern border.
“The rates at which encountered noncitizens are testing positive for COVID-19 have increased significantly in recent weeks … this has led to increasing numbers of CBP personnel being isolated and hospitalized,” DHS’s David Shahoulian admitted in the August 2021 court brief.
From February 2021 to May 2022, more than a million border crossers and illegal aliens have been released into American communities by the Biden administration. Release figures for June and July have not yet been disclosed.

FNC’s Steve Doocy: Biden Held a Packed Rally to Tout Loan Plan He Used COVID Emergency to Legally Justify
On Friday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Fox & Friends,” co-host Steve Doocy said that the Biden administration has a selective view of the severity of the coronavirus because the administration argued the pandemic is an emergency that justifies the president’s loan program and then held a packed rally in Maryland.
Doocy stated, “The Heroes Act is the justification by the Department of Education, according to the secretary of Education, that they’re using. The Heroes Act, in 2003, was to help men and women who served in Afghanistan and Iraq when we were fighting two wars. And so, then, after that, Donald Trump was — said, you know what, we’re in a time of emergency with the pandemic, we’ll use it at that point. The Biden administration, half the time they’re saying there is no COVID to worry about for the most part. But then, yesterday, they said it’s an emergency, regarding COVID. And last night, the president was up in Rockville, MD, not too far from where you’re sitting, and there were thousands of people sitting six inches from each other, clearly no COVID standards there. So, COVID is over if it’s convenient for Joe’s victory tour.”
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) remarked, “Yeah, but it’s not over if it’s not convenient for his political goals.”
