Invading migrants are colonizing cities, driving up rents, inflating prices, importing foreign languages, and pushing locals out of their businesses and neighborhoods, a report says.
‘Overcrowded’ NYC Homeless Shelters Filled with 6,700 Border Crossers
New York City’s “overcrowded” homeless shelters are filled, now housing 6,700 border crossers who have arrived in recent weeks on migrant buses sent from Texas by Gov. Greg Abbott (R).
For months, Abbott has sent buses filled with border crossers to New York City, which prides itself as the nation’s largest sanctuary jurisdiction for illegal aliens.
Newly published figures show the growing number of border crossers entering New York City homeless shelters after their arrival in the sanctuary city.
CNN reports:
By the last week in August, Texas had bused nearly 9,000 migrants to New York City and Washington, DC, as Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican, has sought to highlight what he said is the Biden administration’s failure to secure the border. [Emphasis added]
…
New York City has processed about 8,800 migrants in its shelter system since April, with about 6,700 still in shelters, a city official told CNN Thursday. City officials had said the figure included more than 1,000 children. Many migrants come to New York on their own with the financial assistance of nonprofits. [Emphasis added]
…
Most migrants end up in the city’s overcrowded homeless shelter system, which housed more than 50,000 people as of Thursday night, according to the nonprofit Coalition for the Homeless, which monitors shelter census reports. Some wait hours to be reunited with relatives who live in the area. Others, looking confused and disappointed, tell volunteers they believed they were headed to another city or state. New York is using 17 hotels as emergency shelters, a city official told CNN. [Emphasis added]
The latest figures showing 6,900 border crossers in New York City homeless shelters is a significant jump from the roughly 4,900 who were in the shelter system just a couple of weeks ago.
Most recently, city officials said they are “struggling” to find housing for the waves of illegal immigration to New York City and are looking at expanding the number of border crossers being housed in luxury hotels in Manhattan, paid for with taxpayer money.
Such a plan could cost New Yorkers about $300 million even as record-setting rents and housing prices continue to push out the city’s working- and middle-class residents.

Report: Migrant ‘Invasion’ Is Spiking Rents, Inflation
Invading migrants are colonizing cities, driving up rents, inflating prices, importing foreign languages, and pushing locals out of their businesses and neighborhoods, a report says.
But the report is unlikely to get much criticism from pro-migration lobbies in the United States because it describes the criticism by Mexicans about Americans who use their income from U.S. jobs to occupy cheaper apartments in Mexico.
“Locals are calling it gentrification, a plague or even an invasion,” the report by Al Jazeera said.
“You’re thinking of moving to Mexico City? Wow,” one Mexico City resident told Al Jazeera. “One important recommendation: Don’t come,” he added.
“People who live in Mexico City, and people who work in Mexico City, such as myself, we want to get a place but it is really difficult because the prices as so high… It is messed up,” a second Mexican told Al Jazeera.
Al Jazeera is an Arab TV network based in Qatar. It strongly supports migration into the United States.
But the clear language used in the report — “modern colonialism … invasion … flood of Americans … rent has more than doubled … rising costs and inflation … Americans ignoring cultural and social norms” is rarely used by establishment outlets when covering migration into the United States.
Instead, nearly all establishment media reports cover immigration issues using language that favors the preferences of businesses and of immigrants, not average Americans.
The language is used because business-backed progressives want to stigmatize and suppress the widespread American criticism of the government-run mass migration programs that have suppressed wages and spiked rents for hundreds of millions of Americans.
For example, a July report in the Los Angeles Times used softer, euphemistic language to describe the migration shock felt by Mexicans:
There’s the problem of newcomers’ “indifference as to how their actions are affecting locals,” he said, but also the fact that Mexicans cannot migrate to the U.S. with the same ease. He also believes that Americans, many of whom are white, are reinforcing the city’s pervasive — if infrequently discussed — caste system.
…
Some Mexicans aren’t unhappy about the American inundation, like Sandra Hernández, a real estate agent who said all of the recent deals she has closed have involved Americans. They mostly want houses or apartments in the Art Deco style, she said, and are all willing to pay the asking price.
…
He has been struck by the number of remote workers flooding in and worries that they are different. The nature of their jobs means they don’t necessarily have to learn Spanish or integrate into Mexican society, he said. It allows a certain aloofness that wasn’t possible a few years ago..
However, many polls show that Americans prefer a wage-boosting tight labor market to oppose corporate-pushed mass migration. The polls show that voters are eager to back politicians who will help reduce the pocketbook damage caused by the government’s policy of extracting workers, consumers, and renters from poor countries for use in the United States.
A majority of Americans say President Joe Biden is allowing a southern border invasion, according to an August poll commissioned by the left-of-center, taxpayer-supported National Public Radio (NPR). The 54 percent “Invasion” majority includes 76 percent of Republicans, 46 percent of independents, and even 40 percent of Democrats.
American Latinos also want their politicians to protect them from migration, according to a recent survey by pro-migration progressives: “Inflation and jobs are the #1 and #3 priorities, findings that track with long-standing Latino concerns about the economy. Health care is the fourth priority. Notably, crime/gun violence rose to #2.”
However, GOP leaders are reluctant to campaign on the promise of reducing the pocketbook damage done by migration — largely because GOP donors strongly prefer the current economic strategy of importing foreign workers, consumers, and renters.
181K Migrants Apprehended in August Along SW Border, Says CBP Source
Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 181,000 migrants who illegally crossed the U.S.-Mexico Border in August, according to U.S. Customs and Border Protection documents reviewed by Breitbart Texas. The apprehensions are at virtually the same level as July.
Border Patrol agents working the nine southwest sectors of the U.S.- Mexico Border apprehended more than 181,000 migrants in August, a CBP document leaked by a source within the organization who spoke to Breitbart Texas under the condition of anonymity. This is down from the 196,514 apprehended in August 2021, but is up from 47,283 in August 2020.
The number of migrants apprehended after illegally crossing the border between ports of entry fell slightly for the third straight month. The number of migrant apprehensions peaked in May at a record-setting 224,397.
With one month to go in the current fiscal year, Border Patrol agents apprehended more than 1.93 million migrants. This compares to the 1,659,206 for the entire Fiscal Year 2021.
Of the 181,000 migrants apprehended in August, nearly 117,000 were in the five Texas-based Border Patrol sectors, Breitbart Texas reported. Agents assigned to the Rio Grande Valley, Laredo, Del Rio, Big Bend, and El Paso Sectors apprehended approximately 65 percent of the total number of migrants taken into custody along the southwest border with Mexico in August, the source revealed. This represents just under 3,800 migrants per day being apprehended in the Texas-based sectors.
The Del Rio Sector remained in first place in August with more than 52,000 apprehensions. The Rio Grande Valley Sector fell to third place with more than 27,000 apprehensions. The El Paso Sector jumped into second place with nearly 30,000 migrants apprehended.
