WHAT DEMS SUBSIDZED HOUSING AND HEALTHCARE FOR AMERICA'S HOMELESS LIVING ON SIDEWALKS???
Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), on Thursday, slammed Biden’s plan to open Obamacare and Medicaid rolls to illegal aliens, calling it “an insult to American citizenship.”
“Rewarding illegal immigration will bring more illegal immigration,” Cotton said.
New York County Exec.: Adams Is Dumping Migrants on Us Without Warning Because He ‘Can’t Handle’ Being a Sanctuary City
On Monday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “Your World,” Rockland County, New York Executive Ed Day (R) stated New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) didn’t warn local officials about his plan to send migrants to Rockland County and that Adams “decided he wanted [to be] a sanctuary [city], and he got it. And now he realized he bit off more than he can chew and he can’t handle it.”
Day stated, “We had to figure it out ourselves…the Mayor and the Mayor’s office were not giving any details. We had to figure out through investigation exactly where this was going to be. We figured out what hotel it was. We got information that told us how many people were coming. They consistently refused to tell us when they were coming. So, they left us no choice. We have no idea what’s happening. And I resent the fact that somehow Mayor Adams thinks he has a hold on humanity and treating people well. He’s doing these folks no favors. We actually have a very humane course of action here. We have great connections with our local not-for-profits that were at my press conference today, treating people right. What the Mayor is doing right now is taking people, trying to have New York City homeless shelters outside New York City, in direct violation of zoning laws.”
He continued, “We have a situation where the Mayor of New York decided he wanted [to be] a sanctuary [city], and he got it. And now he realized he bit off more than he can chew and he can’t handle it. So, he wants to take these poor folks and dump them wherever.”

NY Gov. Kathy Hochul Begs Biden for Bailout: Americans Must Subsidize Housing, Healthcare for Illegal Aliens
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is pleading with President Joe Biden to bail out the sanctuary state with American taxpayers footing the bill to provide border crossers and illegal aliens with jobs, subsidized housing, healthcare, and public transit.
As more than 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York since the spring of last year, Hochul is formally asking Biden to take a number of steps that would see American taxpayers — the majority of whom do not live in New York — pay for subsidized social services for the new arrivals.
“For over a year, I have called for federal assistance and support for New York as we manage the unprecedented number of asylum seekers arriving in our state,” Hochul said in a televised address on Thursday:
New York cannot continue to do this on its own. It is past time for President Biden to take action and provide New York with the aid needed to continue managing this ongoing crisis. [Emphasis added]
Specifically, Hochul is asking Biden to give work permits to border crossers and illegal aliens immediately after they are released into the United States interior.
In addition, Hochul wants billions in American taxpayer money to provide border crossers and illegal aliens in New York with healthcare services, housing vouchers, free public transportation, and additional English as a Second Language (ESL) services in the state’s public schools.
Hochul is also asking Biden to reimburse New York for the cost of deploying the National Guard.
“It is the federal government’s direct responsibility to manage and control of the nation’s borders,” Hochul wrote in the letter to Biden:
Without any capacity or responsibility to address the cause of the migrant influx, New Yorkers cannot then shoulder these costs. I cannot ask New Yorkers to pay for what is fundamentally a federal responsibility and I urge the federal government to take prompt and significant action today to meet its obligation to New York State. [Emphasis added]
Even as Hochul pitches Biden the billion-dollar bailout, she has championed mass immigration to New York for months — arguing it is a boon for business.
“There are not enough workers here in the state of New York,” Hochul said months ago. “This is something that is … affecting us with this historic labor shortage. But at the same time … we also have this unprecedented influx of individuals arriving in New York … they’re eager to work, they want to work, they came here in search of work, for a new future.”
Already, American taxpayers are billed $143 billion annually for costs associated with illegal immigration. This estimate does not include any of the social and economic costs — such as higher housing prices, depleted wages, lost jobs, increased crime, and strained public resources at hospitals and schools.

The Biden administration has largely ignored efforts to get native-born Americans back into the workforce, instead adding millions of foreign workers to the labor market which adds downward pressure, particularly for working-class Americans in terms of finding jobs and securing higher wages. JOHN BINDER
Is it all that different from his open borders policies, where millions of unvetted foreign migrants are flooding into this country without authorization, bringing crime, drugs, and costs, yet there too nothing is done about it? Joe offers an absurd excuse for that decision, as well claiming that all migrants who can utter the magic word 'asylum' are entitled to a free ride inside the U.S. for years or more, amounting to an all-expenses paid trip for thousands.

Faced with an unrelenting surge of foreign nationals coming to the southern border, the Biden Administration has devised a new plan: More comfortable housing for people in the country illegally.
NYC Council’s ‘Common Sense Caucus’ Urges State Supreme Court to Amend ‘Right to Shelter’ Rules for Illegals
The New York City Council’s Common Sense Caucus has sent a letter asking the state’s Supreme Court to amend the “right to shelter” rules to allow Big Apple officials to turn away illegal immigrants if resources are unavailable to house them.
Council member Robert Holden, a registered Democrat, recently posted his letter to New York Supreme Court Judge Erika Edwards on X (formerly Twitter), revealing his request, backed by seven other city council members, to amend the state’s rules requiring officials to pay for shelters for illegals.
Holden’s letter let the Supreme Court know that they are supporting the defendants and the City of New York in efforts to seek an amendment in the Callahan vs. Carey right-to-shelter ruling that “would allow the City to cease the right to shelter when it ‘lacks the resources and capacity to establish and maintain sufficient shelter sites.'”
In 1979, the Callahan vs. Carey decision ensured the right to shelter for homeless people in New York City. But the decades-old ruling is woefully outdated, the Common Sense Caucus says.
“On May 22, 2023, Assistant Corporation Counsel Jonathan Pines wrote to the court that New York City was in crisis due to an unprecedented influx of migrants, which had compelled the city to extend itself ‘further than its resources will allow,'” the letter reads, “placing in jeopardy the City’s obligation to… provide for the well-being of all its citizens.'”
“In the three months since, this crisis has escalated and the need for relief from this consent decree is more urgent than ever. Our city is long past its breaking point,” the group’s letter continued.
“When the parties signed the Callahan vs. Carey consent degree 42 years ago, they could not have possibly imagined the dire situation the City finds itself in now, nor did they contemplate that the newly created right to shelter would apply to migrants who are neither United States citizens nor New Yorkers,” the letter said.
The legislators also noted that the right to shelter has been amended several times, including to add certain limits, so it is clear that the ruling “does not extend the right to shelter to anyone, under any circumstance, for any period of time,” they said.
WATCH: Migrants Waiting for Entry to Roosevelt Hotel
emorris“Unfortunately, even as duly elected Members of the New York City Council, we do not have the authority to provide a legislative solution to this current crisis,” the letter states. “That authority is entirely yours,” the letter reminds the state’s Supreme Court.
“We urge you to do what is right for the residents of New York City and grant the Defendants’ motion to limit the right to shelter and provide urgently needed relief from this consent decree,” the letter concludes.
The letter is signed by Holden and council members, including Joseph Borelli, Inna Vernikov, David Carr, Joann Ariola, Vickie Paladino, Kalman Yeger, and Ari Kagan.
WATCH: Migrants Waiting for Entry to Roosevelt Hotel
Saul AcevedoThe case has become a hot potato for some New York Democrats. State Attorney General Letitia James, for instance, is refusing to even represent the Democrat governor in the lawsuit seeking to expand the state’s right-to-shelter rules, an expansion that would force the government to fund even more shelters.
On the other hand, at least one New York county executive has announced that he won’t take any more border crossers from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, right to shelter rules or not.
On August 12, Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz demanded that Mayor Adams stop bussing illegals from New York City to his northern New York county after two of Adams’ migrants were arrested and accused of rape in Erie County shelters.
The influx of illegal aliens has easily reached crisis levels. According to CBS News, more than 95,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring alone.

The Problem With Biden’s Plan to House Illegal Aliens
Another racket designed for very clear purposes.
Faced with an unrelenting surge of foreign nationals coming to the southern border, the Biden Administration has devised a new plan: More comfortable housing for people in the country illegally.
The White House is requesting roughly $1 billion in funding to set up new housing for illegal aliens while their overwhelmingly illegitimate asylum claims play out in the courts. Under the administration’s plan, beneficiaries of this new program would be free to go where they wish during the day, but would have to check in and stay the night in their houses, according to Axios.
But, here’s the kicker. According to the Washington Free Beacon, the language of the White House’s proposal would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use any of its funding on housing for illegal aliens instead of enforcement. The use of the funds would be at the discretion of anti-borders Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. One can only imagine how Mayorkas is salivating at the potential opportunity to use his agency’s funding to further his anti-borders agenda.
As former Acting ICE Director and Immigration Reform Law Institute Senior Fellow Tom Homan put it, this program would “would serve as yet another enticement, another magnet that will bring more families to our borders.”
If this new housing program were to take effect, it would serve as further encouragement for foreign nationals to make the dangerous journey through Central America to the U.S. The Biden Administration spent the first half of 2023 concocting schemes to artificially lower the number of illegal crossings at the southern border, but those numbers still skyrocketed by more than 30 percent last month. The promise of new and improved housing for illegal aliens will surely cause those numbers to soar even higher, empowering the cartels, and causing many migrants to die in the process, while further disrupting border communities already overwhelmed by the crisis.
The administration’s proposed housing program appears to be another racket, designed to weaken our borders under the guise of compassion. Everyone agrees that foreign nationals, even those who cross our border illegally, deserve to be treated humanely and compassionately while they’re here, but this housing plan goes far beyond that. Instead, the plan uses the promise of free housing and freedom of movement to lure more foreign nationals into the country, and it does so during a time when many Americans have been forced to live on the streets due to the lack of affordable housing in the U.S.
If you live in or have recently visited a major U.S. city, it is impossible not to notice the large number of Americans living in tents and blankets on the streets, and the statistics bear this reality out. More than 420,000 Americans are currently homeless, and that number has climbed by around six percent every year since 2017, according to National Alliance to End Homelessness. This includes roughly 37,000 veterans, who have been forced to sleep in the streets of the country they risked their lives to serve. If the Biden Administration is looking to expand housing for certain groups, they should start with the hundreds of thousands of Americans who are currently homeless.
Thankfully, Congress, not the administration, holds the power of the purse, and thus has the final say on whether this program will be funded. Congress should decline to play games with the administration’s misplaced priorities, and instead insist that any new funding for ICE and DHS go towards enforcement and border security, not increased comfort for those who have violated our laws and illegally crossed our border.
Almost every policy this administration proposes or enacts on this issue is designed to weaken America’s borders and import even more illegal aliens into the country. This new housing program is just the latest example of this.

"This is how they will destroy America from within. The leftist billionaires who orchestrate these plans are wealthy. Those tasked with representing us in Congress will never be exposed to the cost of the invasion of millions of migrants. They have nothing but contempt for those of us who must endure the consequences of our communities being intruded upon by gang members, drug dealers and human traffickers. These people have no intention of becoming Americans; like the Democrats who welcome them, they have contempt for us." PATRICIA McCARTHY
Penn State offers in-state tuition to out-of-staters if certain conditions are met
It is a timeless aphorism: “Under the left, it pays to be a criminal.” It was true of the Nazi Party’s Brownshirts, it was true of the Bolshevik revolutionaries, and it’s true of America’s illegal alien population under the modern Democrats.
Per a Campus Reform article out Wednesday:
Amidst a budget crisis, Pennsylvania State University offers in-state tuition rates to qualifying illegal immigrants while American citizens across the country are charged out-of-state tuition.
For reference, in-state tuition is roughly half of the out-of-state price tag ($19,284 compared to $38,651). Furthermore:
… foreign students who legally immigrated to the United States to study at Penn State paid more than even out-of-state students, as tuition and fees amounted to $40,151.
Alright, so let me get this straight. If you’re an out-of-stater looking to attend Penn State, your residency status doesn’t matter, just as long as you’re not an American citizen, or a legal immigrant who respects the rule of law. However, if you’re a migrant whose first act upon entering the country was to commit a felony, then you’re in luck!
Sounds about right for Democrats.
Let’s give credit where credit is due — for a group that’s usually marred by wholesale inconsistency, they can be remarkably consistent. I mean, their “no uterus, no opinion” but men can also be women because anatomy doesn’t determine “gender”? “In this house we believe … kindness is everything” unless you’re a “MAGAt”? Tolerance, diversity, and multiculturalism are virtues but it’s fine to abuse Christian conservatives? But…. When it comes to their hatred for America and their love of lawlessness, they’re supremely consistent.
Ronald Reagan laid the foundation for the absolute trainwreck invasion by which we now find ourselves victimized, and we are paying, literally and figuratively.
In 1776, Thomas Paine wrote the first American Crisis pamphlet, which included this line, “What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: It is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”
Everything is “cheap” to the migrants pouring into our communities: from “citizenship” to college. How could they ever understand what those things really cost?

Biden Approves Migrant Camp at NYC Airfield Despite Residents’ Opposition
President Joe Biden is ignoring concerns from Brooklyn, New York, residents and has greenlit a plan that will see at least 2,000 single adult male border crossers and illegal aliens housed in a former naval airfield facility — paid for by New Yorkers.
On Tuesday, residents in southeast Brooklyn protested New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) plan to turn Floyd Bennett Field, owned by the federal government, into a massive migrant camp.
The former naval airfield sits along Jamaica Bay and near multiple neighborhoods including Gerritsen Beach, Roxbury, and Breezy Point.
“I live here, I grew up here,” one resident told News 12. “It’s going to make the neighborhood way more dangerous.”
During the protest, former GOP candidate for New York City mayor Curtis Sliwa blamed Biden’s lax enforcement of federal immigration law for the more than 100,000 migrants that have arrived in the city since the spring of last year.
“The people here feel that they have been betrayed,” Sliwa said at the protest. “No transparency whatsoever. It’s like ‘Pay your taxes, shut up, raise your kids, and we’ll tell you what you’re going to do.’ Well, we’ve had enough, no more of the illegal aliens. Enough is enough, this is Joe Biden’s problem.”

Despite concerns from nearby residents, Hochul confirmed on Wednesday that the Biden administration had approved her plan to house thousands of border crossers and illegal aliens at the airfield.
Hochul, praising the effort, said New Yorkers will pick up the tab for the migrant camp.
“I’m viewing this as a significant development by the administration … to acknowledge that we need more help here,” Hochul said.
The migrant camp at the airfield will be among many set up in New York City. Also this week, Mayor Eric Adams (D) opened a mega migrant shelter on Randall’s Island that will disrupt recreation services for school children as it sits on three soccer fields.
That mega shelter may soon house about 3,000 single adult male border crossers and illegal aliens at a cost of $20 million every month for New York City taxpayers. This is in addition to the $12 billion bill that New Yorkers are projected to pay to provide housing, food, care, and public services to migrants arriving from the southern border.
