Tons of Venezuelan migrants in New York City are hopping on vans to head down to Florida for Hurricane Ian clean-up.
The migrant were told very little information before being hauled off in vans to the sunshine state this weekend.
“They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” said Javier Moreno, 37, noting that a woman named Camila from an organization approached him with a flier. “I’m going for the work. It’s been hard for us migrants to find work here in New York, that’s why a lot of us are going. How’s the work in Florida?”
A driver of one of the vans at the designated pick-up site, a corner in Corona, said he was headed to Florida on Saturday.
“I’m under contract with a water and debris company. I’m taking these people in the van straight to Florida tonight,” the van driver said. “I don’t know how many people have left or how many more vans are coming.”
The migrants were leaving city shelters in droves to try to catch a ride and gain employment down south.
One migrant woman said, “I learned of the vans and the potential work from group chats that the migrants are in. It was on a WhatsApp ad. We all decided we would go.”
When asked who was offering the work, she simply said, “I don’t know anything, sweetheart.”
Some of them said they also had been tipped to the opportunity by a woman named Camila.
Gregorio Avila, 22, said he came from Venezuela and entered the US through Texas before being bused to Gotham.
Avila said, “Some lady named Camila had offered me and some others work in Tampa. They are telling us that are we going to work. We have a contact with a lady who is taking us to Florida. We are going to work as contractors on the disaster.”
A Venezuelan asylum seeker said about 100 people had left the 30th Street men’s shelter in Manhattan to take advantage of the work offer.
“I came back to the shelter one night to find that people were leaving in vans,” the 38-year-old man said. “I don’t know how they found out about it, but when I got back, like 100 of them had left.“
“I didn’t want to go because’’ there were too many questions about the offer, he said.
Corona resident Joseph Venuto, 55, said, “I’ve seen about 30 people leave from the corner in recent days and I assume the Federal Emergency Management Agency is behind the effort.”
A rep for FEMA claims they have no involvement in what is going on with the migrants.
A spokesperson for Mayor Eric Adams also denied that City Hall had any involvement in the transport of any migrants.
Sounds like chess game going on. I hope the jobs are real or Florida will have more to finance besides clean-up.
