Homeless shelter recipients are furious at the new tricked-out tent city Mayor Adams has setup for over the border migrants in New York City.
While the homeless are left with dingy and run-down accommodations at the local shelters, migrants are being put up in tents and living the good life.
“They’ve got Xboxes? Get the f–k outta here!” fumed Baran Hines, 36.
The Brooklyn native said he’s been living since late August in the HELP Meyer shelter on Randall’s Island in a high-rise that’s just 350 yards away and visible from the new tent city.
“The building I’m in is so f–king awful,” Hines said. “The smell is awful on every floor. The bathrooms are terrible with piss everywhere and s–t everywhere. There are flies in the bathroom. The tents look five times better.”
Hines claims he sleeps on a raggedy bed with a hard mattress and he won’t eat the food served to him.
“I won’t eat it. That s–t will kill you,” Hines exclaimed angrily. “Once a month, if I recognize the food, I’ll eat it, but you taste some meals and you don’t know what it is.”
Hines says he is an aspiring actor who fell on hard times. He has been homeless since last December, when he was no longer able to stay with his family and it was impossible to turn right around and find somewhere to live.
In contrast to homeless shelter accommodations, city officials on Tuesday showed off the tent city’s rows of gleaming cots accompanied with brand-new bedding still in their packaging.
Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol also raved about the three “culturally appropriate” meals of “South American fare” that will be served daily to the migrants, the first two of whom arrived Wednesday morning.
“The folks have already been providing food, which is great,” Iscol said Tuesday. “Crews, including myself, have been eating it for the past couple of weeks.”
While migrants are enjoying plush couches while watching an array of flat-screen TVs or playing video games in a lounge outfitted with ping-pong and foosball tables, pictures taken by Hines inside the shelter show a spartan TV room with molded, hard plastic chairs.
Another homeless shelter resident, Ricardo Charles, 39, said, “Nobody really goes into the TV room because there’s just one TV so you can’t really choose what you want to watch and the chairs are uncomfortable. Other than the TV room, the only place to sit is the cafeteria. You can sit on the benches in the cafeteria. I have back issues from the beds. You can feel the springs in the mattress. The beds are uncomfortable.”
Charles and Hines both complained about having to walk eight floors due to the building always having elevator issues. Last year, a man was trapped in the malfunctioning elevator for up to four nights until he was rescued by the FDNY.
Meanwhile, migrants in the tent city will have their clothes laundered and folded for them.
Hines said, “Shelter residents have to contend with washing machines that are broken and need constant repair as they cycle in and out of service.”‘
HELP Meyer is run by HELP USA, a nonprofit organization that grew out of one founded by disgraced ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo and was formerly chaired by his sister, Maria Cuomo Cole.
Under terms of a $64.7 million contract, the city pays more than $5,300 a month each to house 200 single men in 95 dorm-style rooms at HELP Meyer.
dams has repeatedly denied that he was favoring the migrants.
During an Oct. 6 radio interview, Adams said, “I’m never going to take away the resources that are for those New Yorkers who are in need of services. We’re not doing that, and we should not have to pit against the migrants and non-migrants.”
Adams has been lying low since the tent city was completed, including by skipping Tuesday’s news conference there.
And on Wednesday, Hizzoner’s schedule included two public events at which City Hall said he wouldn’t answer questions from reporters.
Hines concluded his brief interview by saying, “We have a huge homeless problem already in the city and shelter accommodations are atrocious. Yet, they are going to set up migrants flooding in by the numbers before taking care of the preexisting issues first. Does that make sense?”
What would expect from a LIBRATURD PORCH MONKEY
I bet the same stupid democrats voted for Obama. Democrats keep voting for the same party that keeps screwing them .
What did Trump do for these homeless people before he left office?
That’s liberals thinking of votes🤬Close the border and fix the problems in America first.Our homeless, our vets, our elderly, our drug problems, etc. elderly ppl get the worst treatment ever, even the mentally challenged ppl to. Then government has the nerve to roll out the red carpet for illegal immigrants🤬🤬🤬🤬
The homeless should go to these Tents and show them a real welcome to the United States evict them & if they really want a place to live for free swap places. Jmo
Americans and their anti-American political representatives should be providing NOTHING to these invading illegal aliens! They are OWED NOTHING and have rights to absolutely NONE of OUR benefits, resources, funds, or facilities. Since they’ve voluntarily flooded OUR country due to Obiden’s unconstitutional and criminal EOs, these INVADERS should be responsible for themselves, just like they would in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY IN THE WORLD (of course they would be arrested and sent immediately back to their OWN country in EVERY OTHER COUNTRY except OURS)! The ONLY service they should be FORCED to RECEIVE is the “Fake Covid Death Jab”, just like legal citizens have been illegally forced to receive! THAT alone would quickly thin the herd of these young, obese, unskilled, destitute, uneducated, gang-related, drug dealing moochers! I don’t understand why the Supreme Court hasn’t already SHUT THIS INVASION DOWN since it’s 100% in violation of Federal Immigration Laws? Obiden is fostering rampant RACISM toward these brown and black invaders by hundreds of millions of previously non-racist, legal U.S. citizens due to the overwhelming resentment now present by their actions.
These undocumented migrants should be herded back to the USA border (whether it be north or south) and kicked back into the country they entered from!! They should also be permanently banned from ever re-entering the United States!!
This is what democrats get for voting for a Democrat president. Illegals are getting free food, free housing and free medical while most Americans have to work for what they want and need. Those fence jumpers need to be sent back. Stupid voters keep voting for the same party that keeps screwing them. Biden wants to give illegals social security, Trump never wanted illegals here. Social security benefits are supposed to be exhausted by 2036. Vote democrat and stay poor.
The covid virus shot is experimental. Nobody actually knows what its future effects will have on humans. I never took the shot and never got the virus. All people have to do is put a quarter teaspoon of baking soda in water and drink it every day for 3 weeks. This also works on cancer . The next time you visit your doctor, ask them and you will get their stupid look like they don’t want to tell you the truth. It is called PH, Potential of Hydrogen. Doctors lie for money. They dont want you cured so you will keep coming back to buy their pills and pay them MONEY. If anyone gets acid reflux, take a couple sips of juice from a pickle jar, your acid
reflux will stop.
All doctors ARE liars! Except for Dr Oz. He’s the only good one. And maybe Rand Paul & his dad, but I’m not sure.
Trump/Q ‘22!!!
I agree that the Biden administration is a reproach to the nation he was elected to defend and protect. He is doing neither. Nevertheless, those homeless people in New York who are complaining about their living conditions could clean up the place instead of leaving urine and feces on the floor. Their bathrooms are filthy because they made them that way. They dont’ have anything else to do and there is no excuse for their living conditions being as they are. I realize that one person cannot do it all but those who are receiving tax funds should give these homeless people jobs to do so the place could be kept up. And, I’m fairly certain that there are some homeless people who are able and qualified to repair washers and dryers and keep them running. So there are two problems here and neither is being addressed in the proper way. Vote in different politicians (or should I say, “Get rid of the politicians and vote people in who care about our country.”)
Since these homeless shelter people have all day and they are used to digging in the trash, give them jobs. Instead of the trash collectors dumping the trash in a landfill, have them sort everything and send it for recycling. Biden wants to give the fence jumpers social security while Americans had to work for these benefits. Vote democrat and stay poor.
Sorry to squelch your dreams, but maybe you need to go get a job other than “aspiring actor” and then you won’t have to live in a shelter. Agreed that illegal immigrants (they are NOT migrants) shouldn’t be living better than homeless citizens and at $5300 a month each they should be living pretty good. How much did Cuomo’s sister skim off the top?
Laura W is absolutely correct, the homeless are now crying about their conditions, they are a plight on humanity. I bet you that the illegalls will work and eventually find even better places to live, the homeless are parasites.
It makes me extremely angry that all of the funds are going to homeless and illegals from Social Security. They are stealing money that the American People paid in for their retirement. People who draw SS after years of hard work don’t even get enough to live on. Most are faced with the decision to buy food or medicine they need. Social Security was promised as a way to have retirement for our elderly. How dare someone come into this county illegally and receive money hard working Americans have paid in most of their lives. Shame on the government for allowing this to happen. Social Security was not founded for whatever our current government decides to use it for. Shame on all of them!
