I just found out that FEMA sent $59M last week to luxury hotels in NYC for illegal migrants. This seems to violate the law and goes against the President’s executive order. That money should be used for American disaster relief, not high-end accommodations for illegals. A clawback demand will be made today.

Roosevelt Avenue is a ghost town; parking is plentiful where it once wasn't. I witnessed families being released from a facility, some possibly headed to Guantanamo Bay. My city, and the country, are being overrun by illegal immigrants, costing billions of taxpayer dollars. These immigrants are enjoying the amenities, while many Americans are facing job insecurity and housing displacement. The irony is that those celebrating this influx are the very ones who will be negatively impacted. Tom Homan will shut this down. Find a new job, because your days are numbered.

There's hope for the state of New York. There's hope for America now because Roosevelt Avenue in Queens, New York, I was there yesterday. I was shocked. I was born and raised there my whole life, and I it was a ghost town at 05:00 in the afternoon, and there was parking available. Unbelievable. Unbelievable. Got another family unit here from Venezuela exiting the facility. They're not in school for some reason. They're supposed to be in school. Maybe they're going shipped out to another hotel or maybe they're going to Guantanamo Bay. Yes. Guantanamo Bay is open for business now. You don't need to be an Islamic Jihad to be in Guantanamo Bay Cuba. So a lot of these bad of the bad the bad of the bad illegals are going to Guantanamo Bay on a vacation because we can't trust them to go back to their country.

I uncovered that FEMA allocated $59 million last week to luxury hotels in NYC for housing illegal migrants, including the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the Pakistani government. This hotel was nearly closed before Biden's administration repurposed it as a shelter after opening the borders. NYC is paying $220 million to rent it as part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout for Pakistan. A whistleblower revealed ongoing issues at the hotel, which has become a crime hotspot, with reports of dangerous behavior and gang activity. Those responsible for this funding should face consequences.

@ImMeme0 - I Meme Therefore I Am 🇺🇸

DOGE has uncovered that FEMA allocated $59 MILLION last week to luxury hotels in New York City to house illegal migrants. One of these hotels is the Roosevelt Hotel, which is owned by the Pakistani government. The hotel was on the verge of closing before Biden took office. Shortly after his administration opened the borders to illegal migrants, the hotel was repurposed as a migrant shelter. New York City is paying $220 MILLION to rent the entire hotel for housing illegal migrants. This deal is part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package aimed at preventing Pakistan from defaulting on its international debt. In 2023, a whistleblower came forward to expose the situation at the Roosevelt Hotel, which continues to be funded by American taxpayers to this day. The Roosevelt Hotel has become a hotspot for crime, with reports of young children drinking and engaging in dangerous behavior, gang members taking over, and incidents involving guns and violence. Its residents have been linked to robberies at local stores. Anyone responsible for authorizing and transferring taxpayer money to prolong this situation should be put in handcuffs.

Video Transcript AI Summary
As a Royal Hotel administrator, I oversaw nearly 5,000 migrants. The hotel provided everything from medical care to cribs, with numerous babies born weekly. However, the situation deteriorated rapidly. Alcohol abuse, underage drinking, sexual activity, and even guns became commonplace in this family hotel. I witnessed a drunk ten-year-old with two other intoxicated children whose parents had left them. Security guards frequently dealt with weapons and threats. Staff faced assaults and threats, needing escorts to their vehicles. Shoplifting escalated into physical altercations. My five years at the hotel have been the worst of my career, and the city’s handling of the migrant situation is alarming and unsustainable.

Speaker 0: I was a side administrator at the Royal Hotel. So in the hotel, we have close to 5,000 migrants. If anything involving this hotel, I was helping run it. Everything ranging from doctor's visits to medication is paid for for the migrants. Anything you can possibly think of, it's being given to them. Car seats, cribs for newborns. There's, I wanna say, at least two to three babies a week being born at this hotel. The migrants being in those hotels have destroyed them. There's a lot of alcohol in these rooms. Housekeeping is there all week, and they'll clean it. And by the end of the night, it's it's there's kids getting drunk together. There's people hooking up with each other. There's multiple guns in these rooms as well. The alarming thing is that this hotel is meant to be a family hotel. Speaker 1: You were actually showing me some text messages between a social worker about a drunk ten year old in this hotel. Can you talk to us about what happened there? Speaker 0: Yeah. It was a drunk ten year old who was caught with a 14 and a 12 year old, and all three of them were intoxicated. And when we looked them up in the system, the parents had checked out two days ago. Speaker 2: So the parents just left them there? Speaker 0: Yeah. The parents will leave the kids unattended in the hotel. We heard a security guard start yelling, there's a gun on-site. There's a gun on-site. It was probably an upset person that we had kicked out of the hotel. I myself have been assaulted. I've seen other people get assaulted. I've had threats saying, you know, we'll be waiting for you guys outside. There's been times where staff has had to be, you know, escorted to their cars, to their, to their trains. Speaker 2: Because the migrants are threatening them. Speaker 0: Yeah. Often at times there was migrants causing chaos with with shoplifting. The one instance where I showed you that video, aside from being caught shoplifting, they started getting physical. And a lot of the times it was, you know, go calm the migrant down, get them inside the hotel. I've been doing this for five years and in my five years this has been the worst experience by far. The city of New York does not know what they're doing and it's only gonna get worse from here.

I need to highlight something shocking: FEMA allocated $59 million to house undocumented immigrants in luxury hotels in New York. Meanwhile, the FEMA Administrator recently stated in an Oversight Hearing that there’s no funding available to help North Carolina recover from Hurricane Helene. She mentioned that FEMA can't reimburse communities for rebuilding after federally-declared natural disasters like Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton. It's hard to find words for this apparent mismanagement and corruption.

@WallStreetApes - Wall Street Apes

I need to point out something absolutely insane FEMA just sent $59 million to house illegals in luxury hotels in New York But just a short while ago the FEMA Administrator said in an Oversight Hearing there was NO MONEY to rebuild North Carolina after Hurricane Helene “FEMA won't be able to reimburse communities that are rebuilding from federally-declared natural disasters — Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton” - CBS News She literally said, they’re out of money…. There are just no words to describe this anti-American corruption

Video Transcript AI Summary
President Biden requested $98 billion in emergency funding for recent natural disasters, Hurricanes Helene and Milton. These storms caused over 200 deaths and extensive damage. FEMA's disaster relief fund has only $5 billion remaining. Without additional funding, FEMA will soon be limited to immediate needs, impacting rebuilding efforts in affected communities, particularly smaller and rural ones. FEMA has already provided over $1.6 billion in individual assistance and $1.3 billion in public assistance to nearly a million households. Helene and Milton's recovery costs are projected to exceed $50 billion each and will span years, surpassing all previous disasters this decade except Hurricane Maria.
Full Transcript
Speaker 0: Monday, president Biden asked Congress for $98,000,000,000 in emergency funding to help offset the cost of recent natural disasters, including hurricanes Helene and Milton. Those back to back storms killed over two hundred people. Survivors are still digging out of storm damage. The FEMA administrator testified that the current balance of the nation's disaster relief fund is just $5,000,000,000. And if that sounds like a lot of money, well, without that emergency funding, FEMA is going to be forced to revert to what's called immediate needs funding within weeks. That means even though the disaster agency can do lifesaving work in places like Western North Carolina, debris removal, providing shelter, food, and water, they won't be able to reimburse communities that are actually now rebuilding from recent federally declared natural disasters, including many small and rural communities. Since Helene and Milton, FEMA says it's provided more than 1,600,000,000.0 in assistance to nearly a million households. That's on top of 1,300,000,000.0 in public assistance. Recovery for these two storms is likely to add up to more than $50,000,000,000 apiece and will take years. The FEMA administrator said already the recovery costs associated with Helene and Milton are outpacing all previous disasters within the past decade with the exception of hurricane Maria.

We must stop the influx at the border and stop incentivizing this behavior. Furthermore, New York's top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This is unacceptable and should not be a discussion. New York Republicans fought this previously but are concerned about the court's potential bias.

Speaker 0: Look. It cost New York and this little salvage of us billions of dollars, because the the water was wide open for four years. And the mayor that spoke up got exiled in the Democratic Party. Ironically, he's about to be, I I guess, in a way, pardoned or or, protected by this president who sees a lot of the targeting of mayor, Eric Adams, as the same thing that happened to him.

FEMA CFO SHITCANNED FOR SENDING $59 MILLION FOR ILLEGALS. https://t.co/aB82JypJC1

Video Transcript AI Summary
We received a statement from DHS regarding the $59,000,000 sent from FEMA to NYC for migrants. Four employees are being fired for making the payment without authorization. This misappropriation of funds is long overdue. Billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted on housing, clothing, food, education, and healthcare for illegal immigrants in New York City. This incentivizes sanctuary cities like New York to continue these practices. President Trump’s leadership is needed to stop this. Mayor Eric Adams and Governor Kathy Hochul have been criticized for their handling of the migrant crisis. New York's top court is considering allowing non-citizen voting, which would add 800,000 voters. This shouldn't be a discussion; New York Republicans fought this effort and won in lower courts, but the court of appeals is a concern.

Speaker 0: Fox News Alert moments ago, we received this together. We received a statement from the DHS regarding the $59,000,000 sent from FEMA to New York City migrants last week. Quote, four employees being fired today for circumventing leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels for migrants in New York City. We have not we have not announced it yet, so you have, so we have it first. There's gonna be firing, so names are gonna be out, and let's bring in New York congressman Mike Lawler. Congressman, your thought about that move? Speaker 1: Well, it's long overdue, frankly. These funds have been misappropriated, going back to the Biden administration. And New York City, a sanctuary city, has been wasting billions of dollars of taxpayer money, billions with a b, to provide free housing, clothing, food, education, and health care to illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens that are here illegally. And so, you know, I I applaud, frankly, DHS, for taking action, to stop these payments, under president Trump's leadership because we have incentivized cities like New York and states like New York, a sanctuary state, to allow this to continue, and it has to stop. Speaker 0: Look. It cost New York and this little salvage of us billions of dollars, because the the water was wide open for four years. And the mayor that spoke up got exiled in the Democratic Party. Ironically, he's about to be, I I guess, in a way, pardoned or or, protected by this president who sees a lot of the targeting of mayor, Eric Adams, as the same thing that happened to him. Speaker 1: No question. Eric Adams spoke out against what the Biden administration was doing. He said that the migrant crisis was, quote, unquote, destroying New York City. Kathy Hochul, authorized billions of dollars of state taxpayer money, to pay for all these expenditures. Meanwhile, she's fleecing hardworking New Yorkers twenty five hundred dollars just for the privilege of driving to work. It it really just speaks volumes to how inept, incompetent, and corrupt, New York has become under feckless leadership. Speaker 0: Right. Speaker 1: We have to stop this massive influx at the border, which is what president Trump is doing, but we have to stop incentivizing states and cities like New York by spending billions, and in this case, from FEMA, fifty nine million dollars, to support their efforts to circumvent federal law. That's really what this boils down to. States like New York are circumventing federal law Right. Allowing illegal immigrants, to get benefits and access to taxpayer money. Speaker 0: Alright. So let's talk about something else that's just bizarre that that's happening in New York. New York's top court said to consider noncitizen voting in New York City elections today. Get this.

Perhaps more shockingly, the money went to Pakistan thanks to a deal brokered by Sen Schumer. The Roosevelt Hotel is owned by Pakistan and is now leased by NYC to house illegal migrants. Thanks to FEMA, Pakistan has made $100 million so far out of a total $220 million deal negotiated by the city.

Critics are pointing out the contrast of this situation with the treatment of citizens affected by natural disasters who did not receive adequate assistance. The funds, allegedly sent through a program separate from the disaster relief fund, have done little to quell public anger. Some feel the money could have been used to address homelessness and create housing for American citizens instead. Some are calling for FEMA to be shut down completely.

I shared my thoughts on the Biden Administration's handling of illegal immigration, claiming they prioritized amplifying it using taxpayer money. I pointed out that funds meant for Americans were redirected to luxury accommodations for illegal immigrants, even after an executive order was signed to stop it. I believe this strategy aims to create a new voter base, as the likelihood of illegal immigrants voting Democrat is high. Additionally, I criticized the use of a costly app designed to facilitate their entry, suggesting it undermines the integrity of swing states.

@AutismCapital - Autism Capital 🧩

🚨NEW: Elon Musk shares that the Biden Administration was importing illegals to flip swing states and did everything possible to amplify illegal immigration on taxpayer dime. ELON: "It's important for people to understand the Biden Administration sent any possible money they could send to amplify illegal immigration. They took money from FEMA meant for helping Americans in distress and sent it to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in NY. That is an outrage. They actually did that. Not only that, even after The President signed an EO saying it has to stop, the deep state bureaucrats still pressed send on $80M last week to send money to The Roosevelt Hotel and other places. Now they're mad and they're trying to sue to have it restored. The gumption of these people." SCHMITT: "Do you think they were trying to create a new voter class?" ELON: "Yes. Look at basic incentives. If the probability that an illegal is going to vote Democrat is 80-90% then the incentive is to maximized the umber of illegals in the country. That is why the Biden administration was pushing to get in as many illegals as possible. because every on e of them is a customer. Every one of them is voter. The entire thing is a giant voter important scam. Then they created this CBP1 app to literally fly people in. When people are being flown in at your expense that is crazy. Then we found out some guy in London was paid $100M to make this app. When they're flying illegals into the swing states, it's not going to be a swing state for long."

Video Transcript AI Summary
The Biden administration has been allocating funds to facilitate and amplify illegal immigration, even redirecting FEMA money intended for Americans to luxury hotels for immigrants. This continued even after an executive order was signed to stop it. The administration created the CBP One app, literally flying people into the country at taxpayer expense, with a $100 million contract awarded to someone in London. The incentive is clear: maximize the number of potential Democrat voters by any means necessary. This is a voter importation scam. They're flying illegals into swing states. With a small, modular victory margin, injecting a large number of new immigrants can change the political landscape. This is a long-term investment that is guaranteed to pay off.

Mhmm. Okay. They took money from FEMA meant for helping Americans in distress and sent that money to luxury hotels for illegal immigrants in New York. That is a Yeah. An outrage. Yeah. They actually did that.

Create a new voter class, get them citizenship, get them in. Cards, vote. A lot Speaker 0: of these things, like you don't actually have to assume some grand conspiracy. You just need to look at basic incentives. Who benefits? So if the incentives the the the fundamentally, if if the probability that an illegal is gonna vote Democrat at some point, whether it's a, you know, cheating or but eventually, can become citizens. But if the if the probability is like 90%, just look at California, which is super majority them. And then the incentive is to maximize the number of illegals in the That is why the Biden administration was pushing to get in as many illegals as possible and spend every dollar possible to get as many because every one of them is a customer. Everyone's a voter. Yeah. And so the the whole thing was a giant voter importation scam. Speaker 1: Pretty obvious. Very obvious. Yeah.

A security guard was struck, and two migrants were arrested, marking the third violent incident in months. Adams is urging the White House to expedite work permits for migrants, as idleness fuels tension. Adams also aims to amend sanctuary city laws, allowing the NYPD to alert ICE when migrants are accused of crimes, a practice opposed by immigration advocates. He argues those accused of multiple robberies shouldn't remain here during their case. An audit revealed the city overpaid for migrant services due to no-bid contracts. The city comptroller is advocating for a procurement process. Adams defended the contracts, citing the urgency at the time. Because of our response, no child, no family sleeps on the streets of the City of New York.

Speaker 0: You don't have to be a behavioral scientist to state that we're creating a terrible environment. Speaker 1: Mayor Eric Adams says the city is installing metal detectors at the migrant shelter on Randall's Island, and he is planning a visit to the site after another fight broke out at the shelter Monday night. According to the NYPD, a 23 year old migrant struck a security guard in the face causing a scuffle. Two migrants were placed under arrest and charged, but this marks the third violent incident to occur at the shelter in just the last several months. Adams again renewed his call to the White House to give migrants faster access to work papers. Speaker 0: You place a thousand people in one setting and tell them they can't work. All they can do is sit around all day. Tempers flare. Speaker 1: Adams is also making it clear that he wants to make changes to the sanctuary city laws. Under mayor Ed Koch and mayor Michael Bloomberg, the NYPD was allowed to alert ICE when a migrant was accused or arrested for allegedly committing crimes. However, now migrants are only passed along to ICE if they've been convicted of a crime. Immigration advocates are staunchly against this change, and council speaker Adrian Adams says she has no plans of introducing anything like this legislatively. But Adams says migrants accused of committing multiple robberies should not be allowed to wait here while their case plays out. Speaker 0: They didn't give due process to the person that they shot or punched or killed. We can't have the small number of migrants and asylum seekers that have identified that they're going to be dangerous, hide under the law. Speaker 1: An audit by the city comptroller was also released on Tuesday that showed the city has been overcharged at times for migrant services due to the city procuring no bid contracts. Speaker 2: What we're calling for now, is to go through a procurement process that would make sure we get the most competitive price for all these services. Speaker 1: Adams defended the contracts on Tuesday, saying they did the best they could at the time when these contracts were inked. Speaker 0: Because of our response, no child, no family sleeps on the streets of the City of New York.
