The Roosevelt Hotel, owned by Pakistani and International Air, is still operating despite Mayor Adams' reported intention to close it in June. The hotel closed in 2020, but New York City leased it from the Pakistani company at $575,000 a night, or $200 per room, due to the migrant crisis.
At its peak, the hotel housed over 3,000 migrants, costing $4,000,000 a week, or $16,000,000 a month. New York City taxpayers have been paying this amount for the past three and a half years to house undocumented immigrants. The speaker claims New York City has spent billions of dollars funding this crisis and suggests the open border policy is the cause. They state Obama deported over 3,200,000 people, while Donald Trump deported around 175,000. The speaker concludes that the crisis and the housing of migrants in hotels at taxpayer expense would not be happening without open borders.
