[b]CRISIS IN NEW YORK: 94-year-old vet struggles to move on after nursing home evicts him, replaced by migrants[/b]

When he was evicted from Island Shores, the 94-year-old had difficulty finding a new assisted living facility that suited his needs.

In the end, Annunziata moved her father into her home in Midland Beach, New York, where she cares for him around the clock.

"I can't leave him home alone. … I raised my kids already. They’re all grown up," she said. "I mean, he’s a piece of cake, but still he’s 94 years old."

In August, Tammaro found out along with the rest of the community that Homes for the Homeless had made an arrangement with city hall to move migrants into Island Shores.

The facility was one of 200 buildings converted into emergency shelters to house some of the 130,000 migrants that landed in New York City after crossing the southern border since October 2022.[/quote]

Our recent flight to Houston had many migrants, presumably with government paid tickets to go with the folders of government paperwork they were all holding. So many had colds etc. Two reeked, literally smelled like they hadn't showered in weeks as they passed by the aisle. I felt horrible for them and the people they would be sitting next to. Some were in shower shoes, inappropriate for the weather. I know it sounds small, but there are a lot of assumptions being made by the government here about how to handle the migration crisis and treat citizens and documented residents fairly (like this guy above). At least screen people for sickness, offer them showers and a change of clothes, or charter flights rather than pass them off onto airlines full of paying residents during the holiday season. OR, disincentivize irregular migration (there's a thought). How is this sustainable?[/quote]

Yes, why doesn’t Congress overhaul immigration?![/quote]

Idk. It was absolutely shocking to me that a third of the United Airlines flight was undocumented immigrants - singles and families - on the government (my) dime. Visiting the SW United States was an eye opener. Release and transfer to ... Wherever.... I'm glad that NY is reeling over this - we East Coasters need to wake up to this crisis.[/quote]
