For now …

Staten Island assisted living facility will turn into NYC migrant shelter,...
A possible sale of the site first broke last year.
For now …
You are absolutely wrong. What asylum conditions exist in Venezuela?
To qualify for asylum one must be able to demonstrate that they were persecuted or have a fear of persecution in their home country due to their: race, religion, nationality, social group, or political opinion.
How many of the millions of illegals who are here can attest to and prove that? The fact is, the vast majority of those who are here illegally and are claiming asylum (because they know the key code words) are here purely for economic and quality of existence reasons alone.
DougBH:
In 2020, 76 percent of asylum claims were rejected.
some do not prove their claims, that doesn’t mean they are fraudulent, just that they could not prove they deserved asylum.
By law, it doesn’t make any difference.
WuWei:
But not his apartment
not my responsibility to house anyone.
thats the govt job.
Maybe the government will put you on the street so they have a place to house them.
A possible sale of the site first broke last year.
Staten Island residents gathered Saturday in Midland Beach to speak up about transforming a former nursing home into a migrant shelter after it was closed.
A former paper factory in Long Island City that was converted into a four-star has quietly become the latest location being used by the Adams administration to house the swarm of asylum seekers.
The government’s job is not to provide housing.

No, I don’t need you to post some dumbass law NYers came up with to spend your tax money. I take it from your lack of objection, it was willingly. Sad
right wing compassion for the less fortunate is non existent.
i understand.
Yeah, meanwhile your lib city streets are overrun with homeless Americans. But by all means, keep inviting homeless illegals into your state.
Those are no longer just homeless illegals, they are also homeless undocumented Democratic voters.
more NIMBYIsm.
who would have guessed.
How many are you taking in Allan?

Too bad they don’t have the power to vote in NYC…
Don’t be so sure about that:

As to motivation, there is talk about getting the migrants work permits. With them, they can vote in New York municipal elections. Anyone see a pattern here? With the right to vote, migrants could vote for the politicians who promise to give them more stuff. And then there’s the possibility that laws would be changed so that migrants can vote in federal elections. Wouldn’t this ensure that Democrats stay in power?

unsure why you would want me to house people, something that is a government obligation.
its why people pay taxes.
its like you want me to fight in a war, when we have a military paid for by taxes.
That’s pretty much exactly what the Senators of Rome said right before their fall.

housing asylum seekers is not responsibility.
not sure why you think so.
Allan

Slip of the tongue or are you finally understanding the seriousness of it all?

He has already NIMBY’ed that question countless times on this board.
Eagle-Keeper:
The US has NO obligation to a bunch of phony asylum seekers.
some are legit.
Yes … Best estimate is about 5%.
Yes … Best estimate is about 5%.
And that 5% should wait in Mexico (or Colombia, or Panama) while we process their application.
Guvnah:
But for the sake of argument, even if you were not wrong, once they cross the border into Columbia, they have escaped their plight and should seek asylum there.
not necessary.
from a united states govt website.
To be eligible for asylum, you must be:
Inside the United States
Able to demonstrate that you were persecuted or have a fear of persecution in your home country due to your:
Race
Religion
Nationality
Social group
Political opinionthats it.
present yourself at a united states port of entry and apply for asylum.
There are no ports of entry that require hiring a Coyote to guide you across the desert, hiding in a secret compartment in a truck or wading across a river. NONE!
Samm:
Yes … Best estimate is about 5%.
And that 5% should wait in Mexico (or Colombia, or Panama) while we process their application.
And they can ALL wait there 5-10 years until their asylum claims can be legally adjudicated! There’s absolutely NOTHING in asylum law that says a country MUST ALLOW them into the country before that.

What asylum conditions exist in Venezuela?
from the cfr website.
“However, the U.S. State Department also has concerns regarding Maduro’s human rights record and the employment of armed gangs, known as colectivos, to suppress opposition. Armed groups also operate across the porous Colombia-Venezuela border, complicating efforts to bring peace and stability to Colombia. Finally, Venezuela’s isolation has pushed it to ally with other U.S.-sanctioned states like Cuba and Iran. “
