Blue city residents blast new 2,200-bed mega migrant shelter as 'dumping ground'
|
To be fair, having all the illegals in one central location makes it much easier for ICE to round them up and send them home… Oh, and guys — make sure you vote for the Republicans in the next couple of elections, or this will keep happening to you. | [FoxNews] Bronx residents vented during a heated community board meeting, during which the mayor’s office said the taxpayer-funded mega shelter is set to open next month
Furious New York City residents expressed their anger Monday after learning they were powerless to stop a massive 2,200 male-only migrant shelter from opening in their neighborhood, raising concerns that the new facility will make their community less safe, especially for women.
Animated residents vented their fury during a heated Bronx community board meeting, during which the mayor’s office told them the taxpayer-funded mega shelter will open next month at a 275,000-square-foot former warehouse, according to Fox 5.
The building will be retrofitted for between $250,000 and $340,000 in order to cater to the migrants, many of whom will be transferred from the sprawling migrant tent shelter on Randalls Island, according to the New York Post, citing city records.
However, residents say they are frightened about the prospect of such a large influx of migrant men being housed in the community.
"I have young women who come to me to study. I have never been afraid in the South Bronx, I am now terrified," Judy Kudlow, an artist who said she operates an art school directly across from the building said. "I'm terrified for me, for my students. I will have to move… You have made a terrible mistake."
Another woman slammed the situation, saying that New Yorkers are living on the streets while migrants are being catered to in these types of facilities as well as hotels.
Community board member Audrey Dejesus said she empathized with the migrants but feels residents' concerns are not being heard.
"I understand people need a place to be, and it's getting cold and everything in the future, but we feel like it's a dumping ground," Dejesus told Fox 5. "We getting the jail right across the street, and now we're going to get a 2,200 bed for homeless men. No. Think about women and families first."
