As opposed to the families they're making room for hence why he was moved to the Brooklyn terminal? Fuck off Kennedy Gonzalez. He got a roof over his head, food in his belly and they're pushing through work permits soon even after he broke the law to come here. Like the fucking entitlement

Unfortunately, 3 years from now when the courts finally get to his asylum hearing and mark him for deportation, this fucker will go on social media and talk about the life he has built here and the woke/progressives will eat it all up.

So you're an economic migrant who otherwise doesn't have a valid asylum claim.

Thanks for putting that on the record, Kenny.

They come here and get hotels. Yet homeless citizens get thrown into shelters. This country is a 3rd world shitstain.

Exactly why this migrant situation gets me so upset. If New York was in a better place, like it was in 2018/2019, I wouldn’t care as much. But it’s just adding to problems at this point.

When the government finally gave back to us, the citizens, with stimulus checks they countered it by inflation & taxes.
