“The agreement is between the New York City Department of Homeless Services and the Hotel Association for as much as $55,000 per migrant”

I’d gladly take 220K for two migrants to take over my apartment for a year while I use that as a down payment for a house.

I'm not sure I could fully commit to the offensive accent looking like a tall white man.

Maybe we should just send them back and not pay for luxury suites.

Welcome to politics where citizens get screwed.

It's your money paying for this and you voted for it.

Contractors that are buddies with the politicians are probably pocketing most of it
