M/Hotels converted to "migrant" shelters set to rake in over $1B in taxpayer funds: internal docs
Hotels are set to easily rake in well over a billion dollars in taxpayer funds for turning their buildings into migrant shelters.
Of the 193 migrant shelters being used by the city to house 65,300 individuals, 153 — or nearly 80% — are hotels, motels or inns, according to an internal document obtained by The Post.
The city is spending, on average, $156 per hotel room to house migrants, state Comptroller Tom DiNapoli revealed in a May analysis, while some reportedly have banked more than $300 a night per room since migrants first began being bussed up from the southern border in spring 2022.

NYC's poorest zip codes forced to bear brunt of migrant crisis, confidential docs reveal
Some of the Big Apple’s poorest zip codes are being forced to bear the greatest brunt of the city’s migrant crisis — including a Queens neighborhood saddled with more shelters than any other part of the five boroughs, internal data kept from the public but obtained by The Post reveal.
Long Island City is home to a staggering 23 government-run migrant shelters — 12% of the 193 operating in New York City, according to data tallied off a confidential list of shelter sites used by city agencies.
“The city dropped a bomb on us,” said Queensbridge Houses resident Danny Beauford, whose 11101 zip code includes a 24th shelter in neighboring Astoria. “The [migrants] are taking over. They’re taking over all the parking with their 8,000 scooters. They’re disrespectful — peeing in front of everybody. We do that one time, and we’re going to jail for a long time.”
Why are ALL illegal aliens being strategically placed in poorest neighborhoods?
Laws permitting noncitizens to vote in the United States
This article covers noncitizen voting in the United States. It includes background information about the issue, language from federal law and state constitutions, details about the municipalities that allow noncitizen voting, and a list of states where it is prohibited.
According to the Pew Research Center, there were over 25 million people living in the U.S. in 2020 who were not U.S. citizens. This included approximately 12 million permanent residents living in the U.S. with legal permission, as well as 2 million temporary residents visiting the U.S. for a period of time as students, tourists, foreign workers, foreign officials, etc. Pew's figure also includes approximately 11 million immigrants living in the U.S. illegally.[1][2]
In 1996, the U.S. Congress passed a law prohibiting noncitizens from voting in federal elections, including elections for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and presidential elections. This law does not apply to elections for state and local offices. Click here to learn more about recent legal challenges involving noncitizen voting[3]
HIGHLIGHTS
As of June 2024, no state constitutions explicitly allowed noncitizens to vote in state or local elections.
Seven states explicitly prohibited noncitizen voting in state and local elections.
The District of Columbia and municipalities in three states allowed noncitizens to vote in local elections.
Six states approved ballot measures related to citizenship requirements for voting. Five states will have similar ballot measures in the 2024 elections.

I don't think it's to do with voting. The main reason is to suppress wages and artificially inflate housing values.
They want to eliminate the working & lower middle classes entirely and replace them with a slave caste while the wealthy loot whatever pittance remains to be stolen from lower class citizens.
It’s D) all of the above. Just as they’ve kept the black vote for how long, they’re seeing a shift. They need to replace them. Votes, money laundering schemes etc.

Out of sight, out of mind. Immigrants are always 'placed' in poorer, low economic indicies areas. Been ongoing in UK and Europe for decades. So what if it leads to ghettoisation, no go areas and possible growth of Sharia. Doesn't really affect the decision makers and assorted toffs who economically benefit.
The 'shelters' are cheap to buy and probably have been snapped up by govt buddies. Returns/yields are high, far higher than ordinary rental market investments. Total gravy train.
Extra voters probably just icing.
In April, 37,370 people crossed illegally in the San Diego sector and surrendered to the Border Patrol to claim asylum. The highest total that month in Texas was 30,393 at the El Paso sector.
After being dropped off at the Iris Avenue Transit Center, many of the migrants head to the San Diego International Airport or find shelter provided by churches or nonprofit organizations in the San Diego area.
The backlog stems from a change made two months after President Joe Biden took office, when Border Patrol agents began now-defunct practice of quickly releasing immigrants on parole. They were given instructions to report to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement office at their final destination to be processed for court — work previously done by the Border Patrol.
The change prevented the kind of massive overcrowding of holding cells in 2019, when some migrants stood on toilets for room to breathe. But the cost became evident as ICE officers tasked with issuing court papers couldn’t keep pace.
Until then, the migrants in question won’t even get an initial court appearance on the books, though they can live and work in the U.S. After that, their case will work its way through the U.S. immigrant courts — a process that takes about four years amid a backlog that reached 2.1 million cases in January, up from about 600,000 in 2017.

Let's not forget who tend to run "non-profit' organizations, democrats. All the illegals need food, housing, and assistance in navigating the system. Helps get the heads of those organizations big $$ and NYC has been awarding many their paydays with no- bid contracts. So look at who profits to start figuring out what ismgoing on.
From the local to the state and federal level, Americans are paying a hefty price for the humanitarian crisis at the southern border, and in a way, the federal government is able to hide the true cost of the border crisis from the public through NGOs.
The majority of migrants arriving in cities like New York or smaller towns across America, do so with the help of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) — organizations like charities or religiously affiliated nonprofits.

Your premise is flawed, taxpayer money doesn't need to be laundered, the source is already known.
Now, if they are laundering billions from illegal sources then the taxpayer has nothing to complain about, it isn't their money.
Also, I thought the voting machines were rigged, or the dead were voting, more than once, or counterfeit ballots were printed, so why would you need import illegals if the race is already rigged?

Tax money gets laundered by salaries and services paid for by NGOs, and then circles back into Campaign funds. Easy right. 😀
