5 months in a hotel for free? That's nuts. Now this woman will give birth for free, and that baby will get benefits.
AHOLE MAYOR
GET THEM OUT
I DONT UNDERSTAND YOUR LANGUAGE
BVDVBKDJBVJKBVKSDBLJSDB
SEAK ENGLISH ILLEGALS INUSA
GO HOME😠
that's her anchor. She will never leave
that baby is her food ticket and her way to a green card in 20 years
You dare come here pregnant and expect taxpayers to feel sorry and take care of you. Who in the hell do you people think you are. As a taxpayer I owe you nothing
They are all already pregnant or are about to be. Housing in NYC will skyrocket because there isn't enough afordable available apts for everyone on top of these new arrivals.
People will start turning on each other.
After losing my job post-9/11, I received no support from NYC. I faced homelessness, surviving on $146.00 monthly food stamps for my 3-year-old son and myself. It felt like nobody cared, especially when I see immigrants now granted more rights, enjoying 60 days in a hotel with food assistance.
Very sad. These criminals have all rights. We do not have any.
shut up and get back to work those migrants are counting on your tax dollars
It's shameful and I'm sorry that you had to go through that.
I support Americans first and America first!
These foreign nationals need to be bussed back to the port of entry. Mass deportations!
They’re not criminals, Jesus. They’re needy. That said, I’m sorry you’ve been less than cared for bronxtaskforce, I understand your plight. It sucks.
The federal Government should take over some of those Manhattan high rise buildings they can hold lots of people and load them up with the many thousands who need shelter , giving money away to hotels is a waste and very expensive , President Biden causing so much suffering all around the country I hope he gets voted out of office.
"We need a room tonight!".....Americans need our country back tonight!
Yes Now. .We need our country back Now
NO! Stop using tax payers money already!!
I am quite sure you voted for this administration as most black people does so deal with all the chaos coming this is nothing yet.
@juniorhector9582 Who are you talking too? I'm a Republican. So hush. Say something else.
@@juniorhector9582
Nobody voted for this.
Dominion gave brandon the vote.
He can't fill a public library.
Good for them. Go back home. Support veterans
They need to do away with anchor baby laws. The child should be a citizen of the country the parents are from.
Maybe, the evangelicals can promote birth control free.
exactly.
They Wouldn't Take It Anyway. Most of these INVADERS are Catholic and Don't Believe in BIRTH CONTROL!!
YUP this Country is a sucka.. and they make the Hard Work PPL of it foot the BILL for all this stoopid $#!+ laws they make. Great job AmericA.
Then it ends up applying to everyone...
It's like common sense. If you can't afford to have a kid, don't have them. They are expecting taxpayers to continue paying for their stay at this hotel?
Birth control and basic vaccines should be offered to people crossing.
But you see, they Don't Have any Common Sense!! Uneducated, Ignorant and Filthy!! And Yes, YOU will be paying for their keep!! Were you a Biden Voter?? If Yes, then ENJOY YOUR NEW NEIGHBORS!!!
@@CC-in1jyThose are available. NYC is vaccinating them and their children free of cost. Plus condoms are available for free in any clinic/hospital.
As a 67 yo, these days 50% of the population should never be parents. There needs to be world wide limits on how many children each person is allowed to have in their lifetime, if at all.
@@lesliemoore1656the intelligent humans are too smart to reproduce irresponsibly. Only the uneducated are having children, hence why society is the way it is today.
Why are they having a child and have no home ?
Having a child is the way to get a home. A baby born here gives them automatic citizenship, with all benefits.
@@jennifersmall4027 true but we have our own people that are Americans that need help to with affordable housing it’s not fair to them. It should be illegal to claim citizenship just because you have a child in this country.
Our own people voted for this 🤷🏽♀️@@madelinevegas8123
Because they know they
can get away with it.
Why are people making $5 a month having unprotected sex? What sense does that make? You claim your country is terrible and you desperately need asylum, yet you get pregnant? That should automatically disqualify you if anything, I’m sorry. They should have to go back to Mexico and they kid should be given Mexican citizenship, not American.
Who gives a crap
They are costing the taxpayers millions and millions of dollars. I would care.
If it is so hard, why did she get pregnant.
Did they get free hotel lodging while making their way up the the US border??
It’s called an anchor baby. If she gives birth on US soil then her baby and herself get citizenship. This is planned so she cannot be kicked out of the country.
Automatic citizenship, medical expenses paid here.
Exactly. If their country was so dangerous and poor why bring a child into it?
@@Emmy-JI can’t imagine making babies while in such danger.
Five months, two working age adults and still can't care for themselves and now there will be a baby... they're never leaving that hotel.
Go home
So we are supposed to just take care of illegal immigrants indefinitely?????
Birthright citizenship MUST stop. It is must illegal to came to any country and demand citizenship. Go home and get a baby, not anyone problem.
No absolutly not, the people of the United States are more then welcome to stop taking care of this illegal inmigrants at any giving time!! Who is Obligating y'all, Human rights? please what a joke.
🤣How Intelligent of Illegals to be con artist (Use the wisdom to your damn countries) and have babies they afford (child abuse)Latín Countries have the highest Uneducation and CRIME rates, such as murder and robbery, than any other countries! Except for rape because they're too promiscuous!👍
OMG, truly unfuckingbelievable
Yes and very very sickening
@@shirleypoplo-ej7lz They are taking the proverbial piss, of your generosity
Free, Free Free we want everything for Free
The kids, we can't put them out streets. On the other hand, "We need a room, tonight," sounds more like a demand than a plea for help. Looks like they intentionally planned to have that child delivered in the US.
Really he is making demands.
Obviously planned it, and they will plan many more to come.
Exactly! Send their sorry asses back to their own country! Baby or no baby! Too damn bad! It is NOT the problem of America!!!!
Once the migrants cross the border, they say the American government will pay for all their needs. If NYC doesn't even evict single men, the city is truly in trouble. Meantime, the women know that once they have a baby, they can stay here for good, all expenses paid.
Smart Little Critters Aren't They?? These "INVADERS" Have it All Figured Out!! Too Bad You "New Yorkers" Aren't That Smart. If You Had any Brains at all, you would of NEVER VOTED FOR BRAINLESS BIDEN!! ENJOY YOUR NEW NEIGHBOORS!!
I say deport the main stream media too fed up with the propaganda
Right, and that first woman is pregnant. They know what they're doing.
If you make a child, it is YOUR responsibility to care for it, not anyone else's!!!!!

And why is a j who o star on my dollar bill?
26 & 39 years old with a baby on the way - and you can't organize anything without demanding another country speak your language or provide a translator? 60 days notice and all you have to say is "we need a room, tonight"? God help that poor baby.
Comes here with a pregnant wife and no money at 39? We are definitely getting the lowest of the low. And to demand a place WTH
They can get a free plane ticket out of NYC to anywhere in the world. They have time to go home but why would they? The subsidized medical care is here.
Thats baby will be alright. 😂 If you havent notice. She is in a special class of people and the legal Hispanics and officials in NYC amd city council will look out for them. 😂 thats why they are on the Mayor's ass and he can't do away with sanctuary city status.
Anchor baby must not have any privileges'. Go home with mama and papa.
@@Emmy-J To be fair, the average salary in Venezuela is $3.68 a month
Where are the activists? Why aren’t they opening their doors for these “trafficking victims”?

Oh well, I never invited anyone here
agree
you need a door to open...
Honestly what kind of information are they looking for? They are here 5 months already and still don’t speak the language, have no job, no place to live…. What’s the plan people?!
keep your mouth shut and get back to work Maria, David and the new baby need your tax dollars..
free stuff for life. sicking .

I agree it's "complicado" to be 8 months pregnant and homeless in a foreign country, but it can be uncomplicated very quickly by returning to your home country where your family and support system are.
That baby will be getting citizenship because it's going to be born in NYC btw. Remember the anchor baybie controversy from 2016? 👀

DEMS love creating issues that they can investigate. It should be mandatory that every DEM house a family.
I'm fine with that. So the Republicans have to adopt at least 5 children and bring them to adult age because you banned abortions.
It will be extremely helpful! Manhattan has lots of empty apartments that belong to democrats..
Just here for the welfare. we're becoming a welfare country. as a taxpayer I'm sick of paying for all this s***
Comptroller is investigating why the illegals are not allowed to stay in luxury hotel longer. I guess the comptroller is the one that needed to be investigated.
Perhaps he should pay back all the wasted tax dollars from his own paycheck to all the tax payers.
🤔🧐How the heck did they manage to dress in designer clothes and handbags? Where are they getting all that money 🤑🤑🤑 💰💰💰 from???? Something very shady is going on with all these people!
lol go shopping, so many asylum seekers with carts full of stuff while working Americans have a few items in hand. It’s crazy. I’ve heard some refuse work permits because the. They don’t get free housing and would have to use their stipend to pay for housing.
Gov. Abbott is a boss! I remember when Biden said "there's no crisis at the border" or when Mayor Adams said N.Y. was a sanctuary city all are welcome. Elections have consequences. I would rather read mean Trump tweets all day everyday. 😂😂😂😂
Abbott is a wef official along with klaus shwab.
You are rooting for your own destruction.
If the Wife can't work it's her husband's responsibility to provide for her not anyone or everyone else.
When my Grandparents came to this country they had a little money on them that they earned in their homeland before coming to this country. They rented an apartment, went job hunting, got menial jobs and supported themselves.
No free hotels, free meals, free health insurance, free clothes or free spending money.
So did about half of my
ancestors .... They did
not expect the US
taxpayers to support
them! The other half
got here on the Mayflower
(1620) and carved a
farm out of the wilderness
and a life where their own
society was not present.
The second and third+ sons
always moved west to have
their own farm; living on the
frontier.
he certainly worked making that anchor baby
So did mine.
My great grandparents worked very hard and opened their own store when they came to this country. In their later years they decided to go back to Italy but while they were here they were contributing members of society and took no handouts.
@@EM-mw2qr
Back then retiring to a place with a
low cost of living (Italy etc.) was
a good option. Now? ... Not so sure.
Let's see what happens.
Why came to a country pregnant and nowhere to stay absolutely ridiculous 😮
Because our government brought them here to replace us.
When you get to live in a hotel for free, it makes a ton of sense
They will get a voucher while working people don’t qualify for any benefits.
Exactly!
Give these poor people a room. Tonight! In Venezuela.
No American would be treated that well.
I have an idea. Whoever voted for Biden should take the illegal immigrants in. I think they owe that to Biden.
Wonder how they bought all those clothes 😅
You cannot do this anywhere in the world. It's so f n ludicrous.
so what they expect to live forever expecting us to support them? No I don't think so, it's not right for them to expect us to live for free at our expense? No im sorry not acceptable they were all given enough time to look for where they will live, work and so on. And yes I know it's hard to get an apartment and a job now but guess what? they knew this before entering the USA.
They only want to be in the heart of Manhattan. They complain about free housing outside of nyc.
Free rent. Spoiled
you should help them instead of just complaining about it? They're from venijuela a war torn country. You just can't treat them inhumanly.
I'm an immigrant myself but me and my family had to go through a process to earn the privilege to come here and no one helped us. All these people are taking advantage that thw system is corrupted and being run by a bunch of idiots who don't care of the rest of us hard working tax paying people. I'm sorry their country is a mess but by them all coming with no specific guidelines and protocols and living off thw rest of us is not right. Plus now with this mess we have budget cuts and this city is going to become less safe, more expensive and more congested then ever and that is just unjust. THATS MY OPINION.
What's cruel is how they are pushing aside our own to take care of someone who came here illegally. Who will fight for our homeless who are pregnant and never had a chance to sleep in a five star hotel for one night? Our veterans who fought for this country and have no place to sleep where do they go? Can they go to a five star hotel and stay for five months?😢😢😢😢
Took the words right out of the mouth. Why wasn't it cruel to kick out Veterans, elderly and take space from our children's education and future.?
And the mentally ill AMERICANS living on the streets. Truly, appalling and treasonous!
Well stated!
*WHY ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS NOT BEING GIVEN PRIORITY FOR SHELTER ???*
Cruelty.. this is cruelty to the people of NY! Get them out, bring your baby too.
We all saw this one coming
I can't even afford to stay a NYC luxury hotel and I pay taxes!!!
terrible to put them families out in the cold but they were all in warm places and decided to illegally cross the border during winter…
Can you blame them? They’re being afforded more luxuries than our own American citizens. FJB
Hot plates in hotel rooms, making unlicensed street food to sell, causing fire hazards…
don't eat it
Maria and David are going to have an anchor baby. They'll be straight because the baby will be an American citizen and eligible for public benefit (welfare TANF) including housing.
And, the baby in 5 years will become a parentified child, who will be the interpreter and have to manage all of the family's affairs.
That's their plan.
I feel bad for the baby
😂😂😂 yep that's what you see today
They can still be deported with their bundle of joy.
They are staying for free plus the use wic and the food stamps to buy sodas and beer
No alcohol with WIC/EBT
When you’re on food stamps (the new name is snap benefits) you’re provided cash money for things snap benefits don’t cover. Aka sodas and beer……
the baby helps to get paperwork ... nice trick woman ..
Nice swanky NYC hotel. No one I know can afford that place but ironically we are all paying for it. True Bizarro World.
Many of those people have been in those shelters for a year or more. Its not like they didn't give them enough time to get themselves together. They just can't get livable wage jobs to support themselves and all their kids. Who didn't see this coming. Probably wouldn't be this problem if they spoke English or just stayed home
Exactly. People who make $80k a year can’t even afford to live in manhattan
wasn;t there a stipend
The bed bug infestation has got to be just disgusting in those hotels. 😢 😢
😂😂😂😂😂
Airplanes, taxi cabs,
trains .... Yep!
imagine the homeless with diseases etc that stayed on the $1,000s of dollars mattresses lol
These hotels will definitely have to e fumigated, but why bother? When one group of illegals move on, they're immediately replaced by another.
It's hopeless.
@@AnonymousanonymousA i promise you those mattresses are uncomfortable and cheap … i stayed at the row when it was just a regular hotel
Awful I am a veteran and I lived in my car never ever had the luxury of being in a 5 star hotel free for 5 months. Who is running this country ?
Is this truly happening in a santuary city? How ironic!
I've lived in NY my whole life, and I've never been to stay at any of these luxury hotels as it's expensive for just 1 night, and i don't have it like that. It's amazing what my tax dollars as a hard-working tax paying citizen is paying for.
The 26 year old knew what she was doing. That grin is all we need to know.
If they were really worried about looking for a place to stay and settling in, she and husband wouldn't have the time to make babies yet.
Correct. She looks healthy and happy, with no worries.
Only in America where leaders are SO foolish! No country in the world gives anyone a room for free.
“It’s complicated 😀” This is nothing to laugh or smile about. I’d be losing my mind if I were 8mo pregnant w/ no home, job, or money!!!!
What has she got to loose?
She’s not in any distress- she knows she will have everything paid for by working Americans! They are nothing but opportunistic criminals!
Invite/welcome them into your humble abode then Paige.
Now they will start criminal activities. LOCK YOUR DOORS!
If it was so dangerous why would a pregnant woman come hear 🙉 don't feel sorry for them I feel sorry for our Vets and our poor and everything hear is free for them
Weirdly, she wasn't pregnant until she got here. LOL!!! Send them home.
Must send all pregnant crazy back.
@@GregLakatosChradm
ASAP -- Before she has
the kid ("Anchor baby")
So she got pregnant as soon she came in to the country for the child existence is for monthly checks and nothing else it will be raised by the streets while the mother will collect the money maybe even put it on SSI for bonus checks.
Honestly believe birthright citizenship should be modify for stuff like this
"We need a room...tonight!". Hmm, why is it now our problem that this 26 year old grown woman is 8 months pregnant? What have they both been doing for the past several months to find alternate housing? Surely they realized this was a helping hand that would be given on a *temporary* basis? C'mon!
SEND MIGRANTS TO THE WHITE HOUSE DC
Sixty days is enough time to make a back up plan it also guarantees available room for new arrivals
They must find their own place if they want to live in this country. This is not cruelty. They must know they cannot live in the hotel rest of their lives.
Agreed. Free rent for non taxpayers is unacceptable
Plus. Free everything
We don't owe them anything ,but we do the vets
New York, so what is a sanctuary city? What is a woman?
Its yo mama. Pastor geno Jenkins
Maybe they need to offer tickets back home when they get evicted from shelters. Vacation is over, go back home now.
I've never stayed at a Luxury Hotel....for FREE!
I’ve never stayed at a luxury hotel, why? Because I can not afford it. PS I’m a tax paying citizen!
FJB
I guess they know now how the homeless US vets feel
Exactly. What goes around comes around.
5 months in a hotel!!
Can someone remind me what they are seeking asylum from?
Hmm ... Venezuela.
They had the chance to
apply for asylum in every
country between the
USA and Venezuela.
They are illegally arrived
Economic migrants.

@@olivekatz9139 I’ve asked this question in every migrant video I’ve watched and literally no one knows. This is a disaster.
Not a damn thing
She says, "Its complicated," with a laugh.
He says, "We need a room."
Its not complicated at all. We know exactly how you got pregnant, you already "got a room," now you need a return ticket. Which NYC has very generously offered.
I need a house tonight as well!
Hard to believe people have to wait years to come here legally
Where was controller when this 60 day mandated. I live in another state and I heard about the mayor have to make room for new migrants. And I love how everyone cares about migrants families. When did they ever show this much concerned and money nyc native homeless and their children . When will anyone do stories about how native homeless people are faring with their situation when they have to compete for the same reasons and I highly doubt only homeless are migrants in NYC.
Hotels are not shelters. So...what are they expecting, indefinite stay at a luxury hotel? She's pregnant and her husband has no prospects for an income. I guess taxpayers are footing the bill again. Not being insensitive, just seeing the situation realistically.
He should feel less than a man. His audacity is off the chain. 😂
Stop miss informing New Yorkers
These people have been there for over a year. They re joining many natives here that travel sometimes HOURS to take their children' to a good school and to work.
When you're staying at a hotel you
CHECK OUT. Time to put them through the system like many people have. Enough is enough.
USA can not assign them
a place to stay and force
them to stay there.
All of them want to live
with their own kind, even
if that means living on
the dole in NYC vs.
living in someplace
like small-town Indiana
and being a dishwasher
at the local diner.
(Where they probably
would not be welcome
anyhow)
I'm honestly surprised the city went through with it after years of saying they would do it
So this woman will give birth in a nyc hospital with zero cost for her or her child’s care? If yes, is this a possibility for an American woman? Genuine question as I’m not from the US. I thought people still have to pay towards their child birth costs, even if they have insurance.
You have to be an illegal alien to get those kinds of US benefits. US voters didn't want to put US citizens first, so they voted for Democrats.
Americans would have to pay the hospital for child birth
No having a baby is very expensive unless you are very poor. Gynecologist are one of the top five most paid doctors in the US
@@brookyogini6625 So this woman would get it for free but Americans have to pay?
The US anchor baby would have all medical expenses paid by the US taxpayers. If she is deported back to her country ,the US taxpayers are not responsible.
She has a brand new iPhone and new nails on. Are you fricken serious. What freeloaders
Theres gotta be someway to send people back if they can’t find a place to stay idc if they have families they don’t belong here getting all theses benefits for free while some Americans are hurting in general this is not right at all
That shelter in NYC at
the old/disused St.
Bridget's school offers
them free tickets home.
But, unless they are
convicted of a crime (such
as entering the country
illegally) they can not be
forced onto a plane.
That is why people, including
Trump, have been saying
CLOSE THE BORDER!
If they cannot support themselves after the assistance expires, they should be offered a return trip home where they have more family support.
Biden needs to lift sanctions so these people don’t have to flee in the first place.
Sounds like NYC could use more motivation from border states.
00:36 who will end their day,who knows where?"
Well too damn bad
It would be nice if they investigate the hotels throwing out veterans for the migrants.
*There's plenty of room in the Hudson and Atlantic*
No investigation is needed, no city in America can handle 150,000 migrants arriving over a few months.
Is that right? That’s not what the mayor was saying a few months ago when he proclaimed NYC a sanctuary city.
You got what you voted for! Enjoy it 🎉🎉🎉
This is what voters wanted they are more moral than the rest of us 🎉
ARE YOU INVESTIGATING HOMELESS AMERICANS ON THE STREET TO HELP US??? WE WILL NOT ALLOW THIS NONSENSE ANYMORE
There are pregnant women (Natural Born American Citizens) on the streets right now that need a hotel room stay. America should be ashamed of itself helping these people before your own!
Why Biden, Kamala, Eric Adams, or AOC or Democratic are not lined up to take in these families to there house! Why! I thought AOC cried for them! What happened! Was the crying fake?
How do they have nicer luggage than I do?
5 month free stay while pregnant? WTF?!?! Did America forget about its own citizens?
I would just go back home to my country. I wouldn't want to deal with this and the horrible cold weather.
I feel bad for the migrants, I truly do. But even American citizens don't get to live in luxury hotels on the taxpayers' dime. If you've been here for 5 months and still don't have a job, why should people who do have to keep paying for your housing?
