Residents in suburban Rockland County blasted New York City’s plan to send busloads of migrants into their community Monday.
Monday – as one town leader took action against the hotel where the asylum seekers are expected to stay.to bus hundreds of adult male migrants to the quiet bedroom community about an hour north of the city.
“We’re scared. It’s going to lower our quality of life. I work in Manhattan and I’m not saying all migrants are dangerous, but I know the ones that house all these single men, and as a female it’s really difficult to walk past them without getting heckled,” one woman, who is a nurse and lives near the hotel, told The Post, insisting she plans on buying new locks for her home.
Rockland County Executive Ed Day declared a state of emergency to prevent migrants from being brought to his county.“You don’t know what you’re getting. This is an unvetted group of men without any paperwork to their name, people with a blank slate,” she said. According to the violation notice posted online, a hotel worker told town officials that employees were told they had to replace queen-sized beds with two twin beds in as many as 70 rooms.
The Adams administration previously announced that it intended to bus migrants to hotels it leased in Orangeburg and Lake Orange.The town is also planning to file a request for a temporary restraining order in court against the “anticipated use” of the hotel as a shelter “in light of what we’ve been told,” she said.
