Biden is busing them directly from Westchester airport to the shelters in NYC.

Those who arrive by other means can demand shelter.

I don't know about other cities, but NYC is required by state law, to provide shelter for them. Since the shelters are nearly full, the city will rent additional expensive hotel rooms for them at taxpayer expense.

This is what the people voted for.

Mayor Adams: "Okay, well, and the commissioner would say this, but let me tell you this. We are not allowed to say we don't have room. We're not allowed to say that. Right to shelter means we have to keep expanding and be creative in our expansion. That means if we have to get hotel rooms, we get hotel rooms. If that means that we have to find other spaces, we'll find other spaces. There's no such thing as this state saying, "We're turning you away." We're going to have to keep expanding based on the needs, and we're going to have to keep finding the funding based on the needs."


You prefer people not to get what they voted for?

Oh so the broke immigrants streaming across the border are starving on the street? Naw they must have had a few ounces of gold hidden in a body orfice.

Suspect allegedly lured 18-year-old to New York, forced her into prostitution

Quote:
The man had offered to fund a bus ride to New York, where he said he would help her start nude modeling on video.


I really wonder what is with some of these young girls. If you watch "Hot Girls Wanted" it shows how they show up to film porn videos, hoping to be the breakout star. And while I feel sorry for this one, part of me wants to ask her what was she thinking when she accepted this offer? We are not talking about a guy who said he needed tons of waitresses at his restaurant with good tips or some other legit job. That is how they got the prostitutes in the real life Gem Saloon shown on the show "Deadwood."

Lies and lure of easy money. Teens don't have enough experience with scammers. Still want to give some benefit of the doubt even if they think something is wrong.

Had to watch this to confirm that they aren't going to show it. Maybe some people are ok with 'pixeled out'

next time you can just post text about what happened

There's unpixellated picture of a giant rabbit in the random thread if you need something shocking.

I am limited on what I can give her. This is like the stories on “Locked Up Abroad.” On that show half or more the people in trouble are there because they were lazy. Her story is similar.

oh yeah, I meant she was still young enough that she wanted to believe rather than go with any sense of doubt she might have had with more experience to avoid that character.

I saw the uncensored video on Twitter when it happened. He definitely was not cut in half. I think he survived.
