Homeless vets are being booted from NY hotels to make room for migrants:

By Bernadette Hogan and Kate Sheehy May 12, 2023 7:11pm Updated More On: migrants

Nearly two dozen struggling homeless veterans have been booted from upstate hotels to make room for migrants, says a nonprofit group that works with the vets. The ex-military — including a 24-year-old man in desperate need of help after serving in Afghanistan — were told by the hotels at the beginning of the week that their temporary housing was getting pulled out from under them at the establishments and that they’d have to move on to another spot, according to the group and a sickened local pol.

“Our veterans have been placed in another hotel due to what’s going on with the immigrants,’’ said Sharon Toney-Finch, the CEO of the Yerik Israel Toney Foundation. Toney-Finch, a disabled military veteran, created YIT to raise awareness of premature births, as well as helping the homeless and low-income military service veterans in need of living assistance. “One of the vets called me on Sunday,’’ she said. “He told me he had to leave because the hotel said the extended stay is not available. Then I got another call. “We didn’t waste any time,’’ the advocate said. “That’s when we started on Monday to organize when and where to move them all. “I am glad you called me today,’’ she told The Post. “Last night, I was crying.”

That's disgusting....
 
Many ex-military members including a 24-year-old man in desperate need of help after serving in Afghanistan — were told by the hotels at the beginning of the week that their temporary housing was getting pulled out from under them.

“A lot of them are Vietnam veterans. We do help them on a constant basis to get them benefits and help them find a place in society.”

State Assemblyman Brian Maher, a Republican who helps rep Orange County, said, “Shining a light on this is important because we need to make sure these hotels know how important it is to respect the service of our veterans before they kick [them] out of hotels to make room.”

“They really ought to think about the impact on these people already going through a traumatic time,’’ he told The Post.

“Whether you agree with asylum-seekers being here or not, we can’t just ignore these veterans that are in our charge that we are supposed to protect: the New Yorkers and Americans.”

“We need to put them first.”

Toney-Finch said she believes it all comes down to money.

“They want to get paid’’ more, she said of the hotels, referring to what her group shells out to get the vets housing compared to what the city is paying for each migrant.

“That’s so unfair, because at the end of the day, we are a small nonprofit, and we do pay $88 a day for a veteran to be there,” she said.

While it’s unclear what the city is paying upstate, various reported deals between the Big Apple and Manhattan hotels have called for payments such as $190 a night — part of an estimated $4.3 billion migrant price tag for taxpayers through spring 2024.

Adams began bussing migrants flooding the city to The Crossroads on Thursday — hours before a key federal immigration-rule change was set to take effect and feared to increase the influx even more.

Hizzoner’s move spurred a vicious war of words between Adams and officials in Orange and neighboring Rockland County, where the mayor also has threatened to bus migrants — till a lawsuit at least temporarily blocked the move.

Maher said it’s outrageous that veterans are getting caught in the crossfire of the migrant crisis.

“For these people only being there a few weeks, then to be told after having a level of trust developed, ‘Hey, you have to get out,’ That’s not right,’’ he said.

Indeed it is disgusting.

The Biden administration is putting illegals who break our immigration laws ahead of veterans who fought for this country.

The Democrats and those who voted for this traitor in the White House should be ashamed.

Votes ahead of American veterans.

The only good thing about this is that people are waking up to the real picture...the veterans aren't the only ones being kicked out and losing benefits, services, and basic safety to illegals....

This should be tattooed across the foreheads of every far left loon who voted for this abomination in the White House:

Veterans… “We need to put them first.”

Look how that Bragg democrat in N.Y.C. quickly charged that Marine Penny with something like 2nd degree manslaughter for heroically stepping in to stop that criminal from harming anyone on that subway. Biden is also responsible for the deaths of those 13 soldiers in Afghan. The dems couldn't give a shit about our veterans or or current military personnel.

I'm so angry about Daniel Penny being charged... I certainly hope that complete travesty is resolved as the case goes forward... no one will ever forgive Joe for the deaths of the 13 soldiers in Afghanistan... another complete screw up on his part..
 
When an illegal commits a crime in America…a death caused by a drunk driver, an assault, robbery, rape or murder, Biden’s open borders and sanctuary cities are directly responsible.

Google “crimes committed by illegals” to see what Biden and the Democrats have done to America.
 
Drag queens in the military. Kicking needy homeless veterans to the curb. Prosecuting Good Samaritan marines. The left HATES the military.

Exactly what did he do besides talk loudly? I have not heard of any aggressive behavior towards other passengers.

Republicans want to cut Veterans programs by 22%. Will that help veterans?
 
In a statement, attorneys for Penny offered "condolences to those close to Mr. Neely" and claimed, "Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel," and that the Marine and others "acted to protect themselves."
 
It's telling that the far left Democratic Socialists support:

Homeless vets are being booted from NY hotels to make room for migrants and prosecuting a Marine veteran who was protecting himself and the passengers on a subway in N.Y.C.
