This story is BS by the way. It's a hoax.

"A sensational story about hotels in upstate New York throwing out homeless veterans to make room for migrants bused from New York City turned out to be false, according to a local news outlet.

New York state lawmaker Brian Maher (R) told The Times-Union the story was false after he had a conversation with Sharon Toney-Finch, the CEO of Orange County nonprofit Yerik Israel Toney Foundation."

"Toney-Finch made the original claim about the homeless veterans thrown out of the hotel rooms, setting off a media frenzy this week that was scooped up by conservative outlets Fox News and the New York Post.

But under pressure from Maher to provide evidence, she unraveled emotionally and kept saying she wanted to help the veterans, according to the newspaper. But she failed to provide any evidence, such as bank statements, to the New York state lawmaker.

Maher also talked to the veterans who claimed they were thrown out of the Crossroads Hotel in the city of Newburgh.

At least one of the purported veterans said they were paid by Toney-Finch to lie about being thrown out, according to the Times-Union. And staff at Crossroads Hotel and two other hotels confirmed they never had dealings with the nonprofit or never housed any veterans."

I"m curious if you care about homeless vets then do you vote Republican? Because they are consistently cutting funding to veterans as often as they can.

I really don't understand. There are a number of cities that declared themselves "Sanctuary Cities", but that seems to only apply as long as you don't take them at their words and send the illegal migrants to their doorstep. If you want to harbor illegal migrants and someone else doesn't, it should be pretty clear.

I'm reminded of the threat by the prior administration to send the illegals to those sanctuary cities and Pelosi yelled that it was retribution and unfair. How so? When someone says they want to welcome illegal immigration, then take them at their word.
