According to a Dominican Republic immigrant who spoke with reporters, New York’s government is not keeping its word to assist immigrants in resettling in American areas and providing them with employment and benefits.
In an emotional video message to WHEC-TV on Friday, Yaniry Pena attacked Monroe County, New York, officials for making her life much more difficult than she had anticipated.
The article claims that Pena and her kids fled their house in the Dominican Republic and traveled to El Salvador before starting a perilous month-and-a-half journey to the border, where they entered the United States.
Speaking to the news outlet through an interpreter since she does not understand English, Pena claims that her treatment in New York has traumatized her.
It is quite traumatic, the resentful Pena said. It has been really distressing, she said. We have not received any confirmation of the instructions to travel to Monroe County or Rochester.
Pena claims that after entering the country, she traveled to New York and signed up for a Rochester free housing program. Upon their arrival, the Holiday Inn Downtown placed her and her kids in a room for four months, after which they received a free duplex.
Pena said that after being in the country for a year, she is still not eligible for a work permit and that the living area is without gas or electricity.
When Berkeley Brean of WHEC asked Pena if she liked being in the United States, the immigrant said, “Si. However, it’s not in Rochester. Rochester is not good.
Pena’s predicament draws attention to a specific issue with the influx of migrants brought in by Joe Biden’s permissive policies. Even with the abundance of freebies, free legal assistance, and handholding, the majority of migrants continue to receive benefits, either fully or in part.
In response to the immigration issue, Governor Kathy Hochul (D) of New York recently announced the approval of a $237 billion state budget that allows an extra $2.4 billion for migrant-related expenses on top of the billions previously spent.
Furthermore, extravagant spending on Biden’s border crossers is increasing, even though Hochul and New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) have taken steps to seem tough on migrants by placing time limitations on housing—only allowing the expelled migrants to reapply for more accommodation.
Certain Democrats in New York are insisting that taxpayers foot the bill for these migrants’ permanent free housing, while millions of Americans are fighting just to maintain a roof over their heads.
