NYC Migrants pile into vans they say are headed to Florida for hurricane Ian cleanup​

Scores of Venezuelan migrants in New York City are hopping on vans to head down to Florida for Hurricane Ian clean-up, they told The Post.

The migrants had scant information about whom they would be working for, but they still piled into vans in Queens that they said were headed to the Sunshine State over the weekend.

“They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” said Javier Moreno, 37, noting that a woman named Camila “from an organization” approached him with a flier.

“I’m going for the work. It’s been hard for us migrants to find work here in New York, that’s why a lot of us are going. How’s the work in Florida?”

Must be the Dem's behind it.

I've known several Venezuelan immigrants. All had blue/gray eyes (OK not the one dark brown eyed girl, but....), Funny thing is they all have somewhat Germanic sounding last names. Krauss, Johanass, Bergdorf, Spielman..... And funny thing is, all of their fathers' were petro chemical engineers who fled Venezula with suitcases of cash, and piles of money in US banks, and ALL of the fathers worked for DOW, or EXXON, or CHEVRON, and the kids didn't need a thing! EVER! They just always had money..... Of course they also were tremendously disgusting, so the only way they could get laid was by buying prostitutes, which was fine by them.... Their dads' did it, eventually they'd find a desperate blonde woman and marry her, and continue to go out and bang prostitutes.
two of them I knew went on to marry other guys..... But they kept on going out and banging prostitutes.

Promises...flyers...agents...? Get a camera crew down there. Time for “Grapes of Wrath: Rebirth”. Maybe? Maybe not. I hope it is humane. Perhaps an opportunity to prove the initiative and drive of recent immigrants. Are Cletus and Jethro gonna prefer remaining idle on their Red State porch?

Hell, they can sit on their porches and shoot at the vans full of immigrants.

Unfortunately, I strongly suspect these are fly-by-night companies that will take the immigrants down there, work them as hard as they can be worked, and then short them their pay. After all, who is gonna stand up for the immigrants, especially working under those situations - travel isn't covered. So once they get there, they are well and truly screwed.

Such are what the desperate go through to get any income they can.

Thanks for visiting the USA! Don't come back!

"An immigration official in the Canadian province of Quebec has said it is "surprising" to learn that New York City is sending migrants to the country's border.
New York City mayor Eric Adams told Fox 5 that his administration was assisting migrants who had been sent to his city but wanted to go elsewhere.
"Some want to go to Canada, some want to go to warmer states, and we are there for them as they continue to move on with their pursuit of this dream," Mr Adams said.
The New York Post has reported that migrants in New York City are being given free bus tickets to Plattsburgh, New York state, about 20 miles (32km) south of the Canadian border. From there, they pay taxis and shuttles to take them to Quebec.
Quebec immigration minister Christine Fréchette told reporters in Montreal that the development was "surprising".
She said it highlighted the need to "solve the problem of Roxham Road", referring to an unofficial border crossing south of Montreal used by thousands of asylum seekers every year.

"I think it makes the urgency of the situation even more apparent," Ms Fréchette said, adding that Canada and the US were negotiating to update the Safe Third Country Agreement.
The treaty, signed in 2002, requires migrants to make an asylum claim in the first country they enter, whether it is the US or Canada.
But it only applies at official border crossings, which Roxham Road is not. This loophole allows the migrants arriving from New York to have their asylum cases heard by Canadian immigration authorities.
New York City has an ongoing migrant crisis, as states on the southern US border bus newly arrived migrants to America's most populous city.
In a January visit to Texas, Mayor Adams told reporters there was "no room in New York" for the migrants.
Days before, he had released a statement saying his city had welcomed 40,000 asylum seekers since last spring, providing them with food, shelter and other resources.

"We are at our breaking point," the statement read. "Based off our projections, we anticipate being unable to continue sheltering arriving asylum seekers on our own and have submitted an emergency mutual aid request to the State of New York."
Mr Adams confirmed to Fox 5 on Monday that the city was providing free bus tickets for migrants.
"If they are seeking to go somewhere else, we are helping in the reticketing process," he said."
