Migrants arriving in New York City from the border will be housed temporarily in this luxury Manhattan hotel - the $700-a-night The Row in the tourist hotspot of Times Square, but they'll be assigned to ring-fenced floors and will be told to use a separate entrance to the tourists being charged top dollar to stay there.
Popular with people traveling for business and pleasure, The Row - described on travel review sites as 'merging NYC's grit with grandeur' - will become a hub for housing migrants on the taxpayers' dime in the coming weeks.
The four-star Row, on 8th Avenue between 44th and 45th streets,

I went to NYC once. My family walked from one train station to another. End of story. I remember the continual scent of urine as we walked.
I grew up in what was a section of New Spain (for 300 years).It is now named Nevada. The area I like is nothing like NYC.

Good grief! Close the border - problem solved! I can't believe what's happening to our country.

So…will the “migrants” be eligible to get room service?
Will EBT pay for it?

Great, they have to use the back door to get in. It's sounds like they'll all be rich soon after they file a class action lawsuit for racism against the hotel and the city who put them up there. They'll be living the American dream soon. Better than hitting the lottery.

Reporters should stand by for the inevitable: 'Tourist robbed by migrant in Midtown'. 'Woman raped in hotel elevator.'
People who can afford a top-notch hotel won't be staying there anymore.

I have an entirely different opinion on what $700 a night will get you. And it isn't what I can get for $70 a night anywhere else in the country.

A few phone calls to friends and relative still in Texas will likely bring an invasion.

Thomas Cook sent me to meet with a bunch of Investment Bankers that we owned. They all dealt in Foreign Currency Contracts worldwide. Spent one night in NY City and then flew out. Had an hour to kill so saw the famous Waldorf across the street. Went in and found the bar. Ordered a Scotch and Soda...1987...$12.00!!! Then went to the airport and was on a pay phone where my briefcase was promptly stolen from under me! Flew back to Minneapolis resolved to NEVER do that again! I must really have fallen off the turnip truck! What a rube!

(I'm sure I posted a similar comment before, but it's not there.)
It seems to me that a sure-fire way to get people on the bus from Texas to New York City is to let them know they are going to be staying in a luxury hotel.
it's the "Build It and They Will Come" strategy that has worked so well with the homeless in San Francisco.

A lot of the so-called migrants (illegal aliens) come from third world foreign lands where there is little indoor plumbing and thus they don’t have a clue as to how to even use a modern toilet. Those hotel companies are committing corporate suicide by filling their vacant rooms with third world illegal aliens who there is no doubt will through ignorance trash the hotels. Chances are that therefore there are provisions in their contracts with the City of New York that the NY taxpayers through the City will be responsible to completely refurbish the entire hotel once the illegal aliens depart.

In San Francisco, the City rented the world-class Mark Hopkins Hotel for homeless housing. The City provided daily room service of deliveries of free marijuana. Within months, new carpeting was needed in the hallways, the previous floor covering having been damaged beyond repair. Because the City did provide a travel advisory to future guests, travel websites cautioned foreigners against booking rooms there. Ain't liberalism grand?

IIRC, in 2020, pelosi performed this stunt on several boutique hotels connected with her own constituents and voters.
The guests and staff were terrorised out of the bldgs straightaway by the druggies and criminals, in various states of undress.
Within a few more days, the places were toxic waste dumps of needles, filthy burning mattresses, carpeting, furniture; they had to be evacuated.
Took about a week or so to be officially shut down as city health hazards. No word on what it cost us.

I cannot imagine those same folks who enjoy staying there will come again after finding out about the migrants sharing the same hotel as they pay top dollar for. Maybe those migrants are nice folks, but I am betting that most of them are willing to commit criminal acts against the other patrons staying at that luxe hotel.

All at taxpayer expense. America loves illegals and despises taxpayers.
