New York City is at it again, this time proving why housing thousands of people in a tent city on the coast during a winter storm is a bad idea. 2,000 immigrants were rushed to buses as the storm descended upon Floyd Bennett Field, used as makeshift housing, and were sent to a nearby high school for emergency shelter. After spending the night sleeping on the floor, they were ushered out of the school and back to the tent city when the “worst of the storm was over.”
Because of rising anti-immigrant sentiment stoked by Mayor Eric Adams and conservatives alike, the school received death threats and parents protested that their teens had to do remote learning from home for a day. Elon Musk used his absurd platform to further the vitriol, saying: “they will come for your homes.” Sure, because 2,000 lives are less important than being inconvenienced for a day.
