NYCHA residents and migrants spar over food, resources in Queens

NEW YORK - The influx of migrants is being felt in one Queens neighborhood, where NYCHA tenants find themselves fighting over food with the newly arrived asylum seekers.

"We do we have to take the butt of everything," said Georgia Butler, a Queensbridge Houses resident. "This community is already suffering."

The residents living in NYCHA’s Queensbridge Houses say they look forward to mobile food pantries that show up weekly.

But over the past year, they have witnessed 8,000 migrants move into their neighborhoods and begin to make use of the limited resources available.

"They were first on line for the turkeys this morning," Butler said. "They tell you to be there at 11 o’clock. You get there at like 10:30, 10:45, but they are already out there.

The line is from over there it’s over here."

Free food giveaways, especially during the holidays, have become a source of tension between long-time New Yorkers struggling to get by and newly arrived migrants who are using the system to survive.

A month ago, one altercation got so heated between a resident and a migrant, that someone ended up in the hospital.

These criminal trespassing, overbreeding parasites are taking food out of the mouths of OUR needy.

The whole family gets in line to take our food and pretend they do not know each other.

This goes on all over Texas and the country. Drive up for boxes of food in different cars for ONE family. They are disgusting.

Get these scavengers off our soil. Their president should be feeding them, not US taxpayers.
