Across the Border and Into the Parks:

Officials plan to house migrants at the Gateway National Recreation Area.

Mayor Eric Adams recently said that the endless flow of migrants will “destroy” New York City. I saw that firsthand last week when I toured migrant housing facilities and met with officials and tried to get to the bottom of their plans to house illegal migrants in the Gateway National Recreation Area, part of the National Park System.

The day began with city officials denying me entry to the Roosevelt Hotel. The hotel—whose namesake, Teddy Roosevelt, championed the national parks—closed during the pandemic only to reopen as the central processing facility for migrants arriving in New York. It houses more than 1,000 migrant families, has National Guard members stationed at the doors, and is so overcrowded that migrants have resorted to sleeping on chairs inside or on the streets outside. This is a far cry from the treatment congressional Democrats received the previous week, when they were welcomed for a tour and press conference at the Roosevelt.

Later in the day, I visited the Gateway National Recreation Area, which includes coastal areas in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and New Jersey. It’s a lifeline to the outdoors in a concrete jungle. It features the city’s largest community garden, kayaking, fishing, a sports complex, campgrounds and even a unit of the Sea Cadets Corps, the U.S. Navy’s youth-development program. More than nine million people visit annually, and park staff reported that Floyd Bennett Field hosts more than one million visitors a year.

The proposed plan to house migrants in the recreation area has already affected youth programs at the site. Park Service representatives said parents have pulled their kids out of the Sea Cadets program at Floyd Bennett Field. —>READ MORE HERE

– Biden Administration Constructing Migrant Encampments in National Parks:

The Biden administration must end its resettlement of migrants on National Park Service land, says House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Bruce Westerman (R-AR).

Westerman used a Wednesday oversight hearing to highlight the Biden administration’s construction plan for migrant camps on “some of America’s most treasured lands.”

The Biden administration did not honor Westerman’s request to send an administration official to discuss the policy, to Westerman’s disgust. “Congress has a duty to conduct oversight and this committee will not tolerate seeing Biden’s bad policy destroy one of America’s best ideas,” he said.

More than 100,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the spring of 2022, according to Westerman. The city is so overwhelmed with migrants that Democrat Mayor Eric Adams recently claimed that the Biden administration’s current immigration policies will “destroy the City.” —>READ MORE HERE
