Migrants stage pavement protest outside London hotel, demand private rooms and better Wi-Fi
Better Wi-Fi, more financial assistance, and private rooms were just some of the demands made by migrants who demonstrated outside the doors of their new hotel accommodation in an upscale residential area of central London on Thursday.
The group of adult men, many of whom arrived in Britain illegally in small boats via the English Channel with a view to claiming asylum, used their suitcases to barricade the front doors to the Pimlico Comfort Inn and staged a pavement protest against what they consider to be offensive living standards afforded to them by the British government.
The group was recently transferred from a hotel in Ilford, Essex, but told reporters that their new accommodation was not to their taste and refused to return to their rooms until they are each provided with private accommodation.
“They said we’re going to move you to another, better place. They gave us this postcode. When we checked on Google Maps, we said, oh this is very nice. But when you get in, it’s like a jail. And they treat you very, very bad. They treat you like an animal,” a 21-year-old Iranian national who arrived in Britain via small boat told The Telegraph newspaper.
Some complained that they had previously been assigned two people to a room, but were now expected to share an en-suite room with three others. The group also bemoaned the smell from the toilet and poor internet access.
Adams proposes putting migrants in ‘private residences’ to deal with influx.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has suggested putting migrants in ‘private residences’ to deal with the influx of economic dependents seekers in the Big Apple.
The statement came while Adams announced a partnership with New York houses of worship to give migrants a place to stay across the city.
‘It is my vision to take the next step to this faith-based locales and then move to a private residence… They have spare rooms,’ Adams said Monday afternoon.
Adams said when the church-based program is fully operational, they hope to be able to host up to 1,000 asylum seekers at a time.
Since April 2022, more than 70,000 migrants have arrived in NYC after governors from Republican states like Texas and Florida sent buses to the liberal-led city.
California’s SB 227 allows illegal immigrants to receive $300 weekly unemployment checks despite budget deficit.
California State Senate Passes Bill to Give Illegal Migrants Unemployment Checks
California’s State Senate passed a bill last week to give unemployed illegal migrants $300 weekly unemployment checks for up to 20 weeks, despite the fact that the state faces a $32 billion budget deficit.
As Breitbart News reported last month:
California’s fiscus has fallen in the space of one year from a surplus of $100 billion, partly based on federal cash for coronavirus relief, to a staggering deficit of $32 billion.
In his revised budget, Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) cautioned legislators to maintain “prudence.” But under SB 227, “excluded” workers who are in the country illegally would be able to receive $300 per week in benefits.
…
California’s unemployment insurance program is already controversial, having lost $30 billion in fraudulent claims during the pandemic. The state recently defaulted on a federal loan to cover a shortfall in benefits.
California voters voted to deny benefits to illegal invaders. This judge over-ruled them.
KJP: Busing illegal aliens from the southern border is "dangerous & unacceptable because you're actually putting a lot of pressure on these states & local areas."
