Migrants' refusal to leave New York hotel met with outrage: 'Absolutely insane'

The panel on "Outnumbered" blamed the Biden administration's lax immigration enforcement for chaos ensuing in New York City on Monday, as dozens of migrants being housed on U.S. taxpayers' dime in a posh Manhattan hotel refused to leave.

A group of illegal migrants who entered into the U.S. through the southern border, are refusing to leave their free NYC hotel rooms for a migrant shelter in Brooklyn, New York, sleeping in the street to protest. The migrants were initially placed at the Watson Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, but their schedule for relocation to a new migrant relief center, the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal, caused uproar late Sunday night.

"It's outrageous. I think it's more to do with the fact there's going to be all-male [centers]," host Brian Kilmeade said. "They're trying to break it up."

Kilmeade alluded to previous reports that migrants were having sex in hallways of the Row, one of New York City's best-known hotels and drinking alcohol in the lobby. Trash bags full of untouched sandwiches provided for the migrants were discovered there after the migrants used unsafe cooking means to make their own food in their hotel rooms.

"So they want to stop at the fraternity house, and they don't want to go to the Brooklyn [cruise port] for free, where they eat for free," Kilmeade added.

"So I cannot believe the audacity of somebody who would come to our country illegally, take a free bus ride to the number one city in the country, and then decide that they're going to pick and choose the free accommodations that they're getting."

Co-host Rachel Campos Duffy recalled speaking with homeless people in New York months ago when the city had used Randall's Island – a large island in Hell Gate home to several sports fields and a psychiatric institution – as a migrant holding center.

The homeless would have quickly taken the migrants' place at the Randall's Island center rather than typical homeless shelters, Campos-Duffy recounted.

"We are not putting Americans first. This is absolutely insane. And by the way… yeah, everything looks bad next to a really nice midtown hotel. I'd like to stay there, too," she remarked.

Migrants' refusal to leave the New York hotel came as reports surfaced of increased crossings at the northern border, particularly in the section between Plattsburgh, New York and Pittsburg, New Hampshire.

"It's a misnomer when people say, ‘And now the droves are coming from Canada.’ You know, it's ‘via’ [Canada]," said host Emily Compagno.

"Remember at the southern border, we had reports of over 150 countries represented by the millions of illegal immigrants flooding over the southern border. Canada is no different, illustrated horrifically by the fact that an entire Indian family froze to death in that terrain, as did a Haitian man."

The Swanton sector – centered in Vermont – saw twice as many illegal immigrants in a four month period than they had for the prior two years, she reported.

McCarthy spars with CBS host on election denial hypocrisy: 'Why don't you also hold Democrats' accountable

Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy called out CBS’ Margaret Brennen and the media for ignoring past examples of Democrats denying election results while attacking Republicans on Sunday.

During McCarthy’s "Face the Nation" appearance, Brennen questioned McCarthy’s choice of nominating certain House Republicans to committees despite many of them allegedly denying the results of the 2020 presidential election. 

"According to CBS records, 70% of the House GOP members denied the results of the 2020 election. You put many of them on very key committees, Intelligence, Homeland Security, Oversight. Why are you elevating people who are denying reality like that?" Brennan asked.

"Well, if you look to the Democrats, their ranking member Raskin had the same thing, denied Trump or Bush was in there. Bennie Thompson—" McCarthy began.

"Did you see those numbers we just put up there, 70 percent?" Brennan interrupted.

"Did you also be fair and equal where you looked at Raskin did the same thing, Bennie Thompson, who's a ranking member, was a chair, these individuals were chair of the Democratic Party," McCarthy responded.

Brennan frequently interrupted McCarthy, pointing out this discrepancy, implying that going back to the 2000 election was not relevant to the discussion.

"Yeah, they're my choices, but they’re the conference choices. But I'm also asking you when you look to see just Republicans, Democrats have done the same thing. So maybe it's not denying. Maybe it's the only opportunity they have to have a question about what went on during the election. So if you want to hold Republicans to that equation, why don't you also hold Democrats? Why don't you hold Jamie Raskin? Why don’t you hold Bennie Thompson? When Democrats had appointed them to be chair, I never once heard you ask Nancy Pelosi or any Democrat that question, when they were in power in the majority," McCarthy answered.

"You're talking about things going back to 2000 which was a time, I didn't have this show back then, which is why I'm asking you now," Brennen said.

Prominent Democratic figures such as Hillary Clinton, Stacey Abrams and Hakeem Jeffries have previously denied the results of the 2016 presidential election as well as the 2018 midterm elections. Despite this, they continued to be featured prominently in media and hailed as leaders in the Democratic Party.

Over the past few weeks, McCarthy has faced criticism for removing Democrats such as Adam Schiff and Eric Swalwell from their House Intelligence Committee positions while promoting Republicans in others. McCarthy previously defended these choices when questioned by reporters or Democratic critics.

"This is your Congress," Brennan insisted.

"These are members who just got elected by their constituents, and we put them into committees. And I'm proud to do it," McCarthy responded.
