NYC Planning to Convert Soccer Fields on Randall’s Island Park Into Shelter for 2,000 Illegal Immigrants

New Yorkers are about to lose more park space to illegal border crossers. Last week it was reported that the city is considering housing illegal immigrants in Central Park.

Residents in Brooklyn are fuming because the city just opened a shelter in a popular neighborhood park.

Now the public park on Randall’s Island is going to lose its soccer fields as the city plans another shelter to house up to 2,000 people.

NYC to open new emergency shelter for migrants on Randall’s Island

New York City will open a shelter for migrants on Randall’s Island — some nine months after officials closed a similar center that housed asylum seekers in the East River park, Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday.

Adams said the new space will house roughly 2,000 adult asylum seekers. Officials said the new site will open in the coming weeks, along with two other new relief centers in other parts of the city.

“As the number of asylum seekers in our care continues to grow by hundreds every day, stretching our system to its breaking point and beyond, it has become more and more of a Herculean effort to find enough beds every night,” Adams said.

City officials said there are now more than 57,200 migrants under the city’s care.

Here’s a video report:

Families with kids are the biggest losers in this story.

"Construction of the housing means over 3,000 hours of recreation for both public and private school children, as well as adult sports leagues, would be canceled…" https://t.co/u9ie1WISa9

REPORT: Bernie Sanders Quietly Funneled $200K in Campaign Cash Into Wife and Son’s Non-Profit Organization

Democratic-Socialist Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders apparently moved $200,000 from his campaign into the non-profit institute that employs his wife and son.

Sanders frequently demands that the rich ‘pay their fair share’ and rants against the capitalist system, but has done extremely well for himself financially in the process.

The is report also raises questions about what the non-profit in question actually does.

From FOX News:

Bernie Sanders funneled $200K in campaign cash to wife and stepson’s nonprofit institute, records reveal

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders quietly funneled $200,000 from his campaign’s coffers to his wife’s nonprofit institute, which appears to do very little work and pays six figures’ worth of compensation to her son, Fox News Digital has found.

The independent senator’s committee cut two $100,000 checks to the Sanders Institute for reported charitable contributions in January and March, its Federal Election Commission records show. The expenditures are the largest from the Sanders campaign to any entity this election cycle.

The senator’s wife, Jane O’Meara Sanders, and stepson, David Driscoll, co-established the Sanders Institute in 2017 to act as a think tank to promote progressive voices, The Washington Post wrote at its launch…

Just two years after its launch, in 2019, the institute announced it would suspend operations as Sen. Sanders sought the Democratic nomination for president to avoid the “appearance of impropriety” and presumably to take away a line of attack from his rivals over its money.

The institute has since quietly resumed operations while seemingly sidestepping media attention. Its latest publicly available tax forms from 2021 show the nonprofit burnt nearly 40% of its donations on salaries while appearing to conduct minimal work and having very few identifiable accomplishments.

Here are a few Twitter reactions to the story:

Corrupt "non-profits" wash the left's money. Tax them into oblivion. https://t.co/YPpqKlpYux

I'm so damn sick of this shit. Children, wives, relatives, etc., laundering campaign money to enrich themselves. It's called public service, but these days it's a cash cow for far too many! https://t.co/6xC3jx9ZHT

He has been in politics for five decades and owns 3 houses. Is anyone really surprised by this? https://t.co/As9k8a4UTz

It appears Bernie Sanders has some explaining to do.
