A New York City nursing home has been converted into a migrant shelter after dozens of senior residents, including veterans, were recently evicted from the property.
94-year-old Army veteran Frank Tammaro, who served his country in the Korean War, was one of the residents evicted from their senior center.
Tammaro told Fox News that he had lived in the center for five years, and intended to spend the rest of his days there.
The residents were devastated when they were notified that they were being kicked out of their homes.
After he was evicted, Tammaro’s family was horrified to discover that he was booted out onto the streets to make way for illegal migrants.
The family found out that the nursing home was turned into a migrant shelter.
“I do get upset when I see them handing out all this money and all these things, and I’m paying taxes and getting kicked out,” Tammaro said.
“I’ve never got anything from the city. Or the state.”
City officials have estimated that tens of thousands of migrants have entered the “sanctuary” city since last spring.
Democrat President Joe Biden’s crisis at the Southern Border is currently costing New York City taxpayers around $5 million per day.
Mayor Eric Adams, who previously boasted about NYC being a “sanctuary” for migrants, has more recently complained about the influx of migrants.
The Democrat mayor has warned that the crisis is threatening to “destroy” NYC.
The veteran’s daughter, with whom he now lives, echoed the same sentiment as her father.
“I don’t understand it at all,” Barbara Annunziata said.
“It’s not fair to anybody.
“These migrants, they’re getting everything.
“They’re getting everything and I can’t get nothing for [Tammaro]. It angers me.”
“I can’t even get him an aide,” she continued, noting that her father’s insurance rejected long-term requests for care.
“I only could get him an aide for 30 days and then they cancel it.
“So what, he has to pay for it then?”
To try to address the influx, city officials earlier this year started to house migrants inside school gyms, which upset NYC residents.
Parents complained that their kids lost access to recess and some sports.
They were basically put on “lockdown” because strangers were living at their schools.
“I don’t mind giving a helping hand, but when it interferes with the education of our students, I do care,” one New Yorker complained.
“It’s not fair, and it only happens in low-income communities, where children are failing and not empowered in any way,” the resident added.
“It makes me angry.”
Notably, now that migrants are actually arriving in his so-called “sanctuary” city, Mayor Adams has changed his tune on the border issue.
He’s criticized the Biden White House, but also still blames congressional Republicans.
“It is the irresponsibility of the Republican Party in Washington for refusing to real immigration reform, and it’s the irresponsibility of the White House for not addressing this problem,” Adams said back in May.
Since speaking out against Biden and the border crisis, Adams has recently come under federal investigation for corruption and has been accused of sexual assault.
