Poor American citizens forced to compete with illegal aliens for Thanksgiving meals: 'There simply is just not enough'



Poor American citizens have once again found themselves in direct competition with illegal aliens for critical resources.

In years past, low-income New York City Housing Authority tenants could look forward to a free meal around Thanksgiving. However, on account of the recent influx of over 142,000 foreign nationals into the sanctuary city, there appears to be fewer meals to go around.

WNYW-TV reported that Tammy Waters, a resident of the Queensbridge public housing development, was one among roughly 6,000 NYCHA residents who had to compete with 8,000 illegal aliens for meals inside the Jacob Riis Neighborhood Settlement.

Waters counted her blessings as she was ultimately able to obtain food, noting, "I'm very thankful."

"Everyone looks out for each other, which I love," said Waters. "I don't know about [the] immigrants too much. I don't know."

Extra to competition over Thanksgiving meals, there is similarly a glut of demand on the mobile food pantries that come by weekly. Fights have already begun to break out between citizens and immigrants in the food lines.

WNYW noted New York City Councilmember Julie Won, who organized the Thanksgiving meal giveaway, had to intervene when a vicious battle unfolded at a food pantry last month, sending one individual to the hospital.

"Right here, you have the largest population of public housing in a single unit of the whole country who are living 200% below the poverty line," said Won. "People are going hungry right now. People are frustrated with not having enough to eat."

"Why do we have to take the butt of everything?" asked Georgia Butler, a resident of Queensbridge Houses. "This community is already suffering."

Won indicated much of her city council office's funding goes toward addressing food insecurity remedies. Food assistance once designated for those who can't work, specifically senior citizens in the area, now also extends to the multitudes of foreign nationals who have stolen into the country.

"We would never turn anyone away for a meal, but there simply is just not enough for the NYCHA residents and the migrant shelter residents," said Won.

NYC's beleaguerment by immigrants has not only taken food out of the mouths of poor citizens and filled homeless shelters but has depleted resources and threatened the efficacy of essential services across the board.

Blaze News recently reported that Democratic NYC Mayor Eric Adams has announced immediate deep budget cuts to the NYPD, education, libraries, and various other services.

The police force is being cut down by 3,000 officers, which former NYC police union president Patrick Hendry suggested was "truly a disaster for every New Yorker who cares about safe streets."

The New York Fire Department was similarly impacted, having its overtime limited.

According to the city, the migrant crisis is set to cost nearly $11 billion over two fiscal years and has already cost NYC $1.45 billion this fiscal year.

Adams, desperate for support from the Biden administration, said in a statement, "No city should be left to handle a national humanitarian crisis largely on its own, and without the significant and timely support we need from Washington, D.C., today’s budget will be only the beginning."

Won indicated these budget cuts could exacerbate the issue of feeding both NYCHA residents and foreign nationals.

"People are going hungry right now. ... People are frustrated with not having enough to eat, not having heat and hot water in their shelters or in their houses in NYCHA," said Won. "People want to make sure they just have their basic needs met like any human would anywhere, and that's what's causing the tension."

RFK Jr. tells Tucker Carlson the percentage of America’s wealth that belongs to the Democratic Party, and it’s both ironic and disgusting



Dave Rubin calls RFK Jr. “the last sane Democrat,” and for good reason – the guy tends to make a lot of sense.

In a recent interview, RFK Jr. explained to Tucker Carlson why the poor feel abandoned and downright hated by the Democratic Party – the party that once was sympathetic toward them.

“To fund these wars … they print money, and that means inflation, and that’s a tax on the poor,” he explains. “The price of food has gone up 38% – the price of basic foodstuff, chicken, eggs, and milk have gone up 78%.”

While most suffer to some degree, the poor are hit the hardest.

“On March 1 of this year … 30 million Americans got [the] phone call” telling them that their “food stamps were cut to $23 a month,” he continues, adding that “that’s the same month we ratcheted up our contributions to the Ukraine at $113 billion.”

Further, “the Fed printed $300 billion unanticipated dollars to pay for the failure of the Silicon Valley Bank … and we began cutting 15 million people from the welfare roll; since then 4 million have been cut.”

“There’s no money for poor Americans,” RFK Jr. tells Tucker, whose face reveals deep concern.

Granted that “the average wage in this country is $5,000 less and the cost of basic goods – food, transportation, and housing” has skyrocketed, it’s no wonder “half of Americans are making up that gap by putting it on their credit [cards].”

“This week we pass $1.1 trillion in credit card debt – that’s the first time in history.”

Then there are the people who “are choosing between food and gasoline, food and medicine.”

But it wasn’t always this way; times have changed, and certainly not for the better.

“When I grew up, my uncle was president, my father was in the Democratic Party, [which] was with people who were poor,” RFK Jr. reflects, “and today, 70% of the wealth in this country is owned by the Democratic Party and only 30% by the Republican party.”

This “shift in wealth … maybe is one of the reasons that Democrats do not seem to be talking to or working for people any more.”

Michael Moore rips Texas for dropping mask mandate, suggests withholding vaccine from residents — well, except for 'the poor and people of color'



Left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore took the state of Texas to the woodshed after its announcement earlier this week that it will be dropping its COVID-19 mask mandate and allowing businesses to fully open.

What did Moore do?

Texas - we hear you. You didn’t want to be part of our electrical grid. And now you’ve removed your mask mandate &… https://t.co/I6d44MdFmf

"Texas — we hear you," Moore tweeted Wednesday. "You didn't want to be part of our electrical grid. And now you've removed your mask mandate & are allowing large crowds to gather. We hear you! COVID is a hoax! So u don't need our precious vaccine. We'll send it to ppl who are saving lives by wearing masks."

But he was far from done. In a follow-up tweet Moore revised his initial statement, acknowledging that "yes, we must and will find a way to vaccinate the poor and people of color in Texas."

2. Yes, we must and will find a way to vaccinate the poor and people of color in Texas. To Texans who say, hey, it'… https://t.co/HCGStQxw3q

"To Texans who say, hey, it's not me — it's the Governor! Well, then, impeach and remove him," he added. "We're tired of this. Don't mess with Texas? Happy to oblige."

Moore finished with two more Twitter posts on the topic:

Moore's proposal came a day after fellow left-winger Keith Olbermann offered virtually the same suggestion for Texas — though Olbermann didn't include qualifiers related to skin color or economic status.

Pushback

And just as commenters blasted Olbermann, they ripped Moore for his take, too: "Gee, thanks!" one Twitter user replied. "I'm one of the (admittedly few) Texans who has barely left my house for a year. I wear masks. I distance. I wash & sanitize. I'm TERRIFIED right now & likely won't be allowed to get a vaccine before MAY! Thanks for saying my life doesn't matter to you."

Some were particularly annoyed that Moore said the poor and people of color should be vaccinated while leaving out other demographics:

  • "So you don't want to vaccinate middle-class non-minorities even if they have been following the protocols and trying to keep people they interact with safe?" another commenter asked. "Maybe it's time for a Twitter vacation? I'm normally a fan of yours, but this is one bad take after another."
  • "How about white people? Can they have access to the vaccine?" another user wondered.
  • "You can't protect the poor and POC of Texas — and I say this as both — without protecting everyone else too," another commenter declared.
  • "Lol so now you want to do eugenics based on how people voted? Just admit you f***ed up," another user said. "Also everyone needs to be vaccinated for it to matter."
  • "Yuck he clumsily throws in something about poor & POC to make it look like he's not inhumane," another commenter observed. "Fed gov should fulfill its responsibility to protect lives & health of ALL, regardless of skin color, income — or even political party. And any decent human being would want them to."

Wall Street, Washington, D.C., and Silicon Valley are swimming in cash and prosperity. The vast majority of Americans, on the other hand, are gasping for air.
