Good job demonrat voters, you screw everything you touch.
NYC backs off plan to house migrants in school gym — for now
The city is so desperate to find housing for its flood of migrants that it nearly moved some families into the gym of a Brooklyn elementary school, then abruptly reversed course Friday when outcry erupted.
The principal at PS 188 on Coney Island had alerted parents in a letter Friday that the school was chosen as one of the “emergency, temporary sites to house individuals and families who are seeking asylum” in the Big Apple, according to the missive obtained by The Post.
Starting Thursday night, “several families will be utilizing the stand-alone gym at your school on a short-term basis,” Principal Leslie King wrote.
More families were expected to be sent to the gym in the next few days, too, said local City Councilman Ari Kagan — a situation that created an uproar.
250 illegals, that’s just for starters. Enjoy your voting results.
NYC Backs Off Plan to House Migrants in School Gym — For Now
The city is so desperate to find housing for its flood of migrants that it nearly moved some families into the gym of a Brooklyn elementary school, then abruptly reversed course Friday when outcry erupted.
The principal at PS 188 on Coney Island had alerted parents in a letter Friday that the school was chosen as one of the “emergency, temporary sites to house individuals and families who are seeking asylum” in the Big Apple, according to the missive obtained by The Post.
Starting Thursday night, “several families will be utilizing the stand-alone gym at your school on a short-term basis,” Principal Leslie King wrote.
More families were expected to be sent to the gym in the next few days, too, said local City Councilman Ari Kagan — a situation that created an uproar.
The local school-district community board issued a blistering statement saying it “was given no advance notice of this action’’ — and was still in the dark, with many crucial questions lingering.
“The [Community Board] 13 office staff has been struggling all day to get the most basic information from various agencies regarding how many people will be housed there, for what length of time, whether the individuals have been screened for communicable diseases, what measures are in place to provide services, etc.,’’ the letter said.
Kagan noted earlier in the day — before the Adams administration pulled back — that insiders at City Hall admitted to him they were jittery about what public reaction to the move would be.
The principal at PS 188 on Coney Island wrote to parents that the school had been chosen as one of the “emergency, temporary sites to house individuals and families who are seeking asylum” in the Big Apple.
“This is why they didn’t notify people, because they knew the community would be against it,” Kagan said at the time.
The pol told The Post on Friday evening that he has since been told no migrants ever made it to the school — although they still could be sent there.
“It’s not going to happen today. But it’s not 100% off the table, he said.
PS 188’s principal told parents that migrants would be housed in the gym.
City Hall officials are still trying to house the massive influx of migrants that is expected to grow now that Title 42 has ended.
A source close to the controversy said it appeared that outcry over the move doomed it, at least for now.
“Judging from comments on social media and by parents, clearly the community was against it,” the source said.
NYC Councilman Ari Kagan told The Post on Friday that the elementary school is “totally the wrong place” to house migrants.

A City Hall rep said in a statement to The Post on Friday, “As we’ve been saying for months, we are in the midst of a humanitarian crisis, having opened more than 130 emergency sites and eight large-scale humanitarian relief centers to serve over 65,000 asylum seekers.
“We received more than 4,200 asylum seekers this past week alone and continue to receive hundreds of asylum seekers every day. We are opening emergency shelters and respite centers daily, but are out of space and are out of space. We will continue to communicate with local elected officials as we open more emergency sites.”
250 Illegals, That’s Just for Starters. Enjoy Your Voting Results

So much so that the editorial board of the Chicago Sun Times was horrified enough to write a chiding, nanny-voiced, fainting couch op-ed comparing the black South Shore residents to?
TRUMP MAGA types. Scout’s honor – they did.
South Shore residents angry about migrant shelter would make MAGA proud
…No Chicagoan, no matter what part of town they live in, can forget that, even as the city struggles to find shelter for the influx of migrants being sent here by Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who has no qualms about using human beings as political pawns.
We as residents have to be better than that. But some in South Shore were not last week, when they shamefully emulated Abbott’s wanton callousness in protesting the planned use of a shuttered school to house migrants.
“We don’t care.” “We don’t want them here.” “Send them back.” “Close the border.” Those were among the ugly jeers that dominated the meeting at South Shore International College Prep, as the Sun-Times’ Emmanuel Camarillo reported.
What a pathetic and embarrassing display of NIMBYism, sounding much like an ugly “America First” rally for Donald Trump. One man even held a sign that read “Build the wall 2024.” That image alone is certain to put a smug smile on the faces of many MAGA types.
Boy, they can’t resist trotting out the tired MAGA as the worst insult ever. Pretentious fools. The black residents of South Shore are now MAGA racists, just like that. That “build the wall” sign must have really gotten under their skin and you know these are fellows who probably have 10 foot fences and/or security guards at their homes.
Well, we’ve known Chicago is MAGA Country since early 2019. In any case, as America’s Newspaper of Record notes: Poll: Most Democrats In Favor Of Welcoming Immigrants Into Someone Else’s Neighborhood.
