Migrants bused into New York City have been walking through the streets of a Staten Island neighborhood asking for food, clothes and work after they were put up in hotels there.
The migrants — many not ready for the colder temperatures of the Big Apple — are staying at a property in Travis-Chelsea that includes the Staten Island Inn, Holiday Inn, and Fairfield Inn and Suites Marriott, sources and workers told the Post.
“We do not have clothing and are not eating well. We need a place to work,” Silva, 31, told The Post. Terrence Jones, a Staten Island resident and business owner, said he was caught off guard when some migrants rang his doorbell multiple times. “I’ve had it happen three times. The fourth time was today and [a woman] handed me a paper” identifying herself as a migrant, he said.
Sebastian Bongiovani, 51, co- owner of Verde’s Pizza and Pasta House, has provided free food to the migrants since they arrived. He said the neighborhood was never informed that the busloads would be coming.
