Biden Approves Illegal Alien Camp At NYC Airfield Despite Residents’ Opposition

As Brooklyn, New York, residents continue to protest, President Joe Biden has approved a plan to force New Yorkers to pay for a massive camp to be erected on a former naval airfield facility for at least 2,000 single adult male illegal aliens.

The plan was proposed by New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), but needed the approval of the president because Floyd Bennett Field is owned by the federal government.

On Tuesday, residents of southeast Brooklyn gathered to protest the decision to house illegal aliens on the former naval airfield — which sits along Jamaica Bay and close to multiple neighborhoods, including Gerritsen Beach, Roxbury and Breezy Point.

Speaking with local TV station News 12, one resident expressed concern about the potential danger posed by the unvetted illegal aliens taking up residence in their neighborhood.

“I live here, I grew up here,” the resident said. “It’s going to make the neighborhood way more dangerous.”

Former Republican candidate for New York City mayor Curtis Sliwa attended the protest — where he railed against Biden’s lax enforcement of federal immigration law, as more than 100,000 illegal aliens have arrived in New York City since spring 2022 thanks to the Biden administration’s open border policies.

“The people here feel that they have been betrayed,” Sliwa said during the protest. “No transparency whatsoever. It’s like ‘Pay your taxes, shut up, raise your kids, and we’ll tell you what you’re going to do.’ Well, we’ve had enough, no more of the illegal aliens. Enough is enough, this is Joe Biden’s problem.”

Hochul, completely ignoring the concerns of the local residents, confirmed on Wednesday that the Biden administration had approved her plan for the massive illegal alien camp at the airfield — praising the decision in a statement.

“I’m viewing this as a significant development by the administration… to acknowledge that we need more help here,” the statement read.

This is just one of many illegal alien camps being set up by far-left leaders in New York City. Earlier this week, New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) opened a massive shelter on Randall’s Island that will disrupt recreational activities for schoolchildren — as the shelter is being placed on three soccer fields. The project will cost New York City taxpayers a staggering $20 million per month, while housing roughly 3,000 single adult male illegal aliens.
