Low-income New Yorkers living in public housing say newly arrived migrants have been first in line for free turkeys ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, as public resources are strained from illegal immigration.
According to local reports and interviews, New Yorkers living in public housing are competing against tens of thousands of newly arrived migrants to New York City when it comes to meals this Thanksgiving.
"Why do we have to take the butt of everything," New Yorker Georgia Butler told FOX5 New York in an interview.
Frozen turkeys are seen on a table during giveaway at Green Valley of Sunnyside Market Place on November 21, 2023 in the Sunnyside neighborhood of Queens borough New York City.
According to FOX5 New York, New Yorkers living in public housing have seen some 8,000 migrants move into their neighborhoods after having arrived at the United States-Mexico border and being released into the nation's interior.
Already, low-income New Yorkers are dealing with strained resources.
Mayor Eric Adams has announced billions in budget cuts for New Yorkers after the city spent nearly $1.5 billion in just the last year on newly arrived migrants.
