Who Is Helping to Feed the City’s Migrants?
www.grubstreet.com
With tens of thousands of people in need, restaurant owners like Beatrice Ajaero are stepping up.

In December, the New York Times reported that a company called DocGo, which had won a no-bid contract to provide a range of services, was throwing away thousands of meals a day. Migrants have complained that DocGo’s food is moldy and inedible. Many in the restaurant industry have stepped in to help feed these people, some continuing or building on work and networks developed during the pandemic. One of these restaurateurs is Beatrice Ajaero, who runs the West African takeout shop Nneji in Astoria. We spoke with her about her work feeding asylum seekers and other migrants, how she thinks about food access, and making meals that can speak to multiple cultures.

    • Sanctuary City is overun with illegal immigrants.
    • City funds are diverted to shelter and feed illegal immigrants.
    • City services used by the taxpayers suffer.
    • Rich taxpayers move away to avoid higher and higher taxes due to immigrant crisis.
    • Less money overall, more diverted to illegal immigrants.
    • Cycle repeats

    Yeah sounds about right.

      This is exactly what they want you to think. A few select cities in this country are they way they are to push a agenda. Look at Portland for example, total decriminalization was instituted BEFORE universal healthcare or infrastructure to help addicts. These points are all engineered and a lie to distract people from the upper class not doing their fair share and even actively sabotaging the rest of us.
