As in, "we'd love for you to leave." New York City has long been a sanctuary city. Supposedly sanctuary cities were those cities that welcomed illegal aliens, but all it really meant was that they intended to thumb their nose at federal immigration enforcement so long as it benefited the Democratic party. But, as Tip O'Neill used to like to say, all politics is local. And so, when put to the test, it turns out that many Democrat strongholds aren't nearly as welcoming to illegals when those communities wind up being stuck footing the bill.
Thus Gateway Pundit reports: "New York City Hires COVID Company in $432 Million No-Bid Contract to Ship Illegal Aliens Out of the City." From the article:
Back in May New York City Mayor Eric Adams claimed the illegal alien crisis was so bad that 50% of the hotel rooms were occupied by illegal aliens.
Over seven million illegal aliens entered the US through its open borders under Joe Biden. And, over 90,000 illegal aliens have been shipped to New York City during the crisis.
The article, quoting from the New York Times, reports:
The city awarded DocGo a $432 million contract, which took effect in early May, without subjecting it to competitive bidding. The contract called for DocGo to house migrants and provide them with services including case management, medical care, food, transportation, lodging and round-the-clock security…
The article also notes that DocGo "once contracted with the city to provide Covid testing and vaccination services, but pivoted to migrant care as the pandemic waned and a new crisis emerged."
Surely no corruption there.
ReplyDeleteOf course not. A half-billion dollar contract issued without bidding. What could go wrong?
