Greg Abbott’s plan to share the pain of illegal immigrants flooding the border in droves with sanctuary cities is definitely working in New York City.
The city is struggling with massive violence in their migrant shelters because illegals are factionizing based on their country of origin while bringing knives into the facility.
There have already been at least 2 stabbings at Randall’s Island, one resulting in a fatality, and city officials are now working on installing security cameras and metal detectors.
Here’s more on this from the NY Post:
The violence is so bad at New York City’s migrant shelters that authorities are installing security cameras and considering metal detectors as cops grapple with “an influx of knives — just wait till they get a hold of guns,’’ officials and law enforcement sources say.
The latest bloodshed includes a fatal stabbing Jan. 7 and Thursday’s separate massive brawl and knifing — both at the tent-city shelter on Randall’s Island.
“They’re not using metal detectors. … If they were, the knives wouldn’t be happening,” a security guard at the site told The Post on Friday, noting that shelter arrivals are not screened beyond having their IDs scanned.
“Everyone can have a knife, can have something. So it’s not a good environment,” he said.
“The security is not good. It’s not safe. If you tell me it’s safe, it’s not. We are trying to do our best, but we are outnumbered,” he said.
Security cameras were in the process of being installed at the makeshift shelter Friday morning, with discussions ongoing about adding metal detectors to further enhance security there and at other sites — as the city struggles with the massive influx of South and Central American migrants, more than 150,000 in total, who have arrived in New York since the spring of 2022.
A law-enforcement source told The Post on Friday that it is time to get real about security measures at migrant facilities, and that failing to do so puts public safety at risk.
“We cannot continue down this road of taking in hundreds and hundreds of people without establishing such security measures. We need to do this for the sake of the staff, migrants and New Yorkers in general,” the source said.
“We can’t continue to have thousands of people congregate under such constrained conditions without any metal detectors or cameras. Now we’re dealing with an influx of knives — just wait till they get a hold of guns.”
“24-year-old victim was viciously assaulted at the shelter by four people”
The stepped-up safety measures began after a pair of knife attacks this month, including the Jan. 7 fatal stabbing at Randall’s Island that cops said sprung from a fight over a woman.
The 24-year-old victim was viciously assaulted at the shelter by four people after he talked to one of the men’s girlfriends, sources said. One of the attackers pulled a knife and stabbed him in the neck and chest area. The victim was rushed to Harlem Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Asylum-seekers told The Post at the time that crime has festered as migrant groups have factionalized, splitting off into armed “camps” based on their ethnic group and country of origin.
“Everyone has a knife,” migrant Mauricio Pinto said after the fatal stabbing.
The simmering violence has boiled over into all-out brawl on more than one occasion, most recently Thursday afternoon when two rival groups of migrants — armed with knives and rocks — began fighting inside the shelter before the conflict spilled into the streets, sources said.
A 24-year-old man was stabbed during the chaos. He was taken by EMTs to Harlem Hospital and listed in stable condition. The attacker remained at large as of late Friday afternoon, cops said. Eighteen people were arrested after the rumble.
The incident echoed another group fight Jan. 6, when violence erupted outside an East Village migrant center in Manhattan after someone attempted to cut the line of some 400 asylum-seekers and allegedly spilled his coffee on others in the queue.
One man punched the line-cutter and tumbled to the ground in the ensuing melee, witnesses said.
At least two NYPD officers were injured in the scuffle, and two men were arrested.
I remember back in 2015 when Trump said that bad hombres are coming across our open border and he was heavily criticized for it. But we all knew he was right and this just proves it.
