‘This Is A Free-For-All’: NYC Hotel Worker Describes Chaos As Migrants Have Trashed Rooms, Brought In Drugs

An employee at New York’s Row NYC hotel spoke out on Tuesday about how the illegal immigrants who have been placed there have caused “total chaos,” dragged in drugs and ruined the rooms taxpayers have funded.

Felipe Rodriguez Fox News described the scene at Row NYC — which is “closed until further notice” as it is being used to house illegal immigrants who have been dropped off in New York — telling “Fox & Friends” That the city was supposed run the Housing program But, that was because no one was really providing supervision or direction.

“Chaos, total chaos,” He spoke highly of the hotel. “There’s no accountability. The city’s so-called running the program [and] allows these people to destroy these rooms. There is no daily supervision to show these people that … you don’t destroy your hotel. You are only there temporarily. This is not your home.”

“Unfortunately, the ones that are paying the price is the hotel workers, Local 6 union workers,” Rodriguez added. “Those guys and those ladies endure a lot of disrespect from the migrants, and there [are] some nice migrants, but there’s too much alcohol, too much drugs and too much violence, and you have teenagers … going into the staircases and making out like it’s lovers lane … This is a free-for-all.”

Rodriguez was placed on disability because he was injured trying to transport a refrigerator from a hotel room that was already cluttered.

To make the situation even more toxic, Rodriguez claimed that hotel management was not terribly interested in fixing the problem — mainly because the government was paying them more to house migrants than they would bring in from regular guests.

“Their self-entitlement is beyond belief. They believe that … the hotel is theirs, and they’re going to do what will what they want, and our general manager really [doesn’t] care about any of the workers’ toxic conditions or hostile conditions. All he cares about is the money. They wanted more money, so it’s easy money from the city,” He said.

Another hotel, the Watson — which has also “suspended operations until further notice” — has been the focus of a protest after a number of male migrants were instructed to move from the hotel to a shelter.

The shelter claimed that the accommodation was inadequate. “subpar,” Many migrants chose to protest by camping out on the streets in front of Watson instead.
