Parents protest about Mayor Adams’ new plan to house illegal immigrants in gymnasiums

Why can't they re-purpose the countless unused, abandoned buildings for illegals instead?

Mayor Adams claimed Tuesday that his new policy of housing migrants in public school gymnasiums won’t directly impact students s — even as parents protested his latest effort to find ways to shelter the more than 60,000 migrants who’ve come to the city since last year.
“They will not be impacted directly,” Adams said during an interview on 1010 WINS. “They’re not going to be impacted. I’m never going to put our children in harm’s way.”
The Daily News reported Monday that Adams was either housing or attempting to house migrants in seven public schools, but on Tuesday he sketched out a broader plan that could potentially impact 20 or more public schools.
“This is not something we want to do,” Adams said. “What we did was identify 20 standalone gyms — this is not every gym in every school — 20 standalone gyms as one of the potential locations as we have exhausted our hotels and other locations.”
But parents disagree with the mayor’s assessment of how children may be affected.
More than 100 parents and students protested at the building that houses PS 17 and MS 577 Tuesday morning. According to event organizers there, migrants were housed in the building overnight, but cleared out ahead of the demonstration.
The city’s repurposing of the gym at the school is particularly fraught because it just opened in January, after years of parents advocating for it.
“We have a new building that we fought for so our children could have a gym,” said Stacy, whose 10-year-old son receives special education services. “They worked hard to get these activities. They have a carnival next week, and they may not have it now.”

When they voted Democrat, this is what they voted for. Unfettered & unchecked illegal immigration. Yet they will most likely vote for another Democrat in the next election.

Why is depprting illegal aliens not an option? If they don't want to deport, bring deadly force to the border. One or the other...or both.

No human is illegal unless it is Martha’s Vineyard.

Hard to feel sorry for these people

They’re stupid enough to vote democratic and will wonder why their children are victimized in a consequence-free environment.
Completely freaking stupid.

Can you blame the parents for being concerned? Putting unvetted illegals in a school gymnasium is inherently risky.

Vote differently next time and you won't have this problem.
Keep voting this way, and you'll get it in spades

Should’ve thought about that when they decided to vote for people who want open borders. I have zero sympathy for people in these far left cities. This is what they want.

I feel bad for her to an extent, but that's a hilarious paragraph.

Of course not. And I'm sure some DIDN'T vote for it, they just live in a heavily democratic city.
Sorry, replied to wrong post.

More or less concerned than mean tweets?

He said he’ll never put the kids in harms way. So he’s admitting the illegals are dangerous

Looks like Dems are finally being made to take notice.
