Vivek Ramaswamy on Welfare & Poverty

 

 


Taxpayer funds to house illegal migrants? "This is nuts"

Vivek Ramaswamy has slammed New York City's $220-million deal to rent the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by Pakistan's government, for housing illegal migrants. Ramaswamy argued that the arrangement is a misuse of taxpayer money, with NYC residents essentially paying a foreign government to house migrants on US soil.

New York City's deal, worth $220 million, to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants, is part of a broader $1.1 billion bailout package from the IMF to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on its international debt.

Vivek Ramaswamy questioned the allocation of taxpayer funds. Ramaswamy argued that taxpayers in New York City are effectively paying a foreign government to house illegal migrants on American soil. Ramaswamy's post on X read: "A taxpayer-funded hotel for illegal migrants is owned by the Pakistani government which means NYC taxpayers are effectively paying a foreign government to house illegals in our own country. This is nuts."
