A group of black voters from Harlem in New York City recently appeared on Fox News and expressed their anger over the illegal immigrant crisis.
One of the neighborhood's luxury buildings recently became the focus of controversy when locals noticed workers loading sets of beds into the empty building, leading many to believe that illegal border crossers were being transported without any notice or discussion.
The city's mayor, Eric Adams, assured people that illegal immigrants would not be transferred, but the city appears to have caught on and backed down on its stance.
Fox News reports:
Harlem residents express their anger and betrayal over the migrant crisis: “They infiltrated them without transparency.”
Harlem residents criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday after unveiling plans to turn an abandoned luxury apartment complex into a migrant shelter.
Adams showed up unannounced at a community meeting in upper Manhattan on Thursday where locals were gathering to discuss rumors that the building at the corner of 130th Street and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. It was quietly being prepared to receive the migrants, according to CBS News.
During the meeting, Adams told residents he did not agree to move immigrants into a building when local residents have unmet needs.
“I told the team: Find out what's going on here,” Adams said. “We don't move people into a brand new building when you have long-term needs in the community. That's not going to happen.”
“You won't have immigrants and asylum seekers on that property,” he said.
“They snuck in here without transparency,” Tiffany, a Harlem resident, told Fox News of the city administration’s efforts to place immigrants in the city.
“We see bunk beds being moved in. What's going on? And no one knew it was happening,” she said.

Trump should reach out to these voters and tell them how things will be different under his leadership.
