New York: 95-Year-Old Veteran Was Kicked Out of Nursing Home to Make Room for Illegal Aliens

Over 7 million illegal aliens have crossed the U.S. border since Joe Biden took residence in the White House in January 2021. Border communities in Arizona and Texas are overwhelmed by the massive invasion of illegal aliens.

Tens of thousands of illegal aliens have flooded New York City, as a result of Biden’s crisis at the Southern border.

A 95-year-old Korean War veteran, Frank Tammaro, had less than two months to find new housing after the nursing home he lived in was sold to accommodate illegal aliens.

He spoke alongside Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, (R-NY), who has been critical of New York City’s management of the migrant crisis, during a press conference.

Frank Tammaro said that he was annoyed with how the transition was handled at Island Shores, the assisted living facility he resided in. While they provided some notice to evacuate, it was insufficient for residents to protest the decision adequately.

“The thing I’m annoyed about is how they did it, it was very disgraceful what they did to the people in Island Shores,” Tammaro said.

Tammaro recounted that a notice was posted giving them a month and a half to find new accommodations, which left him worried that he might not be able to move quickly enough.

“Then one day there was a notice on the board. I think that gave us a month and a half to find out where we were going to go,” he said. “I thought my suitcases were going to be on the curb because I’m not that fast.”

He credited his daughter for helping him avoid being left with his belongings on the curb, as the decision seemed to be made behind closed doors, leaving residents with limited time to respond.

From Fox News:

A 95-year-old Korean War veteran said he was given less than two months’ notice to figure out where he was going to live after the nursing home he resided in was sold to become a facility for undocumented migrants.

Veteran Frank Tammaro joined Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., a vocal critic of New York City’s handling of the migrant crisis, at a press conference on Monday to discuss the reported deal.

“The thing I’m annoyed about is how they did it, it was very disgraceful what they did to the people in Island Shores,” Tammaro said, referencing the assisted living facility he was in.

He said that Island Shores “gave us time to get out,” but not enough time to protest the decision to boot residents – which Tammaro said he tried to do.

“Then one day there was a notice on the board. I think that gave us a month and a half to find out where we were going to go,” he said. “I thought my suitcases were going to be on the curb because I’m not that fast.”

“If it wasn’t for my daughter, they would’ve been on the curb. That was it. I said, ‘No, no, no, no, you’re not moving me,’ and they said, ‘Yes, yes, yes we are.’ Everything was done behind closed doors – we didn’t have a chance to actually make any attempt to stop them because there wasn’t enough time.”

New York City Councilman David Carr confirmed to local outlet SI Live that he was informed by the city’s Department of Social Services that the migrant facility would open there this week. Fox News Digital reached out to the Department of Social Services for confirmation but did not immediately hear back on Tuesday.

Fox News Digital’s attempt to contact a number associated with Island Shores Senior Residence could not be completed. The facility is listed as “permanently closed” online.

“My blood pressure went through the roof when I found out Homes for the Homeless cut a deal with the City of New York to turn Island Shores into a migrant shelter,” the GOP lawmaker said.

“Our tax dollars as citizens of New York should not be utilized to house citizens of other countries, especially at the expense of our senior citizens and veterans who put their lives on the line, paid taxes their whole lives and built our communities.”
