A New York City resident shared an encounter during an interview on Fox News, about how Migrants come begging âdoor to doorâ in his neighborhood.
Raymond Maniscalo, a resident of Queens, discussed during an interview on âJesse Watters Primetimeâ on Fox News about a recent encounter his girlfriend had with migrants from Floyd Bennett Field knocking on their door asking for money.
Maniscalo noted the Migrants who showed up at the door had been turned away by his girlfriend, even though they had two little children with them.
âWhat theyâre doing is, theyâre ringing doorbells. They rang my doorbell and my girlfriend answered,â Maniscalo explained. âAnd, they stuck a government paid phone, telephone right in her face.â

âTheyâre already pre-programmed in English, and it said, âCan I have some money?'â Maniscalo added.
Maniscalo explained that over the Christmas holidays, the Migrants have gone begging into Marine Park âat night,â leaving the neighbors âconcerned.â
âThey were coming in through the side doors, ringing doorbells, asking for food, asking for money,â Maniscalo said of the situation. âJust this week, they stole one womanâs laundry in front of her house.â
In addition to receiving government-paid phones to use, the Migrants are also receiving âfree Metro cardsâ which they are using to go to places like Kings Plaza to panhandle âin the middle of the street,â Maniscalo said. âItâs madness.â
âWe feel bad for anybody who canât put food on the table when they have young kids or canât wear a warm coat in the wintertime,â Watters said. âBut, I mean, this is enough. We have enough panhandlers as it is that are American citizens. We have enough thieves as it is. I mean, theyâre obviously, this city is full.â
When asked by Watters whether there were jobs in the city, adding that he âthought they were coming here to work,â Maniscalo said that there was ânothing available.â
âThereâs 1,700 Migrants in the Floyd Bennett Field with nothing to do,â Maniscalo explained of the living conditions for Migrants. âTheyâre freezing to death in there. They have to leave their bunker area in order to wash up and take care of their needs. The children are not being schooled, itâs a horrifying situation. Itâs only going to get worse.â
Maniscaloâs comments come a week after students from James Madison High School were forced to have school remotely as Migrants from Floyd Bennett Field were housed in the building due to inclement weather.
New York City Assemblywoman Jamie Williams (D) previously called for an investigation surrounding âunregistered vehiclesâ that were towed from Floyd Bennett Field belonging to Migrants who were âbegging for food and money.â
