The traditional Army-Navy football game in December may be short of a few fans due to local hotels being all booked up with housing for illegal migrants.
“Scores of military veterans, service academy graduates, and families are scrambling to find hotel rooms for the big Army-Navy game at Gillette Stadium because their reservations were canceled to make way for migrant families,” noted theMigrants who had waited in line throughout the night outside Federal Plaza for a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-in appointment took shelter underneath sheets of plastic and cardboard as rain fell before sunrise in Manhattan.
“I have enough rooms to cover some of the people. Some people are looking around, but pricing is very high. For many, the issue is safety … they are questioning the safety of remaining hotels located near those that are now filled with migrants. Lots of questions by my clients, and most hotels are scrambling to come up with safety protocols,” said Mansbach.
“By providing shelter to refugees, we aim to be part of a global community that stands together in support of those in need,” Mulholland said. “We look forward to working with local authorities and organizations to ensure a smooth transition for all those who will call our hotels home during their time with us.”Thousands of service academy graduates and families will be flocking to the state for the big game.
