BROOKLYN, NY - Residents of a Brooklyn neighborhood are up in arms after learning that city officials have decided to open an all-male shelter for the city's still-growing illegal immigrant population approximately 1,000 feet from the City Life Academy, a private Christian K-12 school. Many Gowanus Neighborhood residents and parents of students alike have reported being blindsided by the news.
According to Fox News, a Brooklyn mom Irina Edelstein told Fox & Friends, "I try not to worry about this too much. There's enough running around and getting ready for school as it is. And, trying not to let anxiety get to me."
She continued, "No one told us from the city side about the shelter's coming up. We found out from local residents when they stopped us at the pickup and they said, did you guys know right around the corner here, the shelter's opening up for 400 men. None of us knew. Even the principal didn't know."
Reportedly families and school administrators alike were left in the dark by NYC leadership and expressed outrage. "Our school hosted the meeting where council members said that ‘we reached out to all the schools, we spoke to all the principals,’ which is absolutely not true," Edelstein told Fox.
Amidst the growing tide of illegal immigrant crime in New York that has led even the NYPD Chief of Patrol to publicly acknowledge a "migrant robbery pattern" in Central Park, Edelstein told host Todd Piro, "I was walking back to my car and one parent stopped me and she said, there are two guys [that] just walked by your car and tried to open it while you were inside the school. And she said that looked like the guys who were residents of the nearby shelter,"
As previously reported by Law Enforcement Today, crime in neighboring Manhattan near the park jumped up 200%, with felony assaults spiking by 43%, and other major crimes increasing by 46% according to crime data from the NYPD.

Why are these criminals allowed in our country in the first place?!! They have no right to be here, and should be deported immediately, not sheltered and favored. How much money is being spent on them that could be used to improve the schools?
