A chic hotel in the heart of New York City’s Broadway Theater District closed its doors and is now serving as temporary housing for illegal aliens. The Square Hotel, popular with tourists visiting Broadway, began housing illegal immigrants last year after it announced recently on social media that it would be closing its doors to the public.
“To our valued guests: it is with great sadness that we announce the Square Hotel will be closed for the foreseeable future,” the hotel posted on its Facebook page. They added, “We appreciate your patronage and hope to welcome you back someday soon.” The hotel’s post does not mention why it is closing or that the property is being used as a shelter.
Known for its highly touted Japanese restaurant and artistic decor, the hotel now has National Guard troops stationed outside. Additionally, new signage outside the hotel prohibits the chaining of motorbikes to posts and bike racks nearby. Online food delivery through apps like Uber and DoorDash has become a booming business for illegal aliens. They often use unlicensed and unregulated motorbikes. Likewise, most delivery apps do not require work permits for their drivers.
Critics contend that The Square Hotel is putting guaranteed profits from government contracts ahead of tourists. Additionally, the Roosevelt Hotel on Madison Avenue has engaged in a similar scheme. Dubbed the “new Ellis Island,” the Roosevelt Hotel converted much of its ballroom into a medical triage center and stockpiled supplies in its lobby for the illegal aliens housed there.
