Life After Roosevelt Hotel: Migrants Stuffed Into 180 Sqft 'Micro Apartments' Ahead Of Elections
Some migrants, after spending months in luxurious hotels, such as the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan, are winding up in more permanent housing solutions in other crime-ridden progressive-controlled cities. In at least one case, migrants are being packed like cattle into a 'micro-apartment' - just before the US presidential election in November.
Forbes interviewed Barbara Peraza-Garcia and her family, migrants from Venezuela, living in a 180-square-foot (17-square-meter) single-room apartment in Seattle. It's a tight squeeze for the migrant family, and the rent is high at $900 a month. Still $500 less than the average cost for a studio in the city.
"It's warm. We can cook ourselves. We have a private bathroom. It's quiet," said Peraza-Garcia, whose family fled Venezuela.
Dan Bertolet, senior director of housing and urbanism for the non-profit research center Sightline Institute, said the 180-square-foot apartment's price is the "cheapest you're going to get without trying to find a subsidized apartment."
The invasion of ten million migrants is colliding with the US' affordable housing crisis, with the lack of studios and one-bedroom apartments.
That's why some cities, like New York City, have erected massive migrant tent cities and stuffed illegals in hotels until permanent housing solutions are found and or until after the elections.
Some migrants are figuring out about "squatter's rights" in progressive cities and have called on other illegal aliens to "invade" unoccupied homes across America."
The fact is, cities don't have enough affordable homes, enough shelters, or enough money to house migrants for free, but there seems to be a push by Democrats to keep them in cities until at least after the election this fall.
While Republican lawmakers have pushed bills to detain unvetted migrants, Democrats have signaled they want migrants to vote in elections.
Earlier this year, in a recent trio of posts to X, Elon Musk wrote that:
- Illegal immigrants "are not prevented from voting in federal elections."
- "You don't need a government-issued ID to vote."
- Democrats "are importing voters."
Earlier this week, Elon Musk posted a two-minute video detailing the end goals of the migrant invasion facilitated by the White House, non-governmental organizations, and mega-corporations.
This is actually happening!

Turning illegal immigrants into progressive voters is the end goal of Democrats as they fight to stay in power by facilitating a migrant invasion with taxpayer dollars (they need a new voting base), weaponizing the Department of Justice against political opponents, and using federal agencies, NGOs, and mega-corporations to censor anyone who disagrees with their radical view points.
