One way to help identify and solve problems is to use the proper terminology.

Illegal aliens are throwing away food, not migrants.

They are not migrating, they are invading.

I saw a video of them angrily arguing with hotel staff over their illegal use of hotplates.
Instead of feeling sorry and ashamed, they acted so... entitled. "These sandwiches are not tasty!"
Pshawww...
Agreed. It's the same way in Europe.

These illegal trespassers need to be sent back ASAP. It's a moral hazard to allow for random people enter the country based on the flimsiest of reasons.

What do you all think about reports that migrants here in NYC are throwing away tons of good food because it doesn't meet their cultural standards?
I would say that is all racist, bigoted, nonsense.

Because ANYBODY who wastes good food just pisses me off, lol. Whether out there somewhere or right here in the house where I am living.

But I do get that it's not what they are used to eating. In the pictures in the news about this, for example, you can see that the sandwiches are labeled with things like 'teriyaki chicken'. That might be totally foreign to someone who is used to eating rice and beans.

Again, feed 'em the damn rice and beans. It's cheaper than making fancy sandwiches.

And it's a little disturbing to see all those empty beer cans and cartons. They have money for that?

Food waste no matter who's doing it is a pet peeve of mine. It bothers me when I see kids throwing in the trash perfectly fresh bananas, apples and oranges in the school cafeterias.

Also, they're using hot plates which is a fire hazzard. They're staying at a hotel free of charge and don't give a crap if they burn it down. If I was a hotel owner or staff their lackadaisical attitude would grate on me.

Okay, Grandpa let's get you to bed.

Give them what they want/need, not what you think of being “good and fancy” food. I would be sick tired if I were fed “sandwitches” three days in a row… my stomach couldn’t handle it. I feel for those poor creatures who long for hot meals…NYC is the home they’re looking for after all, lol…One thing to deter those migrants from coming is to put up banners along the border “We only serve sandwiches on this side of the border”…

In my book people who show up announced and invite themselves into places should take what they get and be happy of it.

If these so called "migrants" pulled this sort of stunt in their home countries they'd get oogatz.

I'm trying to recall if the gov gave them funds in the form of cash or debit cards as well but it escapes me.
