A year ago, I talked to a couple of migrants from El Salvador that just arrived from the caravan. They seemed like a decent humble couple. They were asked to join the caravan to come to USA because USA wanted them here. Here's what i learned:
- They had no idea who was behind the caravan.
- They were given cell phones which keeps them in contact with someone, that gives them instructions.
- They were staying in a near by Holiday Inn which is being used 100% for immigrants from around the world (Africa, China, South America).Nobody is working.
- They are all fed 3 meals a day.
So let this sink in. In the past 4 years, over ten million migrants from around the world are living in USA. They do not have jobs. They have no support system other than USA government. They are just living at the taxpayer's expense. Many cannot self deport, as they are from across the ocean.
I have to wonder, what government is being used to feed these ten million people every day? What happens if the government stops feeding them? Will they say "Oh well, I guess I"ll just roll over and starve to death now"?
I think we could be on the brink of seeing chaos released on our nation like never before.
TEN MILLION STARVING INVADERS
Trump has been strongly saying he intends to deport these immigrants. Although a large percentage of the population would thank him for it, a large percent would resent him for it, and history books would call it a "controversial action."
I don't think Trump or the White hats want this. I think they want everyone to realize the horrible situation our nation's lawmakers have put us all into, so they have allowed or even nurtured the situation over the past four years.
I believe the upcoming government shutdown be exactly what puts this all into motion.
Buckle Up.
10 Million is a Yuge number.
A few years ago I had a job working for this company that sold linens to hotels. My job was to visit the owners and managers of the hotels and show him how soft and awesome and cheap our towels and sheets were and get them to dump what they currently had.
Anyways, part of my training was looking at the statistics of hotel rooms. It was pretty interesting. The city with the most rooms is Vegas, and there are around 140k rooms there. NYC has just a few less than that, LA had around 100k.
But all combined there are 5 million rooms in the entire US and every night the US hotel room occupancy rate is 60%, meaning there are normally three million empty hotel rooms in the US every night. A majority of those are in rural areas since cities tend to hit occupancy.
70% of hotel rooms are double bed rooms, 30% are singles. At most you can house 4-6 people in a double room, and maybe 4 in a single with cots. A lot of rural hotels are quite small and there just isn't any room to move around.
That leaves two million empty hotel rooms spread around the country, so you could theoretically fit 9.2 million people into all those empty rooms. But, that would mean that every hotel in every city would be 40% filled with poor, dirty folks who don't know the language and their rooms are being paid by some random government card or something like that. The average room is $120 per night in the US, so that would be roughly $3 million per night being pumped into the hotel industry every night.
Marriott has the most rooms of any hotel, and last year they made $1.1 Billion in revenue. They've made an extra 8% last year, and extra 12% the year before, but full occupancy would increase their profit by closer to 30%.
Now think about a 40% increase in work needed to be done in each hotel, food consumed, soap and toilet paper used, etc etc etc. I just looked back at Marriott's budget breakdown and they spent the same amount on toilet paper in the last five years, which could be hidden by cutting quality for sure, but unlikely at that rate.
All of that being said, I think they just couldn't be housing that many people at hotels without everyone noticing it. There'd be posts all over social about the huge increase of non-english speaking poor people begging at every street corner and outside every 7-11 across the country in every single hotel.
Now, are there camps somewhere? That's a different possibility for sure.
The claim was only that "hotels" did this, not that it was all being done in hotels. It is pretty common for immigrants to rent a house and then cram close to a dozen people in it. We had a house like that down our street until recently. A 3-bedroom mobile unit with half a dozen cars parked there all the time?
A dozen?! I've investigated places that have had 2 dozen people living in a 2 bedroom apartment!
"Thanx and a hat tip of the Hatlo Hat!" I was being conservative. The reality is indigestible.
