Moroccan migrant who praised Biden as he arrived at US-Mexico border now complains he is homeless in New York City because he can’t find a job
A delighted Moroccan migrant who thanked President Joe Biden after entering the US illegally is now reportedly homeless and unable to find work in New York.
The man, who identified himself as Ous (short for Osama), crossed the border into Lukeville, Arizona, and admitted to multiple media outlets that he was not seeking asylum, but had instead gone to seek employment opportunities in New York.
At the border, he joyfully said: “I love you, Joe Biden, thank you for everything, Joe Biden. I’m a good person, I want to be a good person here in the United States.”
The 20-year-old is currently in the Big Apple and said NewsNation and to Border correspondent Ali Bradley that he was having trouble finding housing and couldn’t work without a Social Security number or driver’s license.
“I have a problem at work. “I want to work here legally without breaking the law because I promised you on the video that this (illegal border crossing) would be the first violation and the last violation,” he told her.
Ows said he was staying with a friend and wanted to find a place to live, but couldn’t afford it without a job, which he couldn’t get because he didn’t have a Social Security number or driver’s license.
A migrant named Ows, who thanked President Joe Biden after entering the country illegally, is now reportedly homeless and unable to find work in New York.
In an earlier interview, Ouse told Bradley that he thought finding a job would be easy and he wanted to drive for Uber in New York. Ows said he wants to file his taxes and get them into the system.
“I’m going to New York to see a friend to help me with something, buy a new bike and work for Uber,” he said.
New York has welcomed more than 140,000 migrants since spring 2022, and data shows at least 95,000 migrants arrived in the Big Apple in 2023.
The city is struggling with the influx of new arrivals, and Mayor Eric Adams has asked for state and federal help as the migrant crisis is estimated to cost the city $12 billion over the next three years.
The former NYPD captain has since been forced to slash the city’s budget to cope, with cuts amounting to $110.5 billion across the board, including billions taken from critical departments like education and police.
A total of 41,277 people listed New York as their destination when crossing the border into the United States, according to data from Syracuse University’s TRAC immigration database reviewed by the newspaper.
They were served notices to appear in the city’s immigration court, which is required by law to grant asylum to the arrivals.
Bradley said Aus was given a notice to appear on his own recognizance scheduled for October 2024 in New York.
Ows said he came to the US because he feels American and loves American music, especially Lana Del Rey.
Migrants line up to get into a shelter in New York. Since spring 2022, the Big Apple has received more than 140,000 migrants.
Migrants are huddled together and waiting in the cold to get into a shelter. New York City Mayor Eric Adams has estimated that the migrant crisis will cost the city $12 billion over the next three years.
“When I was five years old, I felt like an American because I love Michael Jackson, Nirvana,” Ows said.
He said sending Bradley back to Morocco was impossible and that he would commit suicide if necessary.
At the end of the interview, Aus said, “Thank you, Joe Biden, for everything. We love you, Joe Biden.
An exclusive report from DailyMail.com has revealed that Border Patrol leaders say there is a “new phenomenon” of migrants turning themselves in and not avoiding arrest because they know they will be released under the Biden administration’s policies.
Stunning confessions from leaders of several border sectors were revealed during testimony before the House Homeland Security Committee.
The committee, led by ranking Republican Mark Greene, is actively investigating Secretary of State Alejandro Mayorkas’ role in perpetuating the ongoing border crisis.
Greene told DailyMail.com that “Secretary Mayorkas’ policies encourage lawbreaking to such an extent that record numbers of undocumented immigrants are actually turning themselves in to Border Patrol agents while awaiting release, rather than attempting to flee across the border undetected.”
Chief Patrol Agent Aaron Heitke of the San Diego sector told investigators in May that the increase in migrants turning themselves in is a relatively new phenomenon.
He confirmed that the huge number of illegal migrants who “give up” and do not actively try to avoid arrest is a “more recent phenomenon”.
Migrants wait at the border wall in Lukeville, Arizona. In the Tucson sector in particular, a surge in migrant encounters has affected hundreds of adult men crossing the border from the Middle East, Asia and Africa.
Large groups of migrants in Lukeville, Arizona. The Tucson sector experienced 17,500 collisions in one week, the highest weekly total ever recorded.
Chief Patrol Agent John Modlin, who works in Arizona’s Tucson sector, told investigators that the number of migrants “surrendering” and surrendering to agents is in the hundreds.
Modlin said that because of the frequency of “large groups of people surrendering,” “it’s now not uncommon to see groups of 200 to 300 people surrendering, and they’re doing it in some of the most remote areas.”
As a result, it is “saturating” Border Patrol agents on the ground and pulling a lot of resources into those areas, he said during July testimony.
Migrant encounters at the open southern border reached their highest single-day level last Tuesday, when an astonishing 12,000 people poured across the border into the US.
In the Tucson sector in particular, a surge in migrant encounters has affected hundreds of adult men crossing the border from the Middle East, Asia and Africa. In one week, there were 17,500 encounters in the sector, the highest weekly total ever recorded.
