Inside Track
National Park to House Thousands of Migrants in Tent City
The Biden administration is deliberately stepping over environmental regulations in order to set up a migrant camp of 7,500 adult men at a national park site in the Big Apple.
As The Washington Times reported September 27, the National Park Service on September 15 signed an agreement to lease Floyd Bennett Field, a former airport that is part of the Gateway National Recreation Area in Brooklyn and managed by the National Park Service, as the site of a migrant tent city. Officials have candidly admitted that they will not go through the typical environmental protocols mandated by the National Environmental Policy Act as they upend the family-friendly area currently home to a kids’ petting zoo, hay rides, and ball fields.
Not only do government officials lack a plan to provide sufficient policing for a population of 7,500 potentially dangerous adult men who crossed the border illegally (often with help from cartels), but the camp doesn’t have the infrastructure to ensure that that many people have access to basic needs such as water. To make matters worse, the location is a flood plain that was inundated as recently as September 23.
