Maria Manaura, 32, who’s been arrested at least eight times in the six months since she arrived from Venezuela, is living at the Row NYC Hotel, once hailed for its unbeatable Times Square location and front-row view of the Theater District.
Now it’s drug infested and violent but still costs taxpayers $500 a night for each of the 1,300 rooms given over to migrants.
Manaura was busted again last week for snatching a woman’s cellphone on the No. 6 train.
She was charged with grand larceny and resisting arrest, but instead of locking her up, Judge Jay Weiner granted supervised release, likely in time for her to make it back to the hotel and another prepared meal paid for by you and me. It’s sickening.
Migrants like Manaura who rack up clashes with police should be made ineligible for the city’s largesse.
Handing out hotel rooms and free meals to repeat thugs makes it easier for them to commit crimes and makes us patsies.
The Democratic Party is turning New York City into a Shangri-la for international theft rings and migrants here to rob and burglarize.
