The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants.
The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.
Prior to this sweetheart deal, the hotel had been closed since 2020, having long-struggled with occupancy and in dire need of renovation.

Americans are paying the jihad government of Pakistan to house illegals.
So, not only Are Americans paying for al hijrah (jihad immigration), we’re paying them the jiyza (a tax on non-Muslims under Islamic law.)
Vivek Ramaswamy, Co-lead of President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, writes:
We need to scrutinize U.S. government funding of “non-government organizations.” It’s an oxymoron that represents a waste of taxpayer dollars, but the real problem runs deeper: Americans deserve transparency on opaque foreign aid & nonprofit groups abetting our own border crisis. https://t.co/KiD9ahRLAk

Vivek Ramaswamy blasts NYC for $220 million migrant deal with Pakistani-owned hotel: ‘A broken system on display’
By: Economic Times, 30 November, 2024:
New York City has leased the Roosevelt Hotel, owned by the Pakistani government, for $220 million to house undocumented migrants. The 19-storey hotel was closed in 2020 but reopened this year under the deal. The lease agreement forms part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout for Pakistan. Critics like Vivek Ramaswamy have slammed the arrangement, arguing it uses taxpayer money to benefit a foreign government. The deal has reignited debates on immigration spending and government waste.
New York City has committed $220 million to rent the Roosevelt Hotel, a Manhattan landmark owned by Pakistan International Airlines (PIA), a government entity of Pakistan. The hotel, housing over 1,200 rooms, is being used to accommodate undocumented migrants for three years under a lease agreement. The deal is expected to generate significant revenue for Pakistan, aiding its financial recovery efforts.
Controversy Over Use of Taxpayer Funds
The arrangement has drawn sharp criticism from US Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, who expressed his disapproval in a social media post. “A taxpayer-funded hotel for illegal migrants is owned by the Pakistani government which means NYC taxpayers are effectively paying a foreign government to house illegals in our own country. This is nuts,” he said.
Ramaswamy’s reaction followed a report by author John LeFevre, who revealed details of the agreement on social media platform X. LeFevre stated, “The city of New York pays $220 million to rent the entire Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan to house illegal migrants. The hotel is owned by the government of Pakistan, and the deal was part of a $1.1 billion IMF bailout package to help Pakistan avoid defaulting on their international debt.”
