   One New York City hotel staffer sounded the alarm on how illegal   
   immigrants have trashed a once-luxury hotel and turned it into a chaotic   
   "mess" at the expense of American taxpayers.   
      
   Row NYC employee Felipe Rodriguez joined "Fox & Friends First" Thursday to   
   discuss how migrants have trashed the rooms and wasted food as he fears   
   the broader impact on community safety.   
      
   "It's a lot different when I joined the row in 2017, it was a great place   
   to work… you came in there was no stress," Rodriguez told co-host Carley   
   Shimkus. "There was a nice environment where you could associate with the   
   guests and the exchange was pleasant. Now… this is a migrant hotel… We   
   don't have any guests anymore. They sold the entire hotel from the fourth   
   floor to the 28th floor. It's all migrants."

   "Some of them are real great people, and they're looking for the American   
   dream," he continued. "Unfortunately, the government didn't vent out just   
   the right people to come into the program and just sent anybody. So we got   
   people who are… getting drunk, using marijuana. They are punching and   
   beating their wives or their girlfriends. We have teenagers running around   
   wild around the hotel, opening the fire exit doors. It's a mess."   
      
   Rodriguez, who interacts regularly with the migrants, said he is now on   
   disability as he recovers from an injury related to clutter in one of the   
   migrant's rooms.

   But critics are also up in arms over the food waste. Rodriguez unveiled   
   footage and pictures of massive amounts of food the hotel was forced to   
   throw out because the migrants wanted different food.   
      
   "I was shocked," Rodriguez said. "It was mind-boggling, and when I asked   
   some of the guests… they said they [didn't] like it."

   There are more than 38,000 migrants in New York City with 26,000 currently   
   staying in Big Apple hotel rooms, according to Mayor Eric Adams' office.   
      
   At the Row specifically, it is costing taxpayers around $650,000 per night   
   to house the migrants, ringing in around $500 per night per room.   
      
   Despite the trashed hotel rooms and massive food waste, Rodriguez said he   
   also worries about how the current circumstances will affect public   
   safety.   
      
   "It is nice to see that we have people that believe in the American dream,   
   and it's good for them to come here and look for that, but I think that we   
   owe New Yorkers and we owe all citizens the right to make sure that our   
   neighborhoods are safe," Rodriguez said.

   SANCTUARY CITY, TEXAS AG   
      
   "There is no safety in our job," he continued. "Security is very   
   shorthanded… we don't know who's drunk and who's going to… do some crazy   
   stuff."   
      
   New York City Council Minority Leader Joe Borelli (R) joined "Fox &   
   Friends" Thursday to discuss the issue at hand, calling for more stringent   
   regulation as it pertains to immigration policy.   
      
   "We are stockpiling people, essentially, at hotels who have no other   
   purpose other than to wait for immigration authorities to decide what to   
   do," Borelli told co-host Steve Doocy. "And all of this is happening while   
   the taxpayers of the city of New York are forced to basically buy and   
   stockpile rooms without any idea of how many people are coming, how long   
   they're going to be, how long we need to feed them, how long we need to   
   provide them shelter."   
      
   "And in reality, this is just more evidence that perhaps immigration, even   
   with respect to asylum seekers, is better done when it's regulated and [a]   
   certain number of people are led in at a time, and you happen to know who   
   they are, where they're going and what their purpose is," he continued.   
      
   With tens of thousands of homeless people in New York City shelters,   
   Borelli insisted the local government focus more on helping house   
   Americans first before placing illegal immigrants in luxury hotels on the   
   taxpayers' dime.   
      
   "When you see these videos and when we hear these stories about how much   
   waste and abuse there is, this should cause alarm bells to ring in   
   Washington, that this is a serious crisis," Borelli said.
