An illegal immigrant traveled for over a month to get to America. She was then living in a hotel for free. She was then sent to Rochester, NY, and she's living in a rent free housing and receiving free food. However, she doesn't like it. She's very emotional and still likes America, but she says Rochester is "no good." The woman, named Yaniry Pena, said things that were promised to her have not been fulfilled. It makes you wonder WHO promised things and WHAT did they promise? What's really going on here? And is this woman being used for something much bigger? Why would people promise her things and not deliver? What's the deeper story here? She had a translator with her, telling her story in English, as reported on WHEC:
After arriving in the U.S., Pena and her family were moved to New York City and enrolled in a housing program that sent them to Rochester. They arrived in January and lived at the Holiday Inn Downtown for four months before moving into a duplex three weeks ago.
However, the duplex they moved into didn’t have gas or power. Despite being in the country for more than a year, Pena still doesn’t have a work permit and worries about running out of money to support her children. When Pena moved into the duplex, she found the refrigerator filled with either tiny worms or feces. After complaining, the fridge was replaced. In January, Ibero, the agency that oversees the care of migrant families, said 36 families, about 145 people, had moved from the downtown hotel to apartments. News10NBC is still working to confirm the exact number of migrants who have relocated to Rochester.
