During a return trip from Scotland, former President Donald Trump addressed the issue of migrant housing in the United Kingdom and the United States. He criticized the practice of accommodating migrants in what he described as "luxury hotels" while others face financial hardship.
Trump highlighted the disparity between the living conditions of migrants and those of working-class individuals, including veterans. He mentioned instances where veterans were reportedly unable to secure housing while migrants were staying in expensive hotels. He pointed out that this situation was unfair.
The former president referenced reports of migrants being housed in high-end hotels, costing thousands of dollars per night. He contrasted this with the struggles of veterans and other citizens who were experiencing homelessness.
While some claims of veterans being displaced from hotels have been disputed, there have been instances of hotels being used to house migrants, leading to cancellations for other guests. The closure of a major migrant shelter in Manhattan was also mentioned, along with investigations into hotels used for migrant housing.

Finally, someone is saying it! We should help each other, but let’s put our veterans first.

This rhetoric is harmful. Migrants and veterans should both be supported, not pitted against each other.

Using veterans as a shield to attack migrants isn't fair to anyone. It’s a false choice being presented.

Trump's comments only promote division between migrants and veterans. Let's focus on solutions, not blame.

It’s hypocritical to say migrants are in luxury when he benefited from such privileges himself.
