(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) today joined local elected officials in sounding the alarm on New York City potentially registering tens of thousands of noncitizens at New York City migrant shelters to vote.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — President Joseph Biden’s administration came out against a bill from Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-Staten Island/South Brooklyn) Monday that would ban migrant housing on federal properties like Fort Wadsworth.

The not-for-profit organization operating a temporary migrant shelter in Staten Island is facing criticism from local pols for allegedly ousting the residents of the former senior living facility earlier this year after they were told the site was up for sale.
A 95-year-old veteran was among the some 50 residents at Island Shores Residence at 111 Father Capodanno Blvd. who were displaced in March at the behest of the site operator, Homes for the Homeless.
A 95-year-old Korean War veteran said he was given less than two months’ notice to figure out where he was going to live after the nursing home he resided in was sold to become a facility for undocumented migrants.
(STATEN ISLAND, NY) - Today Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis (NY-11) joined New York State State Senator Jessica Scarcella-Spanton, Korean War Veteran and former Island Shores resident Frank Tammaro and other elected officials and representatives from local veteran groups in voicing outrage following New York City's shady and lucrative deal with Homes for the Homeless to turn Island Shores Senior Residences into a migrant shelter, forcing seniors, including at least eight veterans to leave their homes to house up to 300 migrants residing in our country illegally.
Frank Tammaro was one of the lucky ones.
When the owners of his former assisted living facility, Island Shores Senior Residence in Midland Beach, made it clear he was no longer welcome, Tammaro, 95, had a strong support system in place. After a brief stay at another senior living center, he now resides with his daughter, Barbara Annunziata.
