Scores of Venezuelan migrants in New York City are hopping on vans to head down to Florida for Hurricane Ian clean-up, they told The Post.
“They want us for hurricane cleanup, we’d get paid $15 an hour, overtime and $15 for food daily, I think,” said Javier Moreno, 37, noting that a woman named Camila “from an organization” approached him with a flier.
The migrants were leaving city shelters in droves to try to catch a ride — and garner work — down south.
One migrant woman said she learned of the vans and the potential work from group chats that the migrants are in.
“We all decided we would go,” she said.
Gregorio Avila, 22, said he came from Venezuela and entered the US through Texas before being bused to Gotham.
Texas officials have been sending thousands of migrants, who illegally cross the border before seeking asylum, to Democratic cities such as New York in protest over what they call President Biden’s dangerously lax immigration policies.
