Prostitutes solicit from pedestrians, including teens, and desperate migrants sell food and clothing items, making one area in Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s district look reminiscent of a Third World country than a prosperous American neighborhood.
Fox News showed a video of the once-vibrant towns of Corona, Jackson Heights, and Elmhurst in northwestern Queens turning into a huge flea market with overflowing trash on street corners and other filthy conditions.
Roosevelt Avenue, the main drag in the neighborhood, has grown notorious for prostitution to the point that videos promoting it in the area have gone viral.
At all hours of the day and night, the prostitutes escort their customers to improvised brothels. They often congregate outside grocery stores. Prostitution is illegal in New York.
Ramses Frías, a resident of the area, walks briefly around two streets to provide video insight into the situation. It depicts a seemingly unending parade of street sellers selling shoes to pots, toys, and Clothes scattered on the ground.
Locals consider this market to be in the third world, according to Frías (43). They just set up shop outside of legitimate companies, selling goods that have been stolen. They refuse to pay taxes and block sales to businesses. They suffer no consequence.
The report shows that the footage was shot at the edge of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s 14th congressional district. Shekar Krishnan, Jessica González-Rojas, Steve Raga, Catalina Cruz, and Congresswoman Grace Meng are among the “progressive” lawmakers representing the area.
During a weeklong operation in January, the New York Police Department (NYPD) raided twelve brothels that were masquerading as massage parlors and were operating in horrific environments.
An inflow of illegal migrant female Venezuelan nationals who are trying to find jobs is Mayor Eric Adams’ excuse for the development of prostitution in the area.
In an effort to regain control of the streets, Frías, who was formerly a Democrat, has decided to run for the Assembly District 39 post as a Republican. He is driven by his growing anger at the current state of affairs.
