But Newburgh has not taken legal action, and the group of men were welcomed by local Democratic leaders and community organizations.
Felipe Cortez, 38, of Ecuador, said he understands that the locals fear having people they don’t know in their town, but said they are not looking to take anything from anyone — they are just looking for work. He said he was promised resources and a place to stay while they wait for permission to work. He volunteered to come, and so did all the people he traveled with, he said.
Acevedo said he would like to remind the community that the migrants here are simply looking for a better life for their families and themselves. He said he’s felt the racism outside the hotel from people passing by assuming that he is a migrant himself. Orange County Executive Steve Neuhaus said earlier this week that he simply wants answers and coordination with the city and state about who is coming to the county and when.
