New York City to open giant tent shelter for migrants being bused in from southern border states
CBSMAY 2022
This new facility will help New York City to humanely receive migrants that have been arriving from the southern border, allowing them to recuperate as well as reach their relatives. Unlike Southern Republican governors, who are causing this crisis by coercing migrants out of their jurisdictions, Democrats like Mayor Adams are working to support and assist these vulnerable people.
Though Mayor Adams has long denied favoring migrants, and has vowed not to divert resources away from New Yorkers in dire need of services, the opening of the Randall's Island shelter has clearly showed the contrary. Compared to the spartan shelters — which house homeless New Yorkers — migrants will enjoy an accommodation wonderland that includes laundry services, three meals a day, and video games, all at the expense of the US taxpayer.
