BREAKING: As another bus of asylum seekers arrives in NYC, Mayor Adams says Texas authorities are forcing people to come here, even if they want to go elsewhere
Because New York City has right-to-shelter laws, the city has an obligation to care for those migrants, no matter how they arrive or in what numbers. While critics say the shelter system is struggling for complex reasons that go far beyond the migrant situation, the mayor nonetheless has zeroed in on this issue and repeatedly called for more federal assistance.
On Sunday, taxis lined up near the Port Authority Bus Terminal bearing signs that said"Solidarity Forever," waiting to give migrants coming off that bus from Texas free rides to shelters and elsewhere. One cab driver said their union received a request from the city asking them to help out. "We are all immigrants," cab driver Mohammad Haque said."We are all, we come from different countries, different backgrounds. This New York City is open for everyone." Yet while the shelter system struggles to handle the new arrivals, part of the problem is also where those new arrivals are going in the first place. As News 4 has reported in recent days, perhapsin recent weeks with paperwork bearing erroneous or outright bogus addresses and phone numbers, directing them to shelter that didn't exist and leaving them wandering the streets. Federal authorities insist the migrants are themselves providing those bad addresses; aid groups adamantly deny that and say it's federal agents and officers giving people that misdirection., an asylum seeker was sent to New York City with paperwork that bore a fake address, and the officer signed the papers with what appeared to be a hand-drawn emoji of a face sticking its tongue out.was not aware migrants were coming to the city with erroneous paperwork in such numbers until News 4 asked him about it. In the meantime, the city's daily shelter census is lately running over 50,000 people a day, which is about 10% higher than it typically was in the early part of the year. Adams said those from Sunday morning's bus who want to stay in NYC are being taken to appropriate shelter intakes, while those who want to go elsewhere are getting help from aid groups to try and make their way there.
