One year on from when the first bus of migrants arrived in New York City, the city is desperately struggling to deal with the influx of new arrivals and asylum seekers, with no federal assistance on the way.New York Mayor Eric Adams announced a plan Monday to house as many as 2,000 migrants on an island in the East River where a migrant center was set up last year and then taken down weeks later.
"As the number of asylum seekers in our care continues to grow by hundreds every day, stretching our system to its breaking point and beyond, it has become more and more of a Herculean effort to find enough beds every night," Adams, a Democrat, said in a news release.The New York City Council has announced its decision to move dozens of adult asylum seekers to temporary shelters at the McCarren Recreation Center and the Sunset Park Recreation Center in Brooklyn.
The city has rented out hotels to house migrants and has placed people in locations including a cruise ship terminal and a former police academy building as tens of thousands of asylum seekers have arrived over the past year.'It's prison': Hundreds in Bushwick shelter go weeks without showers City officials announced a plan last month to house 1,000 migrants in the parking lot of a state psychiatric hospital in Queens.
