As of this week, 98,400 people were being housed in city-run shelters — a population roughly equal to the size of Albany, according to City Hall’s latest headcount.
In the last month alone, 13,000 migrants have been processed solely at the historic Roosevelt Hotel ever since it was repurposed into an asylum seeker welcome center.It costs roughly $385 a night to put up a migrant family in one of the city’s shelters, officials said – meaning the asylum-seeker crisis is setting taxpayers back about $7.9 million every day.
Hizzoner has repeatedly lashed out at the current administration for not doing more to help stop the flow of immigrants into the Big Apple, saying the influx has “destroyed” Gotham. “They want help in mopping up the floor instead of turning off the faucet and the faucet is going strong — despite the Biden administration’s claims.”
The steady stream of migrants was evident outside the Roosevelt Hotel on Thursday afternoon with asylum seekers coming and going.“Everything is good. The communication, the help — everything,” Venezuelan mom, Elba Castro, told The Post.
