This holiday weekend, Albany welcomed about 105 migrants who’d been bused from New York City to the capital.

Mayor Kathy Sheehan made an announcement about the first bus of “approximately 40 asylum seekers” that arrived in the city on Monday.
 
The Mayor indicated in her statement that the city welcomed the asylum seekers, and that they are staying in the Ramada Inn on Watervliet Avenue in Albany. But she did have criticism about the location New York City’s administration chose for the migrants.

“While we suggested several other hotels within the city of Albany, New York City has decided to contract with the Ramada Inn on Watervliet Avenue in Albany,” she noted in her statement.
