Men waiting outside the city’s central intake center for migrants in Midtown on Wednesday said they had slept outside overnight, and some for longer, waiting for placement in the city’s crowded shelter system.

In recent weeks, some fortunate enough to get inside the arrival center in the Roosevelt Hotel at 45 E. 45th St. have only been offered accommodations upstate, including as far away as Buffalo, according to immigrant advocates.

Miguel Alejandro Rojas Quero, 26, from Venezuela, was in a line of over 30 people that at midday snaked around the block outside the hotel. Quero said the process for accessing shelter was inhumane, but added he had suffered worse on his journey to the U.S. He was among 10 or so men who said they had been waiting overnight.

“They tell us they are going to take us out of the city, that if we get shelter, they’ll give it to us out of New York City,” Quero said of the staff outside the hotel. “And that at this moment, there aren’t rooms, there isn’t space.”

Cities in Texas should be happy they've never had to share the kinds of problems and costs NYC has.  I don't know how Mayor Adams has maintained so well.

Roosevelt hotel in NYC: the City of NY provided MTA buses so the migrants could cool down from the heat. That's right, buses - idling in the heat, burning that nasty fossil fuel, polluting the environment, creating a massive carbon footprint, killing all of humankind - just to cool off some illegals.

The Roosevelt Hotel in NYC has 1,025 rooms.  So, I wonder how many if not all are being handed over to ILLEGALS. Certainly they could squeeze a couple of hundred into the ballroom.
