20 busloads of migrants turn up at NYC’s historic Roosevelt Hotel reopened as ‘asylum seeker arrival center’

The historic Roosevelt Hotel opened its doors to 20 busloads of migrants as an “asylum seeker arrival center” on Friday as New York City continues to grapple with an influx of migrants from the southern border.

An MTA bus loaded with men, women and children pulled up at the iconic building at 45 E. 45th St. shortly before 7 a.m. The new arrivals clutched brown envelopes and walked in single file.

Photos from inside the building showed the luxury interior covered in signs indicating areas for check-in and registration, as well as chairs with forms about emergency medical services.

The hotel, which first opened its doors in 1924, has been the backdrop for a string of Hollywood films — including “Maid in Manhattan,” “Malcolm X,” “Wall Street,” “The French Connection,” “The Irishman” and “Man on a Ledge.”

On Friday, guards from Mulligan Security were posted outside the building.

It is all good as long as the government is paying the bill.

20 busloads could be as many as 1,000. Good luck, Roosevelt Hotel.

They're using the taxpayer's dime.  We cannot sustain supporting ILLEGALS.  They will eventually collapse the economy.

STOP THEM AT THE BORDER. TURN THEM AROUND AND HEAD THEM BACK TO WHERE THEY CAME FROM!  9999hair out0000

How is the Roosevelt Hotel supposed to recoup the revenue lost???

Grand Center Terminal, get ready.   

Can you imagine what these places are going to become filled with ILLEGALS from Lord only knows where; thugs, rapists, murderers, gang members, terrorists, militants, etc.

They need to re-open the floating jail (barge). I think it would be a perfect place to house ILLEGALS.

Wasn't there a floating Covid hospital? Good enough.

So, how many minutes of an average Texas town’s average day do those 1000-1500 illegals represent?

I believe that was a military hospital ship.  Too good for ILLEGALS.

I tracked the bus load of Migrants that left from the Roosevelt hotel to an old NYPD Police Academy in Manhattan, NY. 100s of Migrants are being housed here.

The old NYPD police academy is literally three blocks from where we used to live in NYC, in Stuyvesant Town.  So glad we moved out of there years ago.

Wow. I can't imagine living in Manhattan right now, and I fear for my niece's safety (student at Cardozo).
