The ongoing surge of migrants to the Big Apple has forced the city to strike emergency deals with 14 hotels because the shelter system is overloaded amid President Biden’s border crisis.
Immigrant Affairs Commissioner Manuel Castro revealed the eye-popping total during a news conference at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan, where five buses arrived Thursday carrying migrants relocated by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — matching Wednesday’s record number of buses.

It's the new Mexico City of the northeast. Next, you will have street taco stands and a churro vendor on every corner.

Glad I dont own a hotel. Sure, full occupancy is a dream, but does the money earned offset the losses from theft and destruction? I bet not.

What's the problem? NYC is a sanctuary city, isn't it? Didn't they promise to love and nurture everyone whether they're illegal or not, criminal or not?

Be careful what you ask for, and be careful about making claims that you care when you don't. Ha! Ha! New York. Too bad for you. Do better with your politicians, then we might care what happens to you.

Well, when you watch NYC officials welcoming the illegal immigrants with smiles and handshakes more people from all over the world will be expecting to come to them. Isn’t it great to be a sanctuary city/state?

Hmmm... I cannot wait to book the same room that some slob occupied for months. The bedbugs probably have Covid.

Illegals never had it so good. I may head to Mexico, join a caravan and wade the Rio Grande to gain status. After all my corrupt government is oppressing the Schiff out of me.

Living in New York just might prompt these illegal immigrants to self-deport back to Mexico to, you know, look for a better life.

These 14 hotels and their legal guests face enormous fire risks once these illegals begin cooking meals in rooms without kitchens. Few illegals will be able to afford NYC restaurants, so they will resort to cooking on open fires in their free rooms, rooms with wall to wall carpets, drapery and other flammables. Or, does the City plan on covering the exorbitant costs of room service meals and beverages? This Biden directed invasion is not going to end well, what with 2 to 3 million more invaders each year Biden is president.

Texas, NYC has lots of room. Send them more. They need entertainment in NYC and the theaters aren't full so they should get free tickets to the Broadway plays. It will help them learn English. Ditto free meals at restaurants.

Hope NYC gets them tickets to some shows and dinner on the town, too.
At New Yorkers expense, of course.

What Biden and the Democrats are doing is boosting up the numbers of minority peoples in the USA who fit within the ethnic and racial categories of Democrat identity politics. Someday the wimpy Republicans with wake up and find that the majority population of the country suddenly consists of a vast coalition of socialist Democrat favoring minority peoples of both domestic and foreign origin.

Keep it up NYC. In a month or so Texas won't have to pay for the bus tickets.

Do your fair share, NYC. You have 2.6% of the total US population, so you should be able to handle 2.6% of the illegal immigration. 2.6% of the 2 million people estimated to have crossed the US southern border in the past year is 52,000 people, BTW.

Since May, more than 6,000 migrants have sought shelter from the city, including at least 750 on the buses Abbott said he began sending here earlier this month...
Someone needs to ask the mayor or Castro or Jean Pierre how the other 5,250 managed to find their way to the Big Apple.

While you're giving free hotel room to every illegal wall climber crossing the southern border.
Do something honorable to the veterans that have left arms and legs in the Middle East and are now forced to live on our city streets. Give them a furnished hotel room and food, help the honored to come in off the streets.
