Hundreds Of Migrants Sleeping On Street Outside Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has warned that there’s no room in the city as hundreds of migrants sleep on the street outside Manhattan’s Roosevelt Hotel for a second day in a row.

Asylum seekers from a number of South American and African countries have been lining the streets and sleeping on carbdboard boxes rough because the migrant hotel has reached its capacity. 

The number of migrants continues to rise as buses from southern states arrive in the city, a result of policies that have caused thousands of asylum seekers to overrun the US-Mexico border. 

The Mail Online reports: New York City currently housing more than 56,000 migrants across around 200 makeshift sites – while thousands more are in the city’s shelter system. But buses keep arriving week-on-week transporting people from the border. 

The Roosevelt Hotel, which was shuttered three years ago, is one of several hotels that have been transformed into emergency centers as the city struggles with an influx of migrants.

New York is bound by a decades-old consent decree in a class-action lawsuit to provide shelter for those without homes.

As a result, the Roosevelt Hotel and others have become hubs for refugees – within walking distance from Times Square, the World Trade Center memorial site and the Empire State Building.

Over the weekend, the migrants were handed small red tickets with digits on them – and once in a while hotel workers would come out and call numbers to let people inside the air-conditioned lobby. 

Others, desperately pushing closer to the front to get inside, were left to wait outside in the New York City heat. 

The desperate people looking to get inside the hotel early on Tuesday morning were speaking a number of languages, including Spanish, French and Arabic. 

Mahmouth, a migrant from Diungame in Senegal, has been waiting on the streets of New York City for five days, desperate for a spot to rest his head.

He told DailyMail.com: ‘We’re night and day here. I don’t know what’s going to happen now.’ 

Sahi Khalil, from Mauritania, arrived in New York two months ago, before being transferred to Ohio and moving back to the Big Apple. He was living in the Magma Hotel in Queens before being thrown out.

He told DailyMail.com from the line on Tuesday: ‘They moved all of us out – they said they wanted to move a family in.’

Khalil was then put into one of the city’s shelters but has tried his shot at getting into the Roosevelt Hotel. 

He added: ‘My friends said they’ve been here 3 days. They slept here on the street for three days. I want a better life. I wish them a better life. We are suffering in our country.’

When asked why he wants to migrate to the US, he said the country is a ‘place of freedom and dignity.’  

Eric Adams said in a statement on Monday: ‘Children and families continue to be prioritized and are found a bed every night.

‘While we at least offered all adults a temporary place to wait off the sidewalks last night, some may have chosen to sleep outside.

‘And, in all honesty, New Yorkers may continue to see that more and more as hundreds of asylum seekers continue to arrive each day.’

Many have now spent two nights sleeping on the streets of New York, after being dropped off on buses from the southern border in Texas. Unless they are inside the hotel, many have been refused entry to use the restroom inside.

One migrant, named Mary who traveled from Venezuela, told The City that she was in floods of tears after hotel workers refused her use the restroom at 2am. She wandered the streets looking for somewhere else to use the toilet. 

A group of men, from Chad in Africa, huddled around a gutter to wash their feet before praying in the line on Saturday amid their long wait to get inside. 

The long line of migrants hail from many different countries – including Venezuela, Ecuador, Sudan, Mauritania, and Senegal.

  1. Solution is very simple: give the Migrants an airplane ticket back along with $5,000, telling them if seen again they’ll be killed.

    • no doubt your ancestor’s invaded and murdered to secure your sense of entitlement to think your in the right Im sure the native North American indians would love to see you sent back to England or wherever your mob came from as immigrants armed with the crown laws permission to simply murder them to steal their country from them

  2. They shouldnt be allowed to discriminate based on family values at all. That’s absurd when families are the problem. But they want their cake and to eat it too. They want families full of little ones needing milk formula and disposable nappies and vacci ationd and brainwashing and conditioning and hopefully gender reassignment and then medication for life.. A mortgage credit card and debts and with the ability to work and buy babies. 3

  3. These migrants are here for a reason.
    Trump is indicted for a reason.
    We should all know why so many military age men are crossing the borders now.
    What use they will serve the powers that be.
    The left is attempting to create a civil war, it will all be a scripted hoax, so they need mercenaries from foreign nations to be the actors in the civil war hoax.
    Actors who won’t mind killing and terrorizing american citizens,
    Foreign Actor/civil war soldiers, who are being paid to destroy the constitution and all our civil rights, and will not care if they do.
    Much like the Syrian Civil war, when the Syrian people were attacked by people who spoke a language the Syrians had never heard before but were supposedly the “civil war fighters”.
    Expect the Bolshevik and Chinese communist revolutions to be the new normal for the USA.
    They will destroy our freedom and bring down the US military style in a war that will be a posing as a civil war fought by patriotic Americans, people on the right, Christians and Trumpers.
    But it will all be a giant fraud.
    Get ready for the concentration camps and the death squads.
    Of course as in all wars, they want the children for the adrenochrome ritual to give themselves the powers of Hell.
    These Illuminati feed off of what happens in Hell, even when it happens here on earth, and it is called war.
    Make no mistake you proud Americans are all about to find out the truth: War is HELL on earth.
    Maybe it will convince you that you were wrong, being so proud of your endless wars.
    This one will be the last war on earth.
    Civil wars will spread all over the earth and ignite into one final war: Armageddon.
    Once you accept the CBDC’s and have no physical money, the civil war will come to strip you of everything, your food, guns, your homes, your children, and all your assets and valuables, which must be given up and confiscated for the use by the military to defend your nation.
    But that excuse for stripping you naked of all you once had will just be a part of a big con game that will end the USA forever.
    You are all being manipulated by the Illuminati, the best con artists on earth.
    They hire actors and they pay them to do whatever evil and theft and destruction of the masses they wish to accomplish.
    They can do it, because they own all their privately owned central banks.
    They create all the currencies world wide.
    They run the economy any way that suits their evil agendas.
    They own the world and their utopia, their version of heaven is all of you in HELL, being lorded over by them. They feed off of the evil, dark energy of torture and sadism.
    Make life impossible in South and Central America, using their control of the economies and they provide themselves with an army to fake the next American Civil war.
    China and Russia will show up as if they are your saviors from it all, and that will also be a big lie.
    It is all carefully pre planned by con artists supreme: the Illuminati, who serve Lucifer.

    • Rubbish They’re in America and Europe because its better to sleep on the streets there than to live in the stinking corruptions that are south America Mexico.And none of the media are allowed to ever say it .

  4. Winter is coming mayor assho. Let them sleep in your mansion, cuddle up to them and tell them bedtime stories about picking cotton when you were a little boy, or whatever your pronoun was at the time.

  5. Take every single one of these people and put them on the doorsteps of democrats. You will see the virtue signaling of democrats melt in the sun as these people are on the summer streets of NYC.
