(New York, NY) — Busloads of migrants from the Texas-Mexico border continued to roll into the Port Authority over the weekend. Some of the migrants aboard have been sent to the Roosevelt Hotel, which shut down during the pandemic. Charitable organizations helping the migrants are applauding the move to use the hotel as a processing center. Migrants are also now being housed in a number of schools in Brooklyn, including PS 189 in Crown Heights. Parents there say they want to know about who the migrants are, and if they will be kept away from students. Still more migrants were sent to a Ramada hotel in Yonkers. Lawmakers there say there were never alerted that busses were coming their way. City leaders say more than four-thousand migrants from the US Southern border have been sent to New York City over the last week.
