NEW YORK (77WABC) — A luxury hotel — The Row — in Times Square will reportedly become a shelter for as many as 600 migrant families bused from Texas — this according to a report from The New York Post.
The families were again bused in by Texas Governor Greg Abbott — as he seeks to highlight the Biden administration’s lax border policies leading to record numbers of migrants pouring across the U.S.-Mexico border. Part of the hotel will be converted to an intake center designed to house the migrants at a cost of more than $400 a night.
The hotel is expecting a group of migrants from the Department of Homeland Security within the month.
An Adams administration rep told The Post on Monday only that the city has extended its deadline for receiving bids from entities interested in operating the massive undertaking at the hotel “to get a range of responses.”
