The summary of the conversation revolves around the ongoing migrant crisis in New York City. The city is experiencing a significant influx of migrants, with an average of 10,000 migrants arriving in the city each month. The Roosevelt Hotel, a migrant welcome center, is serving as a filing center for migrants, helping them identify if they have applied for Asylum, qualify for work authorization, and get their paperwork in order. The hotel is also hosting migrant families as a shelter.
The city's response to the crisis includes the deployment of 150 National Guardsmen to help with the migrant crisis. This means that the total number of National Guardsmen helping statewide is up to 2200. 250 of these Guardsmen are now assisting with paperwork, identifying migrants who can legally work, and ensuring they have all their paperwork set in place to apply for work authorization.
The crisis has also led to tensions and protests. There were two arrests made over the weekend at the Roosevelt Hotel, which serves as a micro shelter for families of Asylum Seekers. There were also protests outside of a proposed migrant shelter at the Manhattan College in the Bronx. The protesters were against the opening of another emergency shelter, while there were also counter-protesters who were pro-migrant.
The city's mayor, Eric Adams, has been asking for federal help and has enacted a mandate that all single adult migrants can only stay in a shelter for a maximum of 30 days. Advocates are warning that this could lead to more migrants living on the streets, causing a host of new problems.
In the midst of all this, there have been incidents with the NYPD and there have been concerns about the congregation of people in public spaces, which could potentially deter businesses. The city has set up over 200 emergency shelters throughout the entire city, which is causing concern among many New Yorkers.
