I heard the VIP is open again but I have not been over there to substantiate what I was told.

Seeking asylum and work, migrants bused out of New York City are met with hostility 5/24 Mohamed is one of about 400 international migrants the city has been putting up in a small number of hotels in other parts of the state this month to relieve pressure on its overtaxed homeless shelter system. Some of the relocated asylum seekers say they now regret leaving the city, pointing to a lack of job opportunities and resources to pursue their asylum cases, as well as a hostile reception. “It’s better in New York City,” Mohamed said. “There, no one cursed at you and said, ‘Go back to your country.’” Republican county officials there have accused New York City of dumping its problems on its neighbors, while insinuating that the new arrivals pose a danger. Meanwhile, some who joined the initial wave of relocations have since returned to New York City’s shelter system. Those who don’t have money for transportation, such as Mohamed, say they are stuck. “It’s like the desert,” lamented Mohamed, who studied law and taught himself English in Mauritania. “There’s nothing here for us.” Some asylum seekers described a sense of being lured upstate on false pretenses, saying outreach workers described local economies in need of off-the-books migrant labor. Instead they have suffered a stream of harassment. “There are people driving by pretty constantly in big pickup trucks telling them to go back to their country,” said Amy Belsher, an attorney for the New York Civil Liberties Union, describing a phenomenon also witnessed by an AP journalist.

NYC school uses crossing guard, food workers, 5-year-olds to translate for migrant kids May 23, 2023 A Queens school became so overwhelmed with migrant kids last week that it grabbed a Spanish-speaking crossing guard off the street, cafeteria workers from the food line — and even 5-year-old students — to help translate in classrooms, staffers and parents told The Post on Tuesday. Administrators at PS 31 in Bayside were given mere hours to prepare for the nearly four dozen, newly arrived migrant children who came to the school over two days to be enrolled, the sources said. The influx was too much for the school, which has only two “English as a New Language’’ teachers on staff. American students, after being pawns of the teacher's unions for two years, now must forgo their education once again so that all education resources are directed to addressing the needs of illegal immigrants. Thank the Democrats for throwing American's children under the bus.....and then driving over them!

NYC not providing showers at migrant ‘respite centers,’ raising right-to-shelter concerns from advocates New York Daily News May 23, 2023 several migrants housed at one of the sites, a vacant office building on W. 31st St. in Manhattan, told the Daily News on Tuesday they’ve been there for nearly a week, sleeping on narrow cots. Among them were Victor and Marimar, a Venezuelan couple who said they have been sheltered at the W. 31st St. location since they arrived in New York five days ago. The couple, who only gave their first names, said there are no showers on site, and that they have not been able to properly wash for nearly two weeks, as they were on the road for six days before getting to New York from the Texas border. The couple said most asylum seekers staying at the facility, which used to house Touro College, wash themselves by filling up bottles from bathroom sinks and pouring the water over their heads. Leudel, another Venezuelan migrant staying at the ex-Touro site, said he hasn’t showered for weeks or gotten any assurances from the city about when he’ll be moved to another shelter. “I haven’t been able to shower in a month, from the detention center, bus and this place,” he said in Spanish, referencing his journey to New York. “I don’t know when I will leave here.” Goldfein said the lack of shower access at the other respite centers is “very concerning” from a legal perspective.
