Too many migrants, New York suspends the right to a roof

(ANSA) - WASHINGTON, MAY 11 - New York has reached the limit of hospitality for migrants and Dem Mayor Eric Adams temporarily suspends with an executive order already in force an old rule that guarantees anyone who needs it "the right to a roof" by the same night and, in the case of a family, the right to private rooms with bathroom and kitchen, avoiding gatherings. The turning point comes in view of the feared wave of migrants at the border with Mexico after the forfeiture today of Title 42, the emergency measures for covid. Up to 1,000 migrants now arrive in New York every day, New York City mayor's chief of immigration services, Manuel Castro, has revealed. The current count of migrants who have landed in the city since last spring is at 61,42 people, he explained, but with the end today of 'title 12' it will skyrocket "unless something changes". In his opinion, in fact, "a good part" of the illegal immigrants who cross the border could end up in the five districts of the City. "It's hard to know how many of them will be taken by bus to New York, but it could be more than 000,<>," he said.
New York is one of the Democratic cities targeted by Republican governors of southern states, who have sent dozens of buses full of migrants. Emergency solutions being considered by city officials include tents in Central Park and a converted hangar at John F. Kennedy Airport. (ANSA).
