Migrant crisis in New York City worsens as asylum seekers are forced to sleep on sidewalks
Since last spring, more than 95,000 migrants have arrived in New York City, according to the mayor's office.
The migrant crisis in New York City is reaching a breaking point, with some asylum seekers now being forced to sleep on the streets.
In midtown Manhattan, asylum seekers are sleeping on the sidewalks outside the Roosevelt Hotel, which is now a migrant processing center for city shelters.
Adrian Daniel Jose is among the dozens of people waiting to get services. Leaving his wife and three kids in Venezuela, the 36-year-old said the journey to the U.S. was dangerous.
He said he was robbed in Mexico, forcing him to cross the border with just the clothes on his back and a pair of taped-together glasses.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday said of the crisis, "From this moment on, it's downhill. There is no more room."
