Hundreds of migrants — at least some bussed to the Big Apple by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — lined up outside Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx on Sunday to get health care coverage, food and other items including school supplies and free phones.
The event, organized by the city hospital system, was billed as a “resource and family fun day” for the migrants and their children, many of whom have come to New York City in droves in recent weeks.
“I came to New York about three days ago. I am a welder, and I am looking for work here,” Venezuelan refugee Adrian Medina, 32, said through a translator.
A fellow Venezuelan, Luis Quintana, 48, said he came to the event “to get an ID and health insurance” after arriving in the city from Texas on Friday.
A couple and their two children, also from Venezuela, were waiting patiently in line in the hope of getting legal assistance to help them stay in the US.
“We came here today looking for help from a lawyer for political asylum,” the mother, Sandy Gonzalez, 36, told The Post. “We came to get help with immigration.”
Gonzalez said she had been staying at a shelter in Brooklyn since stepping off a plane from Texas in early July with her husband, Argenis Ramirez, 40, and their children.
A rep for Medicaid provider MetroPlusHealth, which co-sponsored the event, said it expected about 1,200 migrants, mostly children, to attend.

Outstanding! Send more!
Wheres the line for American citizen veterans ???
whose ID did they get ???
"Free" sells. And then finally bankruptcy ensues.
Amerika! The Land of the Free Sh*t!
I agree . Send more. NYC is Mecca for immigrants.
Great, I’ll have to pay for their education and healthcare. We really need to send these folks back and tell them to get in line.
NY Post ran a sob-story last week about a pregnant “migrant” arriving from Venezuela (i could be wring, but I’m pretty sure it was Ven.)
Never once was a father mentioned.
That’s what they voted for. Give it to them, New York!
Health insurance, wow.
“billed as a “resource and family fun day” for the migrants and their children, many of whom have come to New York City in droves in recent weeks”
And billed as “being financially violated day” by citizens.
This is a boon for NYC. They lost a lot of money due to lower child enrollment in schools. Add the 1200 kids, takes away some of the loss in the budget.
Dem migrants are just migrating to the free food/money.
Noting new.
Round 'em up and ship 'em home. Trump will work on that in his second term.
Enjoy the suck!
Yep, here come the cries for more teachers, smaller class sizes, higher taxes "Because it's for the Kids".
Illegal aliens starting out their lives of grifting and entitlement.
Deport them all, no exceptions.
