New York City considering housing asylum seekers at shuttered federal prison

NEW YORK - New York City wants to house migrants at a closed federal prison that once jailed mobsters.
That’s not the only location the city is considering as they struggle to find housing for thousands of asylum seekers.
So far, the city says it has opened more than 200 sites, including 13 relief centers.
Friday afternoon, the city said over 101,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the crisis began, and that number continues to go up.
“We have opened up 200 sites and we are out of space. Good spaces, OK spaces. These are spaces available. All options are on the table,” Deputy Mayor for Communications Fabien Levy said.
This is greatly ironic.
New York City is a sanctuary city.
New York’s mayor is a Democrat. The president is a Democrat. The Democrat president’s policies created this problem. The Democrat mayor of a sanctuary city is pleading with his own Democrat president to help deal with the problem created by the policies of a president of his own political party. Yet his city proclaims it is a sanctuary city, so theoretically they welcome any and all illegal aliens.
Democrats from top to bottom own this problem.
I wonder if they will blame any Republicans for this somehow.
In today’s NY Post, “NY threatens schools with legal action if they try to block or even hinder migrant students from registering”. Great, huh? They are the very definition of “glutton for punishment”. So incredibly brainwashed that they’d walk off a cliff, smiling.
This happys me
Residents are saying this is a giant "f-u" to SI - the closed school where the migrants are being bused to is city-owned property:
Kudos Gov. Abbott. SEND MORE!!!! If you need bus drivers holler!!!
