Migrant families could soon be housed in a former Manhattan College dorm in the Bronx as the Big Apple’s shelter system buckles under the surge of asylum seekers arriving in the city.
The Overlook Manor in Riverdale is now being considered as a shelter to help accommodate the 14,000 migrants arriving each month, The Riverdale Press reported Thursday.
The 7-story, 83-unit red brick building on W 238th Street was purchased by the Stagg Group earlier this year for $18 million — after Manhattan College renovated its on-campus housing and decided it didn’t need the extra space anymore, the local outlet previously reported.

The ironies are interesting.
We have a Democrat mayor of a sanctuary City , who is frustrated by the policies of his own Democrat president which has created this problem.
And the Democrat governor of the state with the Democrat mayor of a sanctuary City, is likewise frustrated with her own Democrat president, and his policies which have created this difficulty for their Sanctuary City.
Democrats are frustrated with their own Democrat president and the policies of the Democrat president that are causing such difficulties.
Hey if not heard yet hell they plan to blame any of this on Republicans. Maybe the Republicans will be blamed if they don’t pass emergency legislation to give emergency financial aid to New York City and other cities to deal with all of this.
You’ll smell it from here or there or anywhere

INVADERS

The only thing we should be doing is putting them on a plane and flying them back to their own country.
Plane?? Cargo ship would work better esp if shipped overseas
Remember that leftists are hypocrites.
You know what’s funny is that this was never considered an option for the existing citizens who have been homeless for decades. Only when the foreign infiltrators arrive, does the city get its ass in gear and magically finds food and shelter.
The regular season is almost over for Major League Baseball. They could put the illegal aliens in tents in Yankee Stadium until the spring.
So NYC will turn its’back on homeless New Yorkers to house illegal aliens?
Do these dorms have any gas appliances? May need an upgrade first.
yup, Covid gutted the cities, spewing dems or many rinos into the burbs and countrysides, now Biden is restocking the city ponds with more new dem voters.
What we say and what we do are 180 degree opposites.
To get what we need done we need machine guns on the border, not NGO lawyers.
And that’s not going to happen.
Elderly and Veterans kicked out of NY nursing home for IllegalAliens.
