The dire shortage of shelter space during the Big Apple migrant crunch has forced some asylum seekers out onto the street and into cars parked in plain view outside the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan — which one official dubbed “a new Ellis Island,” a new report said.

At least four migrants who said they were booted from city shelters were spotted sleeping in cars in recent weeks just feet from the hotel that serves as the city’s main intake site for thousands of asylum seekers from the US border, Gothamist reported Wednesday.

“There’s no place in the hotel,” Venezuelan migrant Hugo Rafael Ramirez, 22, told the outlet. “It’s full.”

Does anybody remember Arizona Sheriff Joe Arpaio? He housed inmates in the Arizona desert in tents, and fed them peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

How about we build a huge tent city out in the desert to house these 'refugees' until their adjudication dates for asylum, and they're not allowed to freely travel the U.S. until after their hearings have been resolved?

OK, that won't work, either, because there are literally millions waiting for up to 10 years for their hearing dates...

Agreed. Legally. And with a system that weeded out undesirables and sent them packing.

They were so proud to be in America. Never took a handout and did what they had to do.

What an insult to my great grandparents who came to Ellis Island from Italy. Spit.

First thought I had as well. My grandfather came here in 1905 and wouldn't allow my father and uncle to learn Italian so they'd be more American. To compare how he came from Italy in the hold of a ship as a 15 year-old and then spent his life working his butt off as a super in the Bronx with these illegals not migrants but illegals who don't have to answer questions, don't have to pass a health test, and don't have to work makes my blood boil. Only because of my respect for the boss am I not spewing every four letter word I know.

And, they are putting illegals in the grade schools and forcing the students to stay home and ‘learn’.

Won’t they be happy when the -30 weather hits next week- watch the city go all out to provide for them- at taxpayer expense of course.

So dumping them in the midwest, Texas, and South west is just fine, but once they end up in Yankeedom it is a horrible tragedy.

These perfumed liberals need to pay for their choices.
