Two more city migrant shelters have closed up shop as the flood of asylum-seekers into the Big Apple continues to plummet.
More than 400 families were being sheltered at the 19-story, 506-unit complex at 1760 Third Ave. at East 97th Street, once a massive dormitory for CUNY Hunter and Baruch College students and other education entities.
Meanwhile, the El Rancho hotel at 37-01 White Plains Road in The Bronx had served 15 families.
A representative from El Rancho said the hotel, which is now empty, will start renovations to prepare for reopening again as a commercial hotel.
It is unclear what the former CUNY dorm, now in private hands, might be used for.
More than 500 new migrants entered the city’s care from Nov. 11-17, but over 1,100 migrants left the system at the same time.
Those figures are in sharp contrast to the situation in January, when roughly 4,000 new migrant arrivals were flooding the city on a weekly basis.
Earlier this month, two other hotels serving migrants stopped operating as emergency shelters: the 23-room Hotel Merit in Times Square and the 73-room Quality Inn JFK Airport....

Not bad. But I suggest the far western Aleutian islands. One way ticket. Dump them off along with a pot to boil water, and a year's worth of frijoles.
Imagine the destruction wrought on the building over the years. It should probably be razed and rebuilt. And they can probably afford it after all the taxpayer money they must have raked in.
Renovate? Best to burn it to the ground and rebuild from scratch. Cockroaches, rats to bedbugs and every disease that was eradicated in this country, burn it.
Giving them incentives to self deport will help in this effort. Then we can deal with whats left over
