Are the caravans of migrants coming from S. America going to be housed in NYC? (New York: to live, bill) - New York City - City-Data Forum

So with Hondurans now walking over the USA border, where are they going to live once they get here?

Is there any data about if NYC is going to fit the bill and give those migrants sanctuary in New York City?

Are they migrants, or is there a different term for people who push through the borders in huge groups?

They are probably going for California- sanctuary cities, good weather, good benefits, and already like 50% hispanic

Honduras is not in South America

And to answer your question, no. There are only like 5000 of these people, if they even get in they would spread throughout the country and not make a dent in any city.

You really expect these people to make their way all the way to NYC?
Most of these people probably don't even know what cold is much less snow. But we could always use some more Mickey and Minni walking around times square in smelly costumes....

Im looking forward to those fine females from Guatemala to make their way here....

And I would hope they not choose a city with some of the highest rents in the whole country.

I see them staying with family in Texas, if they even get in.

The caravan is still 1,000 miles away from any U.S. entry point.

What makes you say they are "now walking over the USA border"?

Quit watching Fox!

This is silly, the whole thing. It's going to be a California problem if it becomes a problem, maybe Texas. I'm also confused, are they expecting to just be able to cross into the US and live here?

Sanctuary city doesn't mean open to immigrants or any special protections or benefits, only means the police will not inquire about your immigration status, because it's not their jobs and in NYC, don't know anywhere else, they are busy with actual criminals and can and will take help from wherever they can get it.
