A fleet of buses carrying migrants reached the Port Authority bus terminal from the Texas border over the weekend and amNewYork Metro followed the process from arrival to departure as volunteers strove to welcome them amidst, in their words, little help from the city.
After a first fleet of buses arrived last weekend, more migrants were relocated to the Big Apple on Friday, Aug. 12 and Sunday, Aug. 14. New York’s newest residents waved from the vehicles’ windows as they pulled into Eighth Avenue and 42nd Street. While they were excited to be finally ending a grueling journey, many of them were frightened, confused, and even ill with COVID-19.
