New York City saw Wednesday its largest number of migrant asylum seekers arrive at the Port Authority Bus Terminal since Texas Governor Greg Abbott began sending away the tired, huddled masses of people yearning to breathe free.
Arriving on bus after bus, hundreds of migrants stepped out of their transport and into the Big Apple. Hugging pillows and clutching clear bags filled with the little belongings they possessed, the men women, and young children were greeted by Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs (MOIA) Commissioner Manuel Castro and Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine before heading inside the bus terminal to receive medical examinations and food.
