Work began in earnest Tuesday on a tent city in the parking lot of Bronx’s Orchard Beach designed to accommodate the overflow of migrants coming to New York from Latin America via Texas and other parts of the country unwilling to accommodate them.

It’s the first of the Humanitarian Emergency Response and Relief Centers to be constructed citywide in response to the migrant crisis. Tuesday morning saw workers erecting steel beams for the tent in Orchard Beach’s parking lot; by 1 p.m., the reinforced shells of two tents had already been completed.
