NEW YORK — Buses packed with migrants from the Southern border rolled into the Port Authority Bus Terminal on Monday as a second wave of asylum-seekers heads to New York City.
The influx has prompted Mayor Eric Adams to issue a dire warning that New Yorkers should brace for a strain on city finances and potential reductions in public services, with more than 1,000 new migrants expected to arrive weekly.
Two buses arrived just after 6 a.m., and two more pulled into the Midtown bus terminal to applause from volunteers shortly before 1 p.m., with around 250 migrants arriving in total. Most of the migrants were men and women, with a few young children.
