A cruise ship terminal is likely to be the next stop for New York City’s migrants after they’ve been locked out of various Big Apple hotels.
Mayor Eric Adams announced that the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal would open Monday and house about 1,000 single adult male migrants.
The migrants were ferried across the city from a tent shelter on Randall’s Island to various hotels. They will now head to the terminal starting Monday morning.
All these young men of fighting age are upset, but another option exists. They can go home. The media calls them asylum seekers, yet, only a small percentage are asylum seekers.
The men were taken to a shelter in Red Hook, but some returned to the Watson and demanded rooms. Families can still stay at the Watson.
There was a mini-riot outside the Watson hotel where Mayor Adams has been housing migrants. The location is being changed from housing single men to housing migrant families, so the men are being moved elsewhere and are not happy about it. They are sending them to Red Hook. They are getting directions from far-left groups.
#Migrants are camping outside the Watson Hotel. Activists tell me those who initially went to the Brooklyn Cruise Terminal came back and told others the conditions were bad, but this hotel won’t let them back in. Community members have donated food and tents. @1010WINS pic.twitter.com/iaZhXP7rTW

Go home.
After being bussed to the BK Cruise Terminal, some single adult men asylum seekers have returned & set up ⛺️ outside the Watson Hotel, their former shelter. Migrants & activists, say because of “poor conditions” at the cruise terminal they do not want to stay there. @NY1 pic.twitter.com/j6rHxO4rCN

No, go home.
It’s 5am, and a banner reading “Hogares permanentes – Cancel rent!” hangs on the scaffolding outside the Watson Hotel, as residents continue to hold space outside the hotel to advocate against being moved to a cruise terminal full of cots and absent personal space. pic.twitter.com/Qc4t5BOI0w
