Randall's Island shelter in NYC opens as temporary processing center for migrants arriving from border states

Tent shelters built on New York City's Randall's Island will open their doors to migrants on Wednesday.

The center is intended to be a temporary waystation for single men who were bussed into the city from southern border states.

The tents include cots for up to 500 people, laundry facilities, a cafeteria, phones and entertainment centers.

More than 18,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the Big Apple since the spring, putting a major strain on the city's homeless shelter system.

Is this location far from the tent city that was erected to assist homeless veterans?

Let's hope they are nice warm tents. Winter's a coming.

Do the regular homeless shelters get all these amenities?

Interesting. By segregating these people on this island, they are totally restricted from movement. Only 3 bridges on/off which can be easily monitored. Too dangerous to swim it. Basically, a plush concentration camp. Keeps them out-of-sight from the NYers.

Dems are very good at that.

They perfected them in World War II.

Shame they don't treat homeless vets that fell on their asses that well.
