New York City May Turn To Cruise Ships To House Migrants - NBC News

[TexasTowelie]

This weekend's seemingly endless string of buses is putting a staggering strain on America's largest city. According to New York’s Mayor, an estimated 12,000 migrants have been bused north to New York since May. A city of more than eight million is now considering turning cruise ships into housing. Recent transports to areas like Martha’s Vineyard were openly spearheaded this week by republican governors in Texas, Arizona, and Florida.

3. Cruise ships...why not?

There are plenty of rooms. Kitchens need cooks n personnel y n these folks can take care of that as well as keeping the ships clean n functioning. There are plenty of rooms for the kids to have classes n learn English..the parents, too, so their time can be beneficial for all of them. Tutorial lessons n lawyers can use the meeting rooms to educate and get them on the path to citizenship, if they want. Why just have all these resources and not take advantage?
