Many of the asylum seekers arriving recently are families with small children. In fact, Mayor Eric Adams said 30% of the current asylum seekers are children. JessicaMooreTV reports.
As more busloads of asylum seekers pulled into Port Authority Bus Terminal Wednesday morning, one thing was clear: More and more of those seeking refuge in our city are children.
"Everything changes. We can't use the congregate settings because you have to protect children. You can't have them lined up on the sidewalk like we saw with the single adult males. You have to make sure they're in school and have all the school supplies. So it's just an entire new dynamic," Adams said. Adams said 18,000 children seeking asylum are enrolled in New York City schools. With the recent influx of families, he expects the number to grow.
