Roosevelt Hotel becomes modern-day Ellis Island for NYC migrants
It was just over a year ago when the Roosevelt Hotel became New York City's intake cener for newly-arriving migrants. Since then, thousands hae passed through from over 100 different nations. FOX 5 NY's Morgan McKay got an inside look at their operations.

Immigrants don’t get insurance until they apply to certain immigration status programs. Many spend months without medical assistance. Public service assistance is available to residents. Someone else’s help is not taking away from something benefiting residents.

A luxury hotel in the most expensive part of the most expensive city in the country, instead of an island with shabby accommodations.

It’s totally like Ellis Island except for you know all the free medical care, housing, education, travel, legal services. Oh, and qualifying for public assistance, a photo ID, and drivers’ license. Also, providing an interpreter or translation everywhere for everything. Then there’s the taxpayer funded “non-profit” organizations & advocacy groups offering migrant assistance. Can’t forget the sanctuary laws and federal policies supporting mass migration. Ya know, now that I think about it, Roosevelt Hotel isn’t like Ellis Island at all. It’s almost like only an stupid person would say that

No, it’s not a new Ellis Island. People who came through Ellis Island entered the country legally. My ancestors entered the country legally, were properly documented and gained their U.S. citizenship.
a bad joke on tax payers and poor homeless citizens
I only have one question,,,,? How do they give a undocumented immigrants ID.

@@TedH. sounds right,
The BS propaganda is strong with this one.
Calling Rosevelt Hotel Ellis Island is like a slap in the face for all who have come to the US legally. Giving a room in a good hotel to all those illegals when Americans who fought for the country are homeless in the street is like kicking veterans in the ass. Shame on you, liberal, woke, and progressive voters.
FJB.
This was once a great hotel 😢
Go back!
Deport
The owner of the Roosevelt should just Abandon it & give it back to the bank he must be losing millions
What a disgrace FJB
Adams making money on migrants
New York is a brand. If any other brand had the same failure rate I'm pretty sure they'd have to stop selling their product.
That's really something because our own country won't take care of their own. They offer them everything and don't help our homeless vets.
I live in a shelter with Migrants and they have the following in common without fail: rhinestone manicures and authentic designer handbags, all at the expense of hardworking NYC Taxpayers. Smh
GROSS !
I just don’t remember having this many illegal immigrants 4 years ago.
Ellis Island had legal immigrants without disease.
Used in many movies, and our go to hotel when visiting Broadway. Sad😢
What’s the long term solution for them to get on their feet and fend for themselves will they live in a hotel and get free food and healthcare forever? It will take time to learn the language and learn a skill. The asylum cases won’t be heard for what another decade??
Enemies of the people.
It truly sickens me that non citizens and Non residents are given more attention than people who live here, And speak the local language.
Thats all these gov officials want..Federal $$🙄
I hope the federal government does not give them a dime!
This is crazy
These migrants dress very well! Their next shopping trip is on us! Bet they eat better than most of us hardworking people too!
Wow! It almost reminds me, this Roosevelt Hotel, of a place that not too long ago people called uhh 😬 TOURISTS! Yes, that’s it! Yes, they would pay their hard EARNED Dollars to visit NYC! You know on a vacation!!! Looks like that won’t happen again any time soon. Such Puntas!
why don't they spend $$$$ on your own homeless population ?
What about the US citizens?
Warm meals 24/7.... Hmmmm
This is rediculous to waste our resources on this non sense
NEW YORK BECAME THE RICHEST CITY IN THE WORLD BY FOREIGH TRADE, NOW ITS TIME TO MAKE UP
WHY ARE MY TAX DOLLARS GOING TO THESE PEOPLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GET THEM TF OUT OF HERE !!!!
Smh 🤦♀️
this is an old clip. Very old news.
THIS IS THE REASON WHY USA IS THE BEST COUNTRY IN THE WORLD
He said" hell Tel" ! Smooth 😎
"screened for depression" "ABLE to get vaccinated" AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
RIGHT - exact opposite. E.I. was screening newcomers to prevent a sick and dangerous people from entering to NYC.
Mirgrants helping mirgrants, job are created for bilingual people. What a joke nyc giving them open the doors and left others looking at this free handouts.
hope they still have this when I retired so I could get a free one way ticket to their country and lived their for cheap
Isn’t it owned by Pakistan?
They have probably already voted also..
