We now move on to talk about the difficult situation experienced by many asylum-seeking families who this week have had to leave the shelter where they were located due to a municipal rule that came into force on Tuesday.
These families with children received a notification that has forced them to leave the shelter where they have lived for weeks, after a period of 60 days of stay.
Kim Corona joins us on this occasion to talk about this topic.
She is an activist and deputy communications director for the New York Immigration Coalition.
1. Kim, Mayor Adams announced the 60-day time limit on shelters last year stating that this would give these families the opportunity to seek other housing options. How do you evaluate this response?
2. In addition to the difficult situation that the children of these immigrant families face when changing homes and probably schools, how else, according to what you have been able to observe, are these families being affected? families?
3. Kim, from your organization, what are you asking the municipal government? What other options could be considered to assist recently arrived immigrants with housing?
4. And Kim, Mayor Adams is finally implementing, through executive order, restrictions on bus companies that transport asylum seekers to our city. He has established schedules and a specific place to drop off migrants as well as fines for companies that do not comply. How do you evaluate this position?
