New York City will begin handing out flyers at the border to discourage more immigrants from reaching the Big Apple.
The flyers will be distributed to shelters and organizations throughout the country, including the southern border.
The announcement was made by the person in charge of the City’s Health and Human Services area, Ana Williams Isom.
“We are delivering these flyers to combat misinformation at the border and in the country’s cities, where people come,” he said.
“We want people to know that the City is not able to provide more shelter,” he added.
“People in our shelters are telling their families to come to the City, that they will have shelter and that they will be able to stay, and that is not possible.”
These are the flyers that NYC will deliver to immigrants

Asylum seekers are now receiving letters to leave shelters.
You will not be accommodated in a hotel. NYC is one of the most expensive cities in the world; It is better if you go to a more affordable city. NYC cannot help you obtain a work permit and it will not be easy for you to find a job.
