In a frantic search for more space to house asylum seekers, New York City officials are now once again considering building a tent city on Randalls Island. It's possible 4 soccer fields will be used to house 2,000 people. MKramerTV reports.
"All options are on the table for us right now," Deputy Mayor Anne Williams-Isom said Wednesday.Willliams-Isom admitted the city is once again considering erecting a tent city on Randalls Island, but this time they want to use four popular soccer fields on the southern part of the island.
When Chopper 2 flew over the island, the soccer nets were still up, ready for the the public and private school teams and various adult leagues that spend some 3,000 hours on the fields."I think when we originally did our tent in Randalls Island, that was probably 30,000 migrants ago and so we are here now trying to make sure that we look at all the options on the table," Williams-Isom said.
All of this comes as the city's inundated processing center at The Roosevelt Hotel hit capacity over the weekend, leaving hundreds crowded in pens on the sidewalk waiting for placement.
