Mobs of migrants lined up outside a NYC processing center in freezing weather as some revealed they have been waiting a month for a bed.
The migrants had traveled from all over and ended up at a re-intake center for adult single migrants in the East Village.
A man from Mauritania revealed that he’s been waiting 25 days to get a bed, while others have waited even longer – without being offered any food.
He revealed that the conditions inside the shelters are dire. ‘Inside the shelter there are fights, people steal phones, people have knives and there is not enough food.
‘They need to close the border as there are too many (people) now.’

The man revealed that homeless migrants are forced to sleep on the streets or the subway because there is nowhere else to go. ‘People have to wait in line for a place in a warming site and it is not always possible.’

Robert, 27, who migrated from Peru via Venezuela said his journey to the U.S. took three months, and he left a wife behind in Peru.
He migrated to find work, but has only been able to work one day since arriving – which earned him $150.
Robert revealed that, despite having his work permits, he can’t score jobs because he never hears back from employers. He say that for every 20 jobs he applies for, he only gets two calls back.
Richard, 40, migrated from Venezuela to flee the repressive dictatorship in his country, where there was no food or opportunities.
He crossed from Ciudad Juarez to El Paso at the same time as the shelter fire which killed 39 in March.
Richard admitted that he slept for two weeks on the street in the Bronx because there was no shelter space available for him.

Yesterday – staggering new footage exposed the severity of New York City’s migrant crisis, with hundreds of people – mainly young men – lining up around the block for shelter in Manhattan.
The footage that emerged Wednesday shows the latest raft of migrants looking cold and miserable as they stood in a line that snaked around a building in the East 7th Street in the East Village.
One of the hundreds of men told a reporter that he is from Venezuela and had recently arrived to join up with other members of his family already in the Big Apple.
The alarming scene underscores Mayor Eric Adams’ own recent admission that NYC – proudly touted as a beacon of the Democrats’ ‘Sanctuary City’ policy – is now at ‘breaking point.’
Hundreds of homeless expats, mostly young and middle-aged African men, were waiting in line outside a church on East 7th Street in Manhattan’s East Village on Thursday, hoping to find a place to sleep.
Among them was Landry, 40, from Congo, who told DailyMail.com he spent his life savings of $9,000 traveling to the US, taking the difficult decision to leave his wife and 14-year-old son behind four months ago.
The military veteran had been hoping to land a job in construction but he’s been unable to find work in the city and ended up sleeping on the streets in sub-zero temperatures after shelters ran out of space.
Conditions in Congo were ‘terrible’ according to Landry, with frequent fights between ethnic groups and oppressive laws – but he said life in the Big Apple has been ‘even worse.’
‘It’s like prison here,’ he said, speaking in French. ‘It’s negligence. We have no access to food, toilets, or anything. Animals live better here – pets in the street are treated better than us.
