I can't blame them, I always wanted to live in Manhattan but with studios being 3k, I couldn't afford it. If I had a free hotel room, and didn't have to stress about food and rent, I would be kicking and screaming, that's a sweet freaking deal. Some Americans can't even afford to stay in midtown unless they have six roommates living with them. But with that said, idk how they expect these people to get out of the system in NYC. You need 40 times the rent, a high credit score, and proof of work history/income to actually live here. I know some are doing uber eats but thats not going to get you a 3k a month studio, and I'm not sure if roommates would even take that risk. I really don't see how these people will survive if they kick them out into the real NYC, and I think they know that, which is why they're fighting everyone about it, even other migrants with kids. It's every man for themselves at this point..

Edit: Then you have to think about their education. Will they have a good enough education to get a good job or will they be working 5 minimum wage jobs to make their skyrocketing rental payments. They should honestly be sent to a low cost of living state just to build work history, income, and possibly a saving, that's extremely hard to do when working minimum wage in NYC. Everything is high here.
