   New York City will be converting a famed luxury hotel into a   
   shelter for homeless people and migrants seeking asylum in the   
   U.S., according to a Tuesday report.   
      
   The hotel, Row NYC, sits right in Times Square and will have an   
   undisclosed number of floors devoted to the shelter, according   
   to the New York Post. Staffers at the hotel say negotiations are   
   ongoing, but the refit is likely to be done within the next two   
   months.   
      
   The city government has leased out nearly a dozen hotels to   
   house the homeless population across the city. Row NYC, which   
   was formerly known as Milford Plaza, is by far the most   
   luxurious of the contracted buildings, however.   
      
   New York City has struggled for more than a year under a severe   
   homeless crisis, which migrant bussing has only exacerbated.   
      
   Democratic NYC Mayor Eric Adams has blasted Republican Texas   
   Gov. Greg Abbott for the bussing program, which has seen Texas   
   send dozens of busses full of migrants to Washington, D.C. and   
   NYC. Abbott argues the policies of those in power in DC and New   
   York are responsible for the ongoing border crisis.   
      
   "I already called all my friends in Texas and told them how to   
   cast their votes," Adams said during a press conference last   
   week. "And I am deeply contemplating taking a busload of New   
   Yorkers to go to Texas and do some good old-fashioned door   
   knocking because we have to, for the good of America, we have to   
   get him out of office."

   Abbott argues that NYC, a proud sanctuary city, should be   
   capable of housing the border-crossers.   
      
   "In addition to Washington, D.C., New York City is the ideal   
   destination for these migrants, who can receive the abundance of   
   city services and housing that Mayor Eric Adams has boasted   
   about within the sanctuary city," Abbott said in a statement on   
   Friday.   
      
   "I hope he follows through on his promise of welcoming all   
   migrants with open arms so that our overrun and overwhelmed   
   border towns can find relief," he added.
