New York handed out free phones over the weekend to hundreds of immigrants, many of whom are in the country illegally, after announcing that the city plans to enroll more than 1,000 immigrant students as Texas continues to bus immigrants to the metropolis.
NYC Health + Hospitals, the city’s hospital system, held an event on Aug. 21 in the borough of The Bronx to give phones, school supplies, food, library cards, and health care to immigrants. At least some of the immigrants who attended the event were bused from Texas to New York, the New York Post reported.
