Busloads of Uncertainty: A Statistical Smorgasbord
Here's the thing: pinning down an exact number is trickier than dodging a rogue pretzel vendor in Times Square. Estimates range from a whopping 180,000 (that's like adding a whole new mid-sized city!), according to some reports, to a slightly less eye-popping 118,000.
Why the discrepancy? Well, some folks might have hopped on a subway to New Jersey before anyone could count 'em, while others might be blending in so well they've become honorary Yankees already. The point is, there's a lot of movement happening.
They Came, They Saw, They...Strained the Shelter System?
Let's be honest, a sudden influx of people puts a strain on even the most resilient city. New York's shelter system is doing the Macarena to keep up, and some folks are saying it's high time for Uncle Sam to step in and lend a hand.
Tip: Take a sip of water, then continue fresh.
But hey, this isn't all doom and gloom! These migrants bring with them a whole lot of energy, skills, and maybe even some killer recipes (fingers crossed for some good tacos!). Who knows, maybe they'll be the next big thing on Wall Street, or the ones to finally convince New Yorkers that deep-dish pizza is an abomination.
