If you are in New York, and especially in Manhattan, try not to miss this opportunity to get to know and clarify your doubts about your life as an immigrant in the United States.

For him Wednesday October 4from 4 p.m. (4 p.m.) you have a special appointment: the office of Manhattan Borough President Mark Levine will host the free immigration workshop Know your rights! focused on the migrants.

The activity will be carried out with the support of the organizations NY Legal Assistance Group, the Mexican Coalition, CUNY Citizenship Now and the Mayor’s Office of Immigrant Affairs, Telemundo 47 reported.

New York has 400,000 jobs available for migrants and the United States National Guard will handle every case

What they will analyze in the workshop

Participants can “learn about topics such as asylum applications, deportation (removal procedures), U visas, T visas, Temporary Protected Status (TPS), Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJs) and immigration fraud,” half described.

Where will it be? The workshop will take place in the Community Center Frederick Douglass: 885 Columbus Avenue, NY, 10025.

This is New York’s new strategy to limit migrants’ stays in shelters to 30 days and stop saturation

Immigration in New York

Over the past year, through September 2023, more than 100,000 migrants had arrived in New York City.

After crossing the southern border, The New York Times explained, “thousands headed to New York with the help of Texas officials.”

Last week, New York launched “a new campaign of billboards at the southern border of the United States and in shelters in the metropolis and other parts of the country to discourage immigrants from going to that city.” One of the messages of that campaign is: “New York is one of the most expensive cities in the world; “It’s better to go to a more affordable city.”

This free workshop, titled Know your rights!represents an excellent opportunity to obtain information – as they call it ‘on the ground’ – about the reality of the migrant in that city, about ongoing immigration cases or about immigration issues.
