US migrant crisis: Hundreds of asylum seekers sleep rough in New York

Hundreds of US asylum seekers have formed long lines outside a New York hotel that has been converted into a centre to help them.
The hotel has posted signs outside saying it is already at capacity.
But more people continue to gather as New York struggles with its flow of migrants to the city.
New York says it has provided services to some 90,000 migrants in the past year-and-a-half.
New York’s Mayor says his city needs help dealing with hundreds of migrants sent there from the southern state of Texas.

Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo spoke with some of those waiting to be processed who say this isn't the American Dream they were seeking.
