• Video showed the migrants taken to the makeshift tent city at Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn Sunday 
• However, they immediately demanded to be taken back, with several having said that they were not warned where they were even being taken by officials 
• Some of them were set to go back to the swanky Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, where the city has been processing the influx of migrants 

Furious migrants are refusing to stay in tent shelters set up for them in New York City - at great expense to the taxpayer - as they prefer their plush hotels in Manhattan.

A group of asylum seekers were seen being bused to Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn on Sunday. The site, part of a national park located in southeast of the New York City borough, is expected to hold 2,000 people.

But they were immediately loaded on a bus back to Manhattan as they complained that they had jobs back in the city - and their kids had schools to attend.

Jaime Williams, a New York Assemblywoman who represents the district where the field is located, sounded stunned as she filmed the puzzling scene. The migrants are seen getting off the blue Metropolitan Transportation Authority bus, walking past the main entrance of the tent, before walking straight onto another bus.

When Williams questioned one of the officials about what had just gone on, he told her that he would explain after she turned off her camera.

One migrant said he was going to head back to the Roosevelt Hotel - which has been commandeered by the Democrat mayor - while another told the New York Post: 'My kids go to school in the Bronx. For us to live out here is ridiculous.'
