If you live anywhere in New York outside of the Big Apple and you’ve been watching the local news, there is one story absorbing most of the coverage and it involves busloads of migrants heading for suburban and rural counties. To say that people are unhappy about these developments would be an understatement, and that includes many self-described Democrats. But the state’s Democratic Governor, Kathy Hochul, appears to be tone-deaf on the subject, even as she attempts to put some political spin on the plans being cooked up by her and Mayor Eric Adams. On Monday evening, she appeared to lose her patience and told reporters that these rural counties need to “end their bigoted policies” and “accept” the migrants. (Daily Caller)
Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Monday that the New York City suburbs should end their “bigoted policies” and accept migrants.
Democratic New York City Mayor Eric Adams has begun sending migrants to suburban communities such as Rockland County, prompting many localities to declare states of emergencies. Officials in Rockland County have asked Adams not to send migrants to their area, calling the move “absurd.”
“There is nothing humanitarian about a Sanctuary City sending busloads of people to a County that does not have the infrastructure to care for them,” County Executive Ed Day said recently.
In order to try to lay a guilt trip on her own citizens, Hochul is portraying the migrants as “hopeful immigrants seeking work.” She described thousands of agricultural jobs that they could fill. She’s even demanding that the federal government issue all of them work permits.
Much like the Biden administration and most Democrats, New York’s Governor seems to be forgetting or simply ignoring Title 8 U.S.C § 1324. It is a federal crime to knowingly employ an illegal alien. But apparently, in the clown world that we now occupy under the Biden administration, such matters are simply minor inconveniences to be swatted away with a few comments about racist MAGA Republicans.
The mood around the state is clearly souring and the Democrats may wind up paying a steep price for this at the polls next year. This was never how the system was designed to work. Legal immigrants used to apply to come to our country and identify a family member or sponsor that could help them get established. They would then work and eventually be allowed to apply for citizenship.
The situation in New York and around the rest of the country looks nothing like that today. New York City’s sanctuary city policies completely collapsed the first time they were put to a serious test. And now they are trying to foist their problem off on suburban and rural counties without anywhere near the resources to deal with that many people. And yet again, I will remind you that these are people that should have been expelled from the country for violating our immigration laws, not refugees.
So if Hochul and Adams fail to force the migrants into rural hotels and school gymnasiums, what’s their next move? The Governor is considering moving them into airplane hangers at JFK airport. We’re coming up on Memorial Day weekend and the summer travel season. Where does she think the airlines are going to keep all of the planes? She needs to stop asking the Biden administration for funding or housing and tell the President to come pick up his migrants and send them back to their home countries.
Yup. Hochul is a special kind of stupid. I can’t stand her plastered on Nancy Pelosi face.
This woman is beyond evil.
She’s the daughter of the Devil.
Why is this nut Governor?
She’s a real treat.
Absolutely. Station the cops at the outskirts of the city.
“They shouldn’t be sent to college campuses as they have contemplated doing.”
I disagree. Those students voted almost 100% for these policies. They should get to what they voted for and they should get it good and hard.
L
Because Andrew Cuomo was forced to resign. The liberal inner cities of New York elect the governor, not the more conservative rural rest of the state where I live.
Every county I have looked at has issued only a temporary emergency order.
Looks to me like many, if not all, are just waiting for a price to be determined.
Call me cynical, but I think every damn one of those counties is just waiting for Deep State’s checks to clear.
“Aliens who apply for asylum must currently wait 180 days after their complete applications have been filed to be granted work permits.”
Haven’t heard if that time period been decreased.
I’ve been saying, for years, that these idiot politicians, on both sides, should just admit why they all turn a blind eye to illegal immigration. As usual, follow the money. Americans are not having enough children, and if the population declines, then the economy will tank. Since these politicians need campaign money, they need to appease their big corporate donors and keep the economy moving along. To keep the money flowing, they need for the population to continue to increase.
I’m sure the liberal, suburban white women will gladly accept the ivaders.
Migrants complete ALL of the paperwork and are greeted at the front door when they come in. Illegals walk or wade across and get a court date.
Many upstate counties don't have the facilities for "Extended Housing" for several weeks for migrants.
Many of these same counties are now, in their own county, legislatively requiring refusal to house migrants until long term housing can be provided.
Gov. Hochl mostly represents New York City interests and election base, rather than representing the whole State;
she doesn't even listen to her constituents in Buffalo which initiated her political rise to power.
One can only imagine what the migrant influx will have on NYC since there is no room for tourists - a major source of income and revenue for NYC.
Take ‘OUR’ illegal aliens “and like it?” When the hell did a bunch of freeloading, thieving drunken foreign bass turds become “our” illegal aliens? The bigoted Marthas up at the vinyard didn’t want them either? Seems weird for a ditzy, far-left, New Yawk bimbo to call the sacred Martha elitists a bunch of “bigots”.
And it’s not just gappening here, is it.

Note to the UK: You have the same problem we do. You are now controlled by your Deep State.
What you don’t have, and desperately need, is a Trump.
Out them all those office buildings in Manhattan that are supposedly empty because more people are working remotely.
NY could have had a Republican with the good of the people instead of the good of a commie agenda in mind. Instead, they (plus, I’m sure, a very liberal dose of voter fraud) voted for this crazed witch. She is absolutely nuts, just like many of her libtard counterparts across the country. Nothing but the destruction of the Empire State will result from her unwavering adherence to the commie agenda.
7 million new illegal aliens invaded the USA under Brandon. That is a lot of people. More than Costa Rica. More than Panama. 25% of Venezuela.
Nevermind the 20 million or more who were already here from the Obama years.
Ah the democrat party….the party of slavery and rebellion and Jim Crow
Such great folks
