"Gov. Hochul Takes Action to Secure Borders and Create Jobs for Asylum Seekers"
New York Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, called on Congress to "limit" who crosses the border, stating that it is currently "too open." Hochul criticized Republicans for complaining about migrants while refusing to work with President Biden on a sensible border strategy. She emphasized the need for comprehensive immigration reform and called for more controls at the border. Hochul's plea comes as New York City has seen over 125,000 newly arrived individuals, prompting concerns about the strain on resources. Critics have accused Hochul of changing her stance on immigration, as she previously encouraged people to come to New York as a sanctuary state.
