New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Has the Green Light to Give State Jobs to Illegal Migrants

In President Joe Biden’s America, illegal migrants get a five-star treatment while law-abiding U.S. citizens take a back seat.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-N.Y.) is trying to fast-track her plans of getting illegal aliens at the front of the line for government jobs.

New York would be the first state in the nation to make it easier for asylum-seekers with work authorization to obtain government jobs. Hochul told Politico that she is “anxious to get this moving quickly.”

The Democrat’s administration is easing requirements for such jobs as, English language proficiency, education qualifications, and certification for more than 4,000 state government jobs. The long-standing requirement of needing to take the civil service exam and have a high school diploma for applicants to be considered has also been eliminated.

The goal of the proposal is to get illegal aliens into state jobs faster once they get approved work permits.

New York has seen more than 170,000 illegal migrants arrive in the state since 2022, overwhelmingly the resources and shelters. Under Hochul’s plan, state spending could increase by $500 million to $2.4 billion, resulting in the governor having to dip into a surplus fund.

“That’s the answer to this whole situation: Put them to work,” Hochul stated, referring to her hopes that work-eligible illegal aliens will help lessen the burden on the state.

However, Gil Guerra, an immigration policy analyst at The Niskanen Center think tank, told the outlet that it will only worsen the immigration problem in New York if it’s easier for them to get a job.

Hochul claimed that businesses across the state are begging her to put her proposal into motion that would allow them to hire illegal migrants.

“Hotel owners and restaurant owners coming to me: ‘Can you send some of the migrants up here? We need them.’ I hear this in every corner of the state,” she claimed.

....”Coming here to do jobs that Americans won’t do....” or words to that effect...said by one of our more dim-bulb American presidents some years ago...I wonder if when applying for a job with The Peoples’ Democratic Republic of New York you can take their Civil Service Commission test in any other language(s) than English...?? probably so.....

Does anyone in these far Left administrations ever say out loud “what is it we are trying to accomplish here” in a meeting? Because if I were in those rooms, I’d at least want to hear an answer from the boss for what is seemingly destructive policy. I can’t imagine every single person on these staffs is blind to the ramifications of these absurd policies regarding illegals.

I moved from Portland to Montana. Democrats have almost no impact on my daily life and our state government isn’t actively setting policies to screw over the citizens of this state.

So your response is to stay in your state that actively hates you as a Republican and is replacing you with non-citizens. They will take your tax dollars and give them to Juan and Habib and you willingly fund it.

All I see lately here on FR is “get out of NY” and also “Don’t come here”.

Are you leaving the United States? It is controlled by communist democrats who hate your guts and redistribute your tax dollars.

I live in a state where the Attorney General doesn’t go after people for purely partisan reasons. Enjoy New York! Doesn’t affect me and I’ll never visit that dump again.

They probably give the test in either English or Spanish.

If an applicant can’t speak either of those they can just skip the test.

I hope that black people are starting to see that they are the first
ones being replaced. They are no longer first in line for jobs, welfare
or special projects and the Dems don’t need their votes anymore.

There are nearly as many illegal aliens here, maybe more, than blacks.

The point that I’m an American citizen and moved from Leftist Portland to a conservative Montana city? You’re the one choosing to be governed by a governor who is a Fascist.
