Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand wants to help solve the Big Apple’s shelter crisis by relocating newly arrived migrants to upstate cities — which could use the population boost to qualify for pork-barrel federal funds as she seeks reelection, The Post has learned.
Gillibrand (D-NY) has floated the idea to City Hall and discussed it with Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday during a closed-door meeting in Washington, a source familiar with the matter said.
The senator has also contacted Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office to seek her support, a second source told The Post.
City Councilmember Gale Brewer (D-Manhattan) confirmed Gillibrand recently pitched the idea to her as well.
“She told me that arrangements could be made for housing assistance, childcare, school assistance and working,” Brewer said. “She seemed to feel this is a solution for some who might want to go.”
Gillibrand’s plan, if successful, could help the Albany native bring home the bacon to struggling locales as she looks ahead to a likely re-election bid in 2024, a DC source close to the senator said.

good idea 🤡
Brilliant.
;-)
Works for me
not so good for the upstaters.
Well, yes - it will drive out the productive and replace them with the non-productive. No net population gain, but much lower tax revenues. Has to be a Democrat plan... )
Funny we didn’t anticipate that this would happen in our coming confrontation. The first Civil War had disagreements and legal wrangles over runaway slaves, policies for new slaves in territories and so on.
We have illegals “undocumented migrants” who don’t contribute to the economy as slaves used to. No one’s economy depends on them as the Old South.
GOP elites use them as low paid labor who can’t complain about illegal work and pay for themselves. Taken advantage of by the GOP elites but not absolutely necessary. They can exploit black people if illegals need replacing. Unskilled labor pool.
The illegals COST money for police, jails, courts, appeals, catching them again for a new crime and so on. Children need special language tutors or new teachers. Free housing and free medical care and food cards paid by the taxpayers. Plus home invaders and carjacking rapists are probably 40% of the newcomers.
Why not move the homeless instead?
Well, it’s better than enrolling them in her sex cult. I guess.
The State, counties and towns can’t fix the potholes that gape across NY Upstate highways, and the budgets of counties are already way out of line. There is no more representation of the people who “pay” the bills.
They’re also not supporting Social Security and are very likely to defraud it.
What a grifter!
Upstate is where NY Republicans live. It would be better to send the illegals home.
isn’t this the woman whose father was helping run the child sex trafficking ring in NXIVM?
why aren’t they all locked up??
Maybe we can sue to get money from Ukraine. Billions of dollars for them, a shoestring budget for what we want here.
ALWAYS a $$$$$$ scam with Dems.
Upstate... You mean the Republican part of NY?
But then when you reflect on these aliens are our replacements it makes a lot more sense what they are doing. Just a few more rounds of boosters and fentanyl should really help do the trick.
