NY Governor Hochul floats idea of housing illegals in dorms at state universities

Oh oh! It turns out that actually experiencing an inflow of illegal immigrants can force even the bluest of blue state Dem politicians to risk angering their equally blue constituents. Spectrum News reports:

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration has identified dorms on three SUNY campuses to use as housing sites for migrants, according to a source.
The source told NY1 the plan includes a total of 1,500 beds at the University at Buffalo, Stony Brook University and the University at Albany.
An announcement is expected as soon as next week, the source said.

New York Governor Kathy Hochul

As long as it was red states Texas and Florida bearing the brunt of massive Biden-era illegal immigration, blue state Dem politicians were happy to claim that only heartless xenophobes and racists could possibly object to open borders. But when Texas and Florida started shipping a comparative few to places like Martha’s Vineyard, Chicago, and New York City, it got very awkward. Hoping that nobody would notice that only a comparative trickle of illegals was coming their way compared to, say, El Paso, they declared a crisis. And started to have to make difficult choices.

"Clearly a SUNY campus lends itself to immediate help, but long-term, we have to have it free by August. So, what happens in August?" Hochul said in an interview with Spectrum News.

Using state college dorms has a huge risk if the invaders are still in residence when students return. Forcibly evacuating them (to where?) would make for some awfully bad visuals. And what about the summer school students staying in dorms? Illegal drugs and alcohol abuse problems, as well as sex in the stairwells have been all over the hotels whch are being used to hold invaders.

This will be nationwide soon. Democrats know universities will shut up and take it.Education is optional for Democrats. That ship has sailed.

The Idaho State University campus in Pocatello was buzzing with life during the school year prior to COVID. Students spilled over into all the local businesses. That era is OVER. Much of the housing for university students is private owners with no affiliation with the university. There are few students present for in-person classes. The small businesses that relied upon them are shuttered. Lots of vacant real estate and the infrastructure has dried up.

Oh, okay—parents scrape and save to send their kids to college, with dozens of filthy, disease-ridden, unvetted CRIMINALS living among them. Reports of this human filth in other venues have told of drug parties, drunken orgies, guns, etc. Just the thing for concentrating on your studies, eh? And what of the terrorists using the other illegals as cover to enter our country? Those college kids would make fine hostages, I’m sure. The absolute stupidity of NYers never ceases to amaze me. They could have had the competent conservative Zeldin as governor, yet they went with this insane witch.
