Hochul to NYers Objecting to Migrants: We Believe in Statue of Liberty and NYC Is Full, So ‘Other Areas’ Must ‘Embrace’
Breitbart ^ | 29 Sep 2023 | IAN HANCHETT

Posted on 09/29/2023 5:24:25 AM PDT by Mr. Mojo

On Thursday’s broadcast of “CNN News Central,” New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) responded to a question on those in the state who say New York has done enough to handle migrants by stating that New York is “not going to compromise who we are as a state with the Statue of Liberty in our harbor.” But “in New York City, we hit our capacity. So, we’re asking other areas to embrace these individuals.”

Hochul said, “I will be very clear about the values of New Yorkers, we have always been a place that has welcomed immigrants. … So, we’ll always be that place. But it’s also a question of capacity right now. We have been welcoming. We have been gracious. We have been supportive. But we have to point out the fact and make sure people coming across the border who think there are plentiful hotel rooms and services in New York City, we hit our capacity. So, we’re asking other areas to embrace these individuals. But we’re not going to compromise who we are as a state with the Statue of Liberty in our harbor.

The inscription on the statue in question is neither state nor constitutional law. And you can be damn sure the “other areas” she plans on sending the Dems’ third world political pawns are the redder regions upstate. Hope they send them back, right to the harridan’s front door.

There is a reason NYC has RCV.

Why Albany just made the state all mail-in against voters wishes.

WE DO NOT VOTE FOR THIS ****.

"But we’re not going to compromise who we are as a state with the Statue of Liberty in our harbor."

Which means those 'other areas' have the liberty to say 'no'.

“ So, we’re asking other areas to embrace these individuals.”

The word “ask” implies that the asked party has the option of saying “no.”

Hochul ain’t “asking.” She’s going to force the entire State to take these people in and she doesn’t give a damn what the locals think about it.

The political class is eliminating elections as a form of correction. They still hold elections but they are Soviet farce elections with predetermined outcomes.

NYS cost shares Medicaid costs with counties.

Was New York’s 2022 General Election Valid?

I'd argue before then based on what I've seen at my local poling place on Election Day since 2016.

From your link above:

“Two asylum seekers have been charged with sex crimes since early August, both said to have taken place at a hotel in Cheektowaga.”

Lovely. Just lovely.

It gets weirder and weirder. It is okay to Hochul for people to be in New York state without paperwork showing they are legal immigrants but she enforces the paperwork requirement on companies hiring people to be security guards who do not yet have the proper paperwork.

Hint: What company does she want to hire to do the security work?

....hhmmmm...can’t wait to see what happens when the immigrants [sic] coming from hotter-than-hell sh*thole countries in south and central America experience their first Syracuse winter.....I believe it was the winter of 1967-68 - we had 18-below-zero weather for a solid week....

Scuttlebutt is that the number and variety of crimes is far, far worse.

But the news is spiked.

Or if the crime does make the headlines, the identity of the illegal alien perp never does.
