New York Gov. Kathy Hochul Has the Green Light to Give State Jobs to Illegal Migrants
Townhall ^ | 02/29/2024 | Sarah Arnold

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.

It is treason. And those who favor illegals have no love nor thanks for the United States of America.

Our laws and constitution mean nothing to those who have no idea how to keep a country great..

Eliminating English language proficiency, civil service exams, educational requirements? Extraordinary! How about doing that for citizens, too? The quality of services in New York is certainly going to go downhill. At one time it was a great city, but it is self destructing.

Didn’t she get into office when Cuomo was forced to step down?

Of course. Every person in NY State deserves her, right? And by that logic, you have no right to complain about Biden, after all, Americans elected him.

So the average New Yorker can expect at some point to be confronted with a bureaucrat who has no knowledge of civics, US history, what his job is, and does not speak English. A government employed invader will not be able to help the hapless New Yorker, who will suffer because no one can help.

These invaders will just show up or not (as they likely cannot be fired), collect a paycheck, and continue living a cushy life. The American Dream ...?

How is this putting invaders to work?

Pure evil and an act of war against the citizens. The citizens who will be working to pay the illegals salaries, medical and big government pensions. That makes US Citizens slaves to the newcomer, illegal aliens.

“New Yorkers elected her.”

Basically, New York CITY voters elected her. The rest of the state has to suffer. My family’s in a very conservative western NY area, and will pay the price.

There have been more arrests since then.

But the arrests no longer get much reportage in the enemedia.
