If NY’s governor wasn’t a wackjob illegal alien supporter her proper response would be to send them to the towns of the advocates
Hochul should force NY towns to take migrants, advocates’ letter says
Dozens of advocacy groups have joined in a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul demanding the state force towns to accept migrants from New York City, pressuring the governor to take a more aggressive approach to the city’s deepening asylum seeker crisis.
Hochul should take executive action overruling county-level orders meant to block the movement of migrants, according to the Monday letter, which was led by the Coalition for the Homeless and the Legal Aid Society.
The groups said in the letter that Hochul should deploy executive powers to “invalidate executive orders in counties that have refused to accept new arrivals” or “alternatively, have the State intervene in pending cases to overturn the obstructive executive orders.”
The letter also asked Hochul to personally pressure mayors and county executives to accept migrants; to help coordinate relocation efforts; and to identify more state-run spaces to house people.
First off, shouldn’t the towns and counties which vote overwhelmingly Democrat, and especially those which are sanctuary areas…
Albany
Columbia County
Franklin County
Ithaca
Nassau County
New York City
Onondaga County
St. Lawrence County
Westchester County
…be more than willing to take on the illegal aliens/migrants, feed them, house them, give the healthcare and money and clothes and stuff, rather than wanting to shift the burden to non-sanctuary areas? Why isn’t the city of Albany, the capitol of NY, taking on a whole bunch?
The sort of executive action urged by the groups could swiftly invite lawsuits. The state is already a party to a flurry of legal proceedings around the treatment of migrants and the city’s efforts to bus arrivals upstate.
Yes, lawsuits would be coming fast. For one thing, that would be taxation without representation. Remember, these same types of “advocates” constantly yammer on about “defending Democracy.” I guess their version is be forcing people to accept things. Are any of these advocates inviting the illegals into their own homes? Are these groups, some of which are not even based in the state of New York, offering to provide aid themselves? Is the Riverside Edgecombe Neighborhood Association, Syracuse Tenants Association, Saratoga Immigration Coalition, Hudson/Catskill Housing Coalition, and the others hooking the illegals up?
