Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) suggested that the United States is a nation of immigrants when responding to a question about the growing influx of immigrants to the border, with many making their way to New York.
The New York governor was asked if she would support changing the law to prevent immigrants from flooding major cities in the U.S., such as New York City, Washington, D.C., and Chicago, Illinois. Last month, New York City Mayor Eric Adams renewed a call to change the city’s sanctuary laws because the Big Apple has been one of the top destinations for immigrants.
“Well, first of all, let’s just say we are a nation of immigrants,” Hochul said in an appearance on The View. “I’m sitting here because my grandparents were teenagers in Ireland leaving great poverty. Grandpa started as a migrant farm worker himself in South Dakota in the wheat fields. They were domestic servants in Chicago until they heard about the promised land of Buffalo, New York. You could make steel with your hands and get a good-paying job, and that’s what changed my whole family’s history.”
Hochul claimed there are 460,000 open jobs today, and 5,000 farm jobs that need to be filled, and called for a legal path for migrants to come.
She also claimed half the illegal aliens who have arrived are moms and children “who are so desperate for a better life for their kids that they went through harm’s way” to get here.
Hochul then launched into a rant, blaming the border crisis on former President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers.
“Fast forward to today, which is your question, we are doing the best we can to manage the influx, get people housing, it is very expensive and the state of New York is in for about $4.3 billion. I would like federal money. And guess where the federal money is and why it’s being held up?” she declared.
“The Republicans in Congress and in the Senate, said no, because Donald Trump called him up one night, the night before they should have voted on this to send 2,000 more agents, border patrol people to the border. I need some on the northern border, by the way we border Canada, money for states like New York, that would have helped us a lot, and just have a different path of citizenship and look at the asylum and whether it’s too loose right now the way it’s being used and probably abused. So I blame the Republicans now, the mess was bipartisan before that. Democrats and Republicans have not successfully found a way to have a path to legal citizenship because the employers want this,” Hochul continued.
She claimed that Trump told Republicans not to vote on the border bill just so Joe Biden wouldn’t be credited with solving the border crisis.
