Hochul Flip-Flops On Immigration: Border is ‘too open’; New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul Rants the border is ‘too open’ and demands a ‘limit on who can come across’

Hochul flip-flops on immigration: Border is ‘too open’:

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) said Sunday the border is “too open” and that all the immigrants coming to her state pose a “real problem.”

On CBS’s Face the Nation on Sunday, Hochul called for stricter border measures and worried about the number of illegal immigrants who have been coming across the border and settling in New York.

“I want them to have a limit on who can come across the border. It is too open right now,” Hochul said. “People coming from all over the world are finding their way through, simply saying they need asylum. And the majority of them seem to be ending up in the streets of New York.”

She continued by saying that it has become “a real problem for New York City” and something needs to change.

“We are one of the most diverse places on Earth because of our welcoming nature, and it’s in our DNA to welcome immigrants,” Hochul said. “But there has to be some limits in place, and Congress has to put more controls at the border.” —>READ MORE HERE

New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul rants the border is ‘too open’ and demands a ‘limit on who can come across’:

New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul ranted about failing immigration policies saying the southern border is ‘too open’ and demanded a limit on how many people can stream over into the US.

During a Sunday appearance on CBS’ ‘Face the Nation,’ Hochul said she feels the country’s border is currently too much of a free-for-all.

A record 260,000 migrants flooded across the border last month alone, causing chaos not only in border states that are ill-equipped to stomach such massive population influxes but in sanctuary states like New York.

‘We want [Congress] to have a limit on who can come across the border,’ said Hochul.

‘People coming from all over the world are finding their way through, simply saying they need asylum, and the majority of them seem to be ending up in the streets of New York, and that is a real problem for New York City,’ she added, echoing what Mayor Eric Adams has been saying for months.

‘It’s in our DNA to welcome immigrants. But there has to be some limits in place.’

‘Congress has to put more controls at the border,’ she said, noting that some lawmakers have called for a reduction in the number of Border Patrol officers stationed down south.

‘Talk about eliminating positions for Border Patrol, well, we actually need to double or quadruple those numbers,’ she said.

Within the last 18-months, more than 110,000 migrants have arrived in New York City.

Officials have been scrambling to house and provide basic accommodations for the massive number, and the attention of the city’s government has been diverted, often at the expense of the legal population of the Big Apple.

As a result of the overwhelming wave of migrants, Hochul has lobbied in Albany for state funds to help shelter and feed the incoming migrants. One such expense is a massive tent that was installed on Randall’s Island in Manhattan over the summer. —>READ MORE HERE
