New York Governor Kathy Hochul delivered her State-of-the-State address on Tuesday but failed to mention the ballooning migrant crisis in New York City that Mayor Adams can’t get under control.
In fact, Hochul’s full 180-page agenda didn’t mention “migrants,” “asylum seekers” or “refugees.” This may have come to a shock to Big Apple Mayor Adams, as he expressed he wanted to hear about “The support that we need to deal with the crisis as we see it” before walking into the statehouse.
From The New York Post:
The state has already spent $1 billion and promised an additional $1 billion to help the Big Apple deal with the relentless influx of migrants straining city coffers.
Hochul instead laid out a list of 204 other priorities in the lead-up to this year’s pivotal election season for the state Senate and Assembly — including a crackdown on shoplifting and illegal smoke shops, and a string of housing and education policies.
“Today, I’m going to just focus on a few key common sense items for our agenda: Fighting crime, fixing our mental health system and protecting New Yorkers’ hard-earned money,” the governor said, adding that she would address the migrant crisis in next week’s planned budget speech.
More than 160,000. migrants have come to New York City from the southern border since the spring of 2022.
