New York Governor Kathy Hochul told Spectrum News that she is helping New York City Mayor Eric Adams with finding 'welcoming' sites for migrants, as the city is at-capacity.
Hochul explained on Wednesday that the state plans to financially assist the city, pledging at least $1 billion towards migrant assistance efforts. Adams' office recently announced that hundreds of adult male migrants will be relocated to Orangeburg in Rockland County and the town of Newburgh in Orange County.
"There are welcoming counties out there," Hochul explained."It just, sometimes, you identify a community that wants them, but you have to find the hotel to stay, and a lot of other communities have homelessness problems." "Republicans in Congress, in charge of the House, have the ability to allocate more money. Why don’t you match what New York state did? Give us a billion dollars for New York," she said."Help us with the money, help us with the work authorization. And then we’ll get through this much sooner."
"Orleans County does not have the capability to receive or sustain any migrants and/or asylum seekers,"
