NEW YORK GOVERNOR FLIPS ON MIGRANTS In Dec 2021, NY Gov. Kathy Hochul invited all migrants to come to New York. She welcomed them with open arms, quoting the welcoming message from the Statue of Liberty touting the state's sanctuary status. A few days ago, she changed her tune due to the ongoing migrant crisis: "If you're going to leave your country, go somewhere else. We have to let the word out that when you come to New York, you’re not going to have more hotel rooms. We don’t have capacity, so we have to also message properly." She advocated for people to enter the country properly: "The smarter thing is to apply for asylum before you leave your country.” Immigration plays a key role in our economy and labor force, but it must be done through the correct channels. If New York is struggling to accept more migrants, then we have a serious problem! Is Hochul a hypocrite, or did she bite off more than she can chew?
