During an interview with Spectrum News NY1 on Wednesday, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) stated that the Biden administration will work to help migrants in New York “find a path so these individuals can get what they came here for, the ability to be independent,” and provide housing vouchers. Hochul also said that applying New York City’s right to shelter law to migrants for an unlimited period, “is basically an open invitation to the world to come to New York City. And you can see, the city is crushed under the weight of this.”
Hochul said, “I reinforced my message, which I said back with labor leaders and government leaders and business leaders and the mayor back in May: Let them work, find a path so these individuals can get what they came here for, the ability to be independent, out of the shelters, as well as that humanitarian crisis can be converted into a solution for the other crisis we’re experiencing in New York, which is a severe worker shortage.”
She added, “I have pressed the White House to find a path so that we can get more people working. They are starting tomorrow with an app notification for people who have applied to come into this country under the CBP app. They think that’s going to address a significant number of people, to tell them, you need to apply for work status or you are already eligible. So, we’ll work with them. This is a path to deal with some of the people in the shelters. It’s not the ultimate solution.”
