New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has made fresh comments on the current immigration crisis facing New York City, warning Congress that the "country's border is too open right now," and calling for limits "who can come across the border."
In an interview on CBS's "Face the Nation," she remarked that the country's border is currently too much of a free-for-all. She said that people from all over the world are being allowed into the country for "simply saying they need asylum" and ending up the streets of New York City.
The comment comes on the back of New York's ongoing struggle with an unprecedented influx of illegal immigrants. According to New York City officials, over 110,000 illegal immigrants have come to the city over the past year, with around 60,000 living in the city's shelter system, costing billions of dollars per year.
