ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul said Tuesday that she wants to spend $2.4 billion to help deal with the massive influx of migrants who have overwhelmed New York City's homeless shelters — addressing a damaging political issue for Democrats in her proposed state budget.
The migrant spending plan came as part of a $233 billion budget proposal from the governor's office that will kick off months of negotiations with legislative leaders.
How the governor planned to deal with migrants, some 70,000 of whom are in the care of New York City, had been a looming question ahead of the legislative session. She did not tackle the issue in her State of the State address last week and the word “migrant” wasn't mentioned in her detailed 181-page policy plan book.

All she is doing it inviting more illegals, more expensive, more crime, and less to the taxpayers of NY.
