Democratic ex-New York Gov. David Paterson blasted the Biden administration Sunday for having “really done nothing’’ to control the border crisis and said the Big Apple should be taking care of its own first.
“The federal government has really done nothing about it,” Paterson told host John Catsimatidis on “Cat’s Roundtable” on WABC 770AM radio, referring to the migrant debacle choking the city and country.
“As a matter of fact, the state, with Gov. Kathy Hochul, has given seven times more money to this effort,” Paterson said.
“They didn’t start it, but they put the money in to help,” he said of local officials.
The former gov noted that the city’s shelter system has already been grappling with space constraints because of the Big Apple’s homeless population.
