Hochul reveals massive number of undocumented workers as she fears Trump crackdown can crush NY economy
Story by Carl Campanile • 14h

President Trump lays out plan for dealing with illegal immigrants during inauguration address
New York is home to a staggering 470,100 undocumented workers, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration said Tuesday — as the governor worried a coming crackdown on illegal immigrants could send the local economy into a tailspin.

The revelation came as Hochul unveiled a massive $252 billion budget proposal and would mean about 15% of the state’s entire workforce is undocumented, or nearly one out of every 6 employees as newly returned President Donald Trump has pledged a crackdown on illegal immigration.

“The potential deportation of undocumented immigrants could further exacerbate the state’s population loss and labor shortages,” an economic outlook analysis released as part of the budget plan said.
 
The Center for Migration Services estimated that 470,100 workers in the Empire State are undocumented — a figure cited in Hochul’s report.

As I read about it, it seems Trump is targeting the adjudicated criminal element first.  She might want to cooperate with him on those and maybe she can swing some sort of deal on the others. :pondering:

Just being here illegally is a crime.  That is why I said those convicted, either here or another country, first.  Getting rid of the known bad actors first will gain the administration more support.

If she knows they are there, then she is harboring fugitives and breaking federal laws.  Her ass should be hauled up before a federal judge to explain.
