Shortly after defending their records in front of Congress as competent managers of the migrant crisis, Democratic governors have returned to what they know best: handing out taxpayer dollars to shield illegal immigrants from deportation.

One, Gov. Kathy Hochul of New York, took things a step further on Tuesday following the detainment of an illegal immigrant by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that briefly resulted in the arrest of the city’s comptroller and Democratic candidate for mayor.

At a hastily arranged press conference, Hochul declared that she would be including a $50 million line item in the state’s next budget offering free legal assistance to illegal immigrants in New York facing deportation.

“Walking out of this courthouse, taken away from their families, they don’t have the attention. They don’t have the lawyers,” the Democrat said of illegal immigrants shortly after New York City comptroller Brad Lander was released from custody.

“And that’s why the state of New York is providing $50 million to cover legal services for people who are finding themselves in this situation,” she announced.

Hochul has to GO!
She needs to move to Mexico so she can be closer to her constituents.

So, the state is paying for lawyers to defend illegal occupants from Federal charges?

If New York has $50 million is p!$$ away on iilegal occupants, it surely doesn't need any more Federal funds for anything.

This is why the Feds needs to cut off funding to the states at the knees.  NY will just use Federal funds to backfill the budget hole created by spending $50 million to defend Federal lawbreakers.

Yep. This is the money laundering of taxpayer money done under the penumbra of providing services. Watch where the money goes, and which of the recipients (consultants, lawyers, and the like) are donating back heavily to their political benefactors.
