Sanctuary City Governor Calls in National Guard to Stop Immigration Crisis

Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul called the National Guard to help with the migrant crisis.

The Texas border has been flooded with hundreds of thousands of migrants coming over the southern border this past week.

Texas has sent many migrants into Democrat-run cities like New York and Chicago by bus.

Now, these so-called ‘sanctuary cities’ are dealing with the consequences of their legislation.

And the people of New York have been highly vocal in not wanting these migrants into their city.

Fox News has more on the story:

Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday she is calling in the National Guard to assist in the ongoing migrant criss.

Hochul announced an additional 150 National Guard members will be deployed to address the migrant crisis and help with case management to get asylum seekers work permits – particularly Venezuelans who now qualify for temporary protected status.

The additional 150 members bring the total number of National Guardsmen supporting the mission to 2,200. The governor said 250 National Guard members will focus solely on case management to help the Venezuelans who came before July 31 to apply for Temporary Protected Status – and then work authorization.

“Now that we have the opportunity granted by President Biden to help the Venezuelans who came before July 31st be able to apply for temporary protective status and what follow that literally with the same application, is the work authorization — that coveted work authorization. That’s their ticket to the American Dream,” she said.

The National Guard is here to help give work permits to the migrants being housed in New York.

Of course, the people who will suffer the consequences are taxpayers.

Not only is this money being taken out of government funds, but we are also taking away job opportunities from real Americans.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it. You wanted sanctuary city status and you got it. Real life is a lot different than a virtue signal isn't it NY.

Leftist lunatic Gov. Hochul pulls National Guard amid New York's migrant crisis. Leftist do gooders are great with a sanctuary city status at 2k mi from Mex. Once the reality of their braindead idea hits, they panic. Just like every other thing they demandhttps://t.co/7zMXOt1E3q

It’s only a matter of time before these cities crumble under the pressure of housing many migrants.

Another development in the story is how New York’s governor and New York City Mayor Adams disagree over handling the whole crisis.

The National Review has more on the story:

Last week, Hochul directed the New York State Department of Labor to connect employers with newly-eligible asylum seekers and migrants who are pursuing work authorizations. For that effort, over 70 state personnel representing 16 separate state agencies were assigned, a press statement said.

“Work authorization is the way out of the migrant crisis,” Hochul said. “Individuals who achieve legal work status will be able to exit the shelter system, find work opportunities and get their shot at the American Dream.”

Over 116,000 migrants have arrived in NYC since the spring, when border states began busing migrants to blue “sanctuary cities” which have committed to providing shelter and social services to all individuals regardless of immigration status. At a recent town hall meeting in Manhattan, Adams said New York City is receiving 10,000 migrants per month. “This issue will destroy New York City,” Adams said.

Mayor Eric Adams has bickered with Hochul over the migrant fiasco, with both accusing the other of not investing enough resources to combat it. Adams called out Hochul for refusing to intervene in the city’s dispute with upstate counties, which are suing to stop the city from busing migrants to hotels in their jurisdictions. Despite his statement that the migrant crisis is untenable, Adams has yet to renounce the city’s sanctuary status, which guarantees shelter and social services for all migrants.

All of this could have easily been avoided.

Republicans warned that this would happen.

We knew that having so many migrants pouring into our country would have disastrous outcomes.
