NY Gov: Why won't Joe Biden take ownership of the migrant crisis?

Hot Air  "Hopefully, President Joe Biden is enjoying the view from the underside of the bus courtesy of New York Governor Kathy Hochul. Following the lead of New York City Mayor Eric Adams, Hochul has at least partially surrendered to reality and been forced to publicly admit that New York – particularly the Big Apple, along with some upstate cities – has been overrun with illegal migrants. All of these new arrivals are demanding various services and the resources available in the system are already strained to the breaking point. With nobody else to blame for the results of the “sanctuary” policies that Hochul herself has promoted, she’s pointing the finger of blame for the Biden border crisis at the person it’s named for. In what was described as an “exasperated” tone, the Governor told reporters that New York is facing a “humanitarian crisis” and her pleas to the White House for help have largely fallen on deaf ears. (NY Post)

Gov. Kathy Hochul says repeated pleas to President Biden about the worsening “humanitarian crisis” caused by a flood of migrants into New York City have fallen on deaf ears — but she continued to sidestep the issue of whether his open-border immigration policies are also to blame. . .
