Americans Must Subsidize Housing, Healthcare for Illegal Aliens New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) is pleading with President Joe Biden to bail out the sanctuary state with American taxpayers footing the bill to provide border crossers and illegal aliens with jobs, subsidized housing, healthcare, and public transit.
As more than 100,000 border crossers and illegal aliens have arrived in New York since the spring of last year, Hochul is formally asking Biden to take a number of steps that would see American taxpayers the majority of whom do not live in New York pay for subsidized social services for the new arrivals.
For over a year, I have called for federal assistance and support for New York as we manage the unprecedented number of asylum seekers arriving in our state, Hochul said in a televised address on Thursday:
New York cannot continue to do this on its own. It is past time for President Biden to take action and provide New York with the aid needed to continue managing this ongoing crisis. [Emphasis added]
