Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Monday that she is assigning another 150 New York National Guard members to fast-track work permits for tens of thousands of illegals with an eye toward transitioning them out of state-run migrant shelters and into the state's population.
During her September 25 presser, Hochul noted that with the additional forces deployed, she would have put 2,200 soldiers to work for illegals, helping them gain legal status and protecting them in shelters.
Now we have this new category that allow [sic] the expedited work permits for Venezuelans who arrived here earlier.
On September 20, Hochul released a statement to pressure businesses to hire newly authorized migrants and "Directed the New York State Department of Labor to connect employers with newly-eligible asylum seekers and migrants who [are] on the path to receiving work authorizations."
"Work authorization is the way out of the migrant crisis," Hochul exclaimed.
"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."
Hochul took heavy criticism from former gubernatorial opponent Lee Zeldin, who blasted Hochul for destroying the American dream in New York, saying, "Your American dream is no longer a New York dream."
