NY Dem Gov. Hochul Surrenders as Illegal Immigration Overwhelms Sanctuary State
NY Dem Gov. Kathy Hochul Warns of Overwhelming Influx of Migrants: “Go Somewhere Else”
In a surprising reversal of her previous stance on illegal immigration, New York’s Democratic governor, Kathy Hochul, has now expressed concern about the city’s ability to handle the growing number of migrant arrivals.
Hochul recently appeared on CNN, where she emphasized the limited capacity of New York City and urged potential migrants to consider other destinations. She stated, “We have to let the word out, that when you come to New York, you’re not going to have more hotel rooms, we don’t have capacity. So we have to also message properly that we’re at our limit – if you’re going to leave your country, go somewhere else.”

This shift in Hochul’s position is notable, as she previously championed New York as a sanctuary for illegal immigrants, even pledging to provide housing and protection at taxpayers’ expense. In 2021, she stated, “You’re welcome with open arms and we’ll work to keep you safe… We’ll not only house you, but we’ll protect you,” referring to the inscription on the Statue of Liberty.
However, the reality of the situation has forced Hochul to acknowledge the strain that the influx of migrants is placing on New York City and other parts of the state. Since last spring, approximately 110,000 migrants have arrived in the city, overwhelming public services and resources.
Mayor Eric Adams Joins the Concern
New York City Mayor Eric Adams has also expressed alarm about the impact of uncontrolled immigration on the city. In a recent public town hall, he warned that the issue would “destroy” New York City if left unaddressed. Adams stated, “This issue will destroy New York City. Let me tell you something, New Yorkers, never in my life have I had a problem that I did not see an ending to – I don’t see an ending to this.”

Similar to Hochul, Adams has a history of supporting illegal immigration. Last August, he visited the city’s Port Authority to meet incoming migrants and promised to provide them with necessary services. He stated, “As the mayor of New York, I have to provide services for families that are here, and that’s what we’re going to do – our responsibility as a city, and I’m proud that this is a Right to Shelter state, and we’re going to continue to do that.”
It’s important to note that the immigration crisis is not limited to New York City alone. The entire country is grappling with the consequences of uncontrolled migration. According to the New York Post, a staggering 3.8 million people have entered the U.S. since President Joe Biden took office, with nearly half of them doing so illegally and evading capture.
A Call for Support
The challenges posed by the immigration crisis have prompted a plea for assistance. The Western Journal, an independent news outlet, is facing financial difficulties due to being blacklisted by 90% of advertisers. They rely on reader support to continue their mission of exposing the truth.

Adams’ concern mirrors that of Governor Hochul, as both leaders recognize the strain that mass immigration is placing on the city’s infrastructure, public services, and resources. The overwhelming influx of migrants has led to shortages in housing, healthcare, and education resources, creating a burden on New York City residents who were already grappling with their own challenges before the migration wave began.
Migration Crisis Requires Comprehensive Solutions
The growing concerns expressed by Governor Hochul and Mayor Adams highlight the need for comprehensive solutions to address the migration crisis. While immigration is an important and complex issue, it cannot be handled solely at the local level. Cooperation between federal, state, and local governments is crucial to effectively manage and alleviate the pressures caused by mass migration.
Efforts must focus on securing the borders, improving immigration policies, and establishing procedures to efficiently process and integrate migrants into society. Additionally, international cooperation and support are essential to addressing the root causes of migration, such as poverty, violence, and political instability in migrants’ home countries.
Furthermore, it is essential to prioritize the well-being and safety of New York City residents. Resources and funding should be allocated to meet the increased demand for housing, healthcare, and education resulting from the migration crisis. Local communities and organizations should also be adequately supported to provide assistance to migrants while ensuring the needs of existing residents are not neglected.
The Need for Balanced Immigration Policies
The migration crisis in New York City underscores the importance of balancing humanitarian concerns with the well-being of local communities. While it is necessary to provide refuge and support to those fleeing dire circumstances, the capacity of cities and states to manage the influx must be considered.
Governor Hochul’s warning to potential migrants to “go somewhere else” can be seen as a reminder of the limitations faced by New York City and the need for realistic immigration policies. As a nation, it is crucial to have a fair and transparent immigration system that ensures the well-being of both newcomers and existing residents.
Only through comprehensive and balanced approaches can we effectively address the challenges posed by mass migration while upholding our values of compassion and respect for human rights. Collaboration, understanding, and a commitment to finding long-term solutions are essential to navigate the complexities of immigration in a way that benefits both migrants and the communities they seek to join.
The migration crisis in New York City serves as a wake-up call for leaders at all levels to come together and find sustainable solutions. It is not only the responsibility of New York City but of the entire nation to address the challenges posed by mass immigration in a manner that preserves the dignity and well-being of all individuals involved.
