The Presiding Officer of Suffolk County, Kevin McCaffrey, said the legislature there will block any plans New York City has to send migrants to hotels in their county.
"Be very clear. The residents of Suffolk County should not have to shoulder the burden of the failed policies of the Biden and Hochul administrations," McCaffrey said earlier.
"I understand that we don’t want to put a burden on taxpayers, but at same time, there’s people like me. I was in asylum seeker at 18 years old. My first job was cleaning apartments in the Upper West Side and babysitting the babies of the rich in Manhattan and I put myself through college," Moya told FOX 5."I came here with nothing, and we had to work for it," one woman said.
Currently, under immigration law, there are restraints on who is admissible to enter the country and there are criminal penalties for those crossing the border unlawfully.
