Hochul won’t consider moving NYC migrants upstate until after election – By Kevin Sheehan, Nolan Hicks and Bruce Golding (New York Post) / Oct 13, 2022
Gov. Kathy Hochul won’t help New York City move any of its surging flood of migrants to upstate communities until they get work permits — pushing the politically fraught issue off until long after next month’s election.
During an unrelated news conference Thursday, Hochul was asked about the relocation plan proposed by US Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and first reported last month by The Post.
“With respect to upstate, I think the question is, how many more times these people have to be shuffled around,” Hochul, who is in a close race with her GOP challenger, US Rep. Lee Zeldin of Long Island, in many upstate districts, said during the event at Hunter College in Manhattan.
“When there becomes a legal path and work papers and a different dynamic, certainly there’ll be a lot of places that will want to embrace this community.”
