At some point, you’d think someone would ask someone on the left doing everything they can to protect illegal aliens more than they call for protection of American citizens, ‘Who do you serve?’
On Tuesday, New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) announced that the State of New York will be using $50 million in taxpayer funds to provide legal assistance to illegal aliens.
“They [illegals] don’t have the attention. They don’t have the lawyers,” Hochul said during a press conference. “And that’s why the State of New York is providing $50 million to cover legal services for people who are finding themselves in this situation.”

According to City & State New York:
“On the funding front, immigrant advocates have called for at least $165 million for immigrant legal services for the past several years. Hochul has never included that amount in her executive budget proposal. Both houses of the state Legislature have included the funds in their one-house budget proposals, but it has never made it into the final spending plan – and this year’s budget was no different.
This year, the state budget included $64.2 million for immigrant legal services assistance, an amount that advocates called “stagnant” compared to last year. The amount of money dedicated to legal services for immigrants has increased from nonexistent to the current amount over the past several years, but this year’s budget did not add more resources after hitting a record high last year. According to a spokesperson for the governor, the $50 million that Hochul announced on Tuesday represented funds already included in the budget passed in early May, rather than new money on top of it. So the money Hochul touted is from a sum that immigrant advocates have already said failed to meet the moment.”
“They don’t have the attention?!” Other than the Israel/Iran conflict going on right now, what has gotten more attention in the last couple of weeks than the “plight” of illegal immigrants? Please, tell me. I’ll wait…
Yeah, didn’t think so.
