Rep. Elise Stefanik is taking aim at New York Gov. Kathy Hochul for a massive amount of migrant spending to combat the sanctuary state's ongoing migrant crisis.
Hochul announced this week that her $233 billion budget proposal includes $2.4 billion "to continue to support efforts in New York City and elsewhere in the state to safely manage the influx with the appropriate humanitarian response" It's a $500 million increase from the last fiscal year.

"We also know that companies won't do business in New York if there are thousands of people sleeping on the streets, where the quality of life is dramatically impacted, because the city is forced to cut essential services," Hochul said, unveiling the proposal.
