Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is calling in additional National Guard members to help manage the state’s escalating migrant crisis.
New York will bring in an additional 150 National Guard members to help control the state’s migrant surge, bringing the new total of members deployed in the state to approximately 2,200, Hochul said during a press conference Monday. New York City has now received well over 100,000 migrants with 10,000 more on the way every month.
Approximately 250 of the 2,200 National Guard deployed in New York will narrowly focus on case management for Venezuelans who came before July 31 to apply for temporary work authorization, according to Hochul. Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans who arrived in the U.S. before that date are expected to qualify for protection and expedited work permits under the Biden administration.
WATCH:
Hochul, who previously told New York’s suburbs to accept migrants into their communities and to stop being “bigoted,” said on Thursday that incoming migrants need to “go somewhere else,” during an interview with CNN. Hochul’s comments mimic New York City Mayor Eric Adam’s stern warning in early September that the migrant crisis would impact “every community in [the] city,” and would eventually “destroy” the Big Apple.
“If you’re going to leave your country, go somewhere else,” Hochul said during a CNN interview Thursday. “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.”
Hochul also said she would consider rescinding New York’s “right to shelter” law because it was originally intended for homeless populations. She claimed that the law was never meant to create “an unlimited, universal right or obligation on the city to have to house literally the entire world.”
“We have large hearts. You want to be generous and supportive to people who are experiencing humanitarian crisis, but there is a limit to what we can do,” Hochul said.
Migrant encounters at the U.S.-Mexico border are on track to beat the previous record of more than 2.3 million that were recorded crossing in fiscal year 2022. Approximately 181,000 migrants were apprehended by Border Patrol at the southern border in August alone.
Hochul did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: Believe it or not, today’s high priests of climate-change apocalypse are correct in predicting that in just a few short years, the earth will become miserable, wretched and almost uninhabitable by human beings. But the grim future they envision won’t come about because of “catastrophic climate change,” but rather, because of the implementation of their completely insane and truly catastrophic agenda.
As Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore recently admitted, “If they actually achieve Net Zero, at least 50% of the population would die of hunger and disease.” Likewise, writes energy expert and author Alex Epstein: “Today’s proposed policies to rapidly eliminate fossil fuel use would, if fully implemented, have truly apocalyptic consequences – making the world an impoverished, dangerous, and miserable place for most people.”
Question: When the scientific case for global warming apocalypse consists primarily of a 1-degree Celsius rise in temperature over more than 130 years, what explains the obsession with an imminent, climate-caused end of the world?
Although many groups have been drawn into the Climate Change Cult – from the news media (which has warned of climate catastrophe, either global warming or a “new ice age,” for over a century!), to innocent school kids indoctrinated by hysterical leftist teachers, to liberal Democrats who claim “climate change” will destroy the earth in a few years – the REAL villains are the national and global elites who KNOW the apocalyptic global warming religion is just a cruel hoax, but promote and exploit it as a means of accomplishing their ultimate goal: Transforming and ruling the world.
The heart and soul of today’s bizarre, pagan climate-change religion, and the global elites’ strategies for using it to rule all of mankind, is powerfully exposed and illuminated in the September issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, an issue titled “CULT OF THE CLIMATE APOCALYPSE: The elites’ breathtaking strategy for ruling the world.” WHISTLEBLOWER is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
