New York Governor Kathy Hochul’s shifting rhetoric on the migrant crisis exposes the hypocrisy and political failure of sanctuary state policies. Rich breaks down how Hochul initially embraced sanctuary status and welcomed unsanctioned border crossings, only to reverse course and demand federal intervention once the fiscal and logistical realities overwhelmed New York City and state resources. Unpacking how state leadership attempted to shift blame onto federal immigration enforcement while maintaining policies that incentivize illegal entry, Rich demonstrates why political posturing cannot substitute for actual border security and strict enforcement of the law.
