  • Governor Kathy Hochul of New York, a Democrat, refrained from placing blame on President Joe Biden for the immigration challenges in her state and instead directed criticism toward the Republican Party.
  • Hochul made her comments during an appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe on Friday, where she expressed support for the Department of Homeland Security’s recent decision to grant fast-track work documents to approximately half a million Venezuelan undocumented immigrants.
  • The governor has been advocating for similar policies since last year, citing workforce shortages in her state. Nevertheless, she emphasized that additional solutions are required to address the situation.
