She also did not elaborate on the fact that President Biden has the authority to send army reserve or national guard to the border.
Earlier this year, she distanced herself from the chaos in the city when she indicated in a report that Mayor Eric Adams was to blame for the migrant situation.
Governor Kathy Hochul on The View
Governor Hochul didn’t mince words. She contended that a proposed Senate border deal could have alleviated the situation, but Trump’s interference killed the bill.
According to Hochul, pressure from Trump on Republican lawmakers resulted in halting progress in addressing the crisis.
Critics pointed out inconsistencies in Hochul’s stance. They cite her previous announcement that New York is a “sanctuary state.” Her more recent acknowledgment of asylum system abuses. Moreover, Hochul failed to acknowledge President Biden’s role in dismantling Trump-era executive orders and agreements with Mexico, which contributed to increased illegal border entries.
Political Fallout
Hochul’s appearance on The View provided a platform for her stance on the border crisis. At one point she even emphasized the bipartisan nature of the problem.
