Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) proposed the state spend roughly $2 billion on the immigrant crisis plaguing its biggest city on Tuesday as part of her annual budget.
The proposed amount would help shelter immigrants, provide funding for employment-related services, funding for medical and legal bills, and staffing for the National Guard, which is helping assist with the crisis.
