The New York Post just did a story about how New York’s Democrat Governor Kathy Hochul is spending upwards of $7 million in taxpayer dollars on the legal bills of illegal immigrant youths in the state.
When the Post promoted the story on Twitter/X, Hochul jumped in and bragged about it.
Why is it that every single Democrat is so determined to let the public know that they care more about people in the country illegally than they do about American citizens?
This is the story from the New York Post:
Hochul shells out over $7M to cover legal bills for 1,400 migrant children in NY
Gov. Kathy Hochul announced the Empire State will be shelling out over $7 million to cover the legal bills for more than 1,000 unaccompanied migrant children across New York.
The $7.25 million in funding will cover an estimated 1,400 migrant kids facing removal proceedings, including about 250 in detention, the governor said at a press conference in Manhattan alongside Mayor Zohran Mamdani and state Attorney General Letitia James.
The announcement came after the Trump administration let its contract with a network of about 100 providers working with migrant kids nationwide lapse in July.
“It’s cruel. It’s illegal. And for nearly two decades our federal government required by law that these children be protected when they cross the border,” Hochul railed.
The Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act of 2008, passed during President George W. Bush’s tenure, required the US government to provide legal representation for kids in deportation proceedings.
Children caught crossing into the US alone are generally entrusted to the federal government and placed in the care of an adult sponsor, typically a parent, relative or family friend by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
So the New York Post tweeted this story out:

Democrats do this every time.
So she chose illegals over American children who need help. https://t.co/tQTPY8Kvyh

Apparently @GovKathyHochul is the governor of illegal aliens, not the people of New York… https://t.co/hsXkMCSIHw

Democrats sure love to be generous with other people’s money.
