Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) told the Rev. Al Sharpton that her state is “bursting at the seams” with illegal immigrants.
With the expiration of Title 42 on Thursday at 11:59 p.m., border officials expected to face an unprecedented surge of migrants crossing from Mexico into the United States.

“We already have over 61,000 — over 40,000 housed in New York City,” she said. “They’re bursting at the seams {snip}”
At least $1 billion of the state budget and legal assistance has been put forward by Hochul’s administration to address the situation, she said.

People will start living in tents — not just on the border but in the streets of New York City and across the state, Hochul said.
“We’ve reached a breaking point,” she concluded.
