(The Center Square) — New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is telling migrants to "go somewhere else" as she tries to dissuade more asylum-seekers from traveling to the state amid another surge of immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border.
In remarks during a CNN appearance, Hochul said New York has "reached capacity" for accepting new migrants and urged them to apply for asylum before leaving their countries or seek shelter in other states if they arrive.
"If you're going to leave your country, go somewhere else," Hochul said. "We have to let the word out that when you come to New York, you're not going to have more hotel rooms."
Hochul also said she supports efforts to update or suspend New York City's right to shelter law, which requires the city to provide housing, food and other necessities for homeless individuals, regardless of their immigration status. She said it was never intended to be a "universal right or obligation on the city to have to house literally the entire world."
Hochul's remarks appear to be a shift in her stance on immigration for the Democrat who has previously defended New York's "sanctuary" state status and its storied history of accepting large numbers of asylum seekers.
She has also pushed for work authorization for migrants and lobbied President Joe Biden to extend the temporary protected status to tens of thousands of Venezuelan asylum seekers that allows them to work in the U.S. legally. Critics say policies are encouraging more migrants to enter the country illegally.
New York City has had an influx of more than 116,000 asylum seekers over the past year amid a surge of immigration along the U.S.-Mexico border. The surge coincided with the end of the pandemic-era Title 42 policy that required migrants to stay in Mexico while requesting asylum, which expired in May.
Hochul's comments echo those previously made by New York Mayor Eric Adams, a fellow Democrat, who in June began distributing flyers on the U.S.-Mexico border as part of a new marketing campaign to dissuade new arrivals from settling in the city.
Adams has criticized the Biden administration for not doing enough to secure the southern border, and has said the migrant crisis will "destroy" New York City if the federal government doesn't provide more funding and resources to the city.
New York Republicans have long called on Hochul to rescind the state's sanctuary designation and New York City's right to shelter law, saying the policies are drawing more migrants to the state.
"New York City's leaders chose to be a sanctuary city, putting out a welcome mat for every migrant who arrives in the country," a group of state GOP lawmakers wrote to Hochul earlier this month. "They chose virtue signaling over good government policy, and so must bear the consequences."
Last week, several Republican congressional lawmakers filed a lawsuit seeking to block New York City from using Brooklyn's Floyd Bennett Field or other federally owned sites in the Gateway National Recreation Area to provide temporary housing for migrants.
Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, R-N.Y., and other GOP lawmakers have also called on Democrats in the U.S. Senate to pass a border security bill approved by the House earlier this year.

For a city of 8.8 million people another 100,000 may be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
A sanctuary city & state in name only.
A feel good proclamation intended to pump up frail liberal ego’s. Nothing more.
There’s zero meat on that bone.
They want to bring in as many people as possible, but they don't want to live near them.
Between 1892 and 1924, that is 32 years, 12 million legal immigrants passed through Ellis Island into the US.

Under Joe Biden, in only 3 years, approximately 3.8 million illegal migrants passed through the southern border into the US.
Shocking 3.8 million migrants have entered US since Biden took office (nypost.com)
My dads parents were two of them.
As were all of my grandparents.
Another failed Democrat policy.
They are going into the next election claiming:
1) the economy is great!
2) the border is secure
3) Joe Biden is sharp & energetic, and his staff can't keep up with him.
Maybe they'll pull it off again. God only knows where the votes come from.
And how high or drunk does one need to be to believe that?
Obituaries.
Until they denounce their "Sanctuary" status they can't complain about a goddamn thing.
The use of federal property to house what they invited into their cities and states is the wrong answer. The use of CITY property is what needs to be used.
So, Kathy Hochul has a Kamala Harris moment. Do not come. Otherwise known as blue balls policy. It's very feminist. What is the gender identity of those who screw themselves?
Yeah, Democrats, people have been telling you for decades that you've pursued the wrong priorities. But, no, no, Democrats knew better than everyone else. Now Democrats have discovered they screwed themselves. But, but it's not their fault. Sorry, Big D, you're gonna get the same empathy you gave. What goes around, comes around. And now that Big D is headed your way, watch the backside.
The influx has just begun Kathy, you can expect hundreds of thousands more. And hundred more need to be deposisted in front of the White House and Joe's Delaware home.
100,000? That's enough to break New York?
Interesting how that works.....

Sometimes what you choose to be backfires, like potting food out for feral cats and getting overrun by feral cats
and then complaining about having problems with feral cats
Right now, the legendary Roosevelt Hotel where President Truman once held up a flawed newspaper article claiming he was defeated and the old radio base for the Guy Lombardo band is an absolute shit house. The hotel's 1,025 rooms are currently filled by illegal immigrants at a cost of $6,000 per family, per month.
Even the famous bar in the Roosevelt Hotel is packed with Biden's, Hochul's, and Adams' illegal aliens sleeping on the floor. I can't imagine what that bar area looks like or smells like with minimal bathrooms for dozens of people, many of whom are not accustomed to modern facilities.
A while back they were bringing them gourmet sandwiches, which ended up being tossed in the waste baskets.
I remember that. Several sanctuary states and cities gave illegal aliens not only free gourmet sandwiches but also their countries' ethnic foods as more expensive entrees. The ingrate illegals even threw out those ethnic entrees, because they weren't prepared/cooked to the "standards" of their 3rd world impoverished countries.
Ingrates all ... biting the hands of those who feed, clothe, house, educate them ... in addition to giving them free medical care and legal assistance. These people aren't "refugees"; they are illegal aliens who know they can illegally game the system thanks to Biden's open-borders administration.
Yeah and making a big production out of it for the media.
