Kathy Hochul: If Someone Breaks the Law, I’ll Be the First to Call Up ICE and Say ‘Get Them Out of Here!’
EXCERPT:
HOCHUL: "Our immigration system is woefully broken. It’s been broken for decades. There was an opportunity to make meaningful change that the Republicans and House representatives killed, and they should be held accountable for that. But we need to fix the border, fix the system. But I’ll tell you this: Those who come here legally, we want to get them jobs. I have 460,000 open jobs in the state of New York. I want them to get the proper work permits. I want them to keep their temporary protective status, if that’s what they have. I want to make sure that they're part of contributing to society while they’re here. That's separate from people who are criminals. Someone breaks the law, I’ll be the first one to call up ICE and say, 'Get them out of here!' So there is a difference in categories of individuals.”
