Advocates are sounding the alarm over both Gov. Hochul and Mayor Adams' spending proposals, which failed to include several flagship programs they've fought for in recent years as well as reductions to programs that provide English language, literacy and citizenship classes that immigrant New Yorkers rely on.
New York’s election for governor was a surprisingly tense affair, but for New York’s 4 million immigrants, it was a snooze-fest. Republican candidate Lee Zeldin offered a tired, warmed-over Trumpist approach using buzzwords and messaging to signal to MAGA Republicans that he was their guy who would “secure the border.” Yet victorious incumbent Gov. Hochul offered disappointingly little for New York’s immigrants as well.
