Andrea Macko in Porcupine Soup reports that even though virtually everyone in Greene County is either a migrant or descended from someone from other parts of the world, officials there released a press release May 15 saying more migrants are not welcome. The statement, which came from the Greene County government but not specific officials, said, “The arrival of increased numbers of migrants seeking shelter in the City and State of New York is expected to exacerbate an already large-scale humanitarian crisis and create a disaster emergency to which local governments are unable to adequately respond, creating a threat to health and safety, which could result in the loss of life or property.” Currently, Republican officials in Texas and Florida have been shipping migrants to New York City, where the Democrat mayor is sending some of them upstate. The anonymous press release said, "Greene County already has a housing and homeless crisis." Then officials said that if any migrants are sent to Greene County, "we would have no choice but to put asylum seekers who require significant services back on a bus to the closest sanctuary city, such as Albany, Kingston, or Hudson.” Read more about this story in Porcupine Soup.
