Gov. Kathy Hochul doubled down on calling for an end to New York City’s “right to shelter law,” saying it is creating an “untenable situation” as she called on President Biden to find a permanent solution to the nation’s migrant crisis.

The Democratic lawmaker said Friday that she and Mayor Eric Adams need to sit down and “look at” the decades-old mandate that requires the city to provide a bed for anyone who requests one as migrants flood New York City shelters.

Speaking on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, she said the law was “never intended to be an unlimited universal opportunity to shelter the world,” but was rather meant to keep homeless people off the streets.

“There is a limit to who we can house,” she said, adding the city is still receiving about 3,000 migrants each week.

“That’s absolutely unsustainable,” Hochul said.

“We’re working so hard, spending millions of dollars, state dollars to house 3,000 here, 2,000 here, 1,000 here. So the word need to get out that [while] New York has always been a place of welcoming immigrants — all of us came from somewhere, our parents and grandparents — but there is a limit to who we can house at this time.

“And we need the rest of the country to step up.”

Hochul then went on to say there needs to be a two-step approach to solving the national migration crisis.

“One is more enforcement at the border,” she explained. “It’s a system that’s broken there.”

The other part of the plan, Hochul said, would be for the Biden administration to create a comprehensive strategy to reduce illegal immigration — though she claimed the gridlock in getting any policy is “driven by the Republicans in Congress.”

“This lies on their feet as well,” she said. 

But Hochul said she knows Republicans and Democrats could come together to create a solution “because as a young attorney for Sen. [Patrick] Moynihan back in 1986, I worked on the last major immigration reform and it was a bipartisan compromise,” she told Morning Joe host Willie Geist.

“That’s the last time we really saw statesmanship in Washington, and that’s what I’m calling for now.”

Her remarks come just one day after the Biden administration cleared the way for Venezuelan asylum seekers to get expedited work permits.

Hochul previously told NY1 that granting temporary protected status and expediting work permits for thousands of Venezuelans who entered the US before July 31 was “an important first step” in getting expedited work status for all migrants.

She said she had been pushing for more than a year to get Venezuelans the temporary protected status that allows them to work in the US, and that now working migrants will begin to live independently instead of relying on the city’s shelter system.

Expanding temporary protected status to migrants allows them to work within 30 days instead of 180, meaning they will be able to exit the shelters sooner.

About 41% of the migrants who have come to the Big Apple from the southern border are Venezuelans, according to City Hall data released last month.

Meanwhile, the Adams administration is now challenging the “right to shelter” rule in the state Supreme Court, arguing they need to turn some people away because the city’s resources have already buckled with the arrival of more than 110,000 asylum seekers since spring 2022.

Legal Aid, however, has challenged the push, claiming, in part, that it would only result in more people sleeping on Gotham’s streets.
