Republican New York lawmakers are demanding Albany’s state legislature hold a special session to urgently deal with the state’s rapidly worsening migrant crisis.

The letter, sent by six GOP politicians in the Assembly, says that both the Assembly and the Senate should be reconvened — as more than 59,000 migrants are currently in New York’s care on the taxpayer dime.

“[W]hat first began as ‘temporary’ housing has now morphed into perpetual housing due to the lack of a plan that tackles this crisis head-on,” the half-dozen lawmakers wrote.

“The state legislature needs to do its part to address this crisis,” Assemblyman Michael Tannousis (R-Staten Island) said, justifying the need for the special session where lawmakers “can discuss a package of bills to tackle this crisis.”

The letter, also co-signed by Assembly members Michael Reilly, Sam Pirozzolo, Michael Novakihov, Alec Brook-Krasny and Lester Chang, was sent to Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie (D-The Bronx) and state Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins (D-Westchester) on Monday.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s office, meanwhile, swatted back criticism of the state’s handling of the migrant crisis on Wednesday.

“Rather than pointing fingers or coordinating press stunts, the Governor is focusing on fighting for the people of New York — including by meeting with senior White House leaders today,” said Hochul spokesman, Avi Small.

Hochul and Democratic state leaders have already allocated or promised City Hall $1.5 billion in support to help cover the costs of the migrant crisis — a figure the governor has said in recent weeks will likely grow by another $1 billion in the next budget.

Mayor Eric Adams and his top budget officials have estimated that the cost of the migrant crisis over three years could reach an eye-watering $12 billion.

Representatives for Heastie and Stewart-Cousins did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
