Gov. Kathy Hochul pressed the White House on more funding and added staffing to deal with the migrant crisis — while conceding the deportation of Venezuelans has led to a decrease in asylum seekers at the border.  

“We hope that Congress, once they have leadership in the House, they will be able to take this up,” Hochul said of federal assistance just hours after her sitdown with White House Chief of Staff Jeff Zients.

Hochul, meanwhile, was told that the clampdown at the border is expected to slow the surge of migrants into the Big Apple, which has seen record numbers of arrivals in recent weeks.

“As a result of the October announcement of repatriation flights to Venezuela, there has been a decline in Venezuelans crossing the Southern Border,” Hochul said.

“They anticipate that while we are still seeing a high number of arrivals in New York City, that ultimately in the new couple of weeks there should be a decline based on the numbers at the border,” she added.

The governor added that Ecuadoreans now account for the majority of people at the border.

Hochul met with White House officials for the second time on Tuesday, ahead of her Israel trip, where the governor asked the Biden administration again to send more federal staffers and free up more funding.

“This is in response to what I raised in our meeting in August in how the federal government can be quicker in processing these asylum seeker applications,” Hochul told reporters of the request for help.

“They came for a time being, they’ve been housed in New York state offices at Beaver Street… but were in a holding pattern now,” she said of the federal staffers.

The Post reported last month that federal officials had set up shop in Lower Manhattan’s financial district to help migrants apply for work permits.

It was unclear if the federal workers were still assigned to 25 Beaver Street.

In her calls Tuesday for Congress to approve the more than $4 billion in funding to address the mess at the southern border, the governor conceded much of the money was not earmarked for New York.

The funding is aimed at creating an “expanded decompression” that would ultimately benefit NYC by slowing the surge of asylum seekers.

Less than $150 million in federal money has been allocated to New York to deal with the migrant mess.
