ALBANY, N.Y. (WTEN) -- With the expiration of Title 42 and New York being a sanctuary state, Republican lawmakers are proposing legislation to address what they call a "migrant crisis." This past year, bus loads of migrants were transported to New York City. As the numbers of migrants continue to rise, Mayor Adams recently proposed to send some migrants to Rockland and Orange County. Both County Executives responded by declaring a state of emergency.Senate Minority Leader Rob Ortt addressed this at a press conference on Wednesday. "Here’s sorta the truth that no one ever wants to talk about… someone's always gotta be displaced.

You’re taking resources from others. There’s no two ways about it," said Ortt.
