DHS Fires Employees Over Migrant Payments

Fox News alert. Moments ago, we received this together.

Uh, we received a statement from the DHS

regarding the $59 million

sent from FEMA to New York City migrants last week.

Quote, "Four employees being fired today for

circumventing

leadership and unilaterally making the egregious payment for hotels

for migrants in New York City." We have not annou- We have not

announced it yet, so you have, uh, so we have it first.

Uh, there's gonna be firing, some names are gonna be out,

and let's bring in New

York Congressman Mike Lawler. Congressman, your

thought about that move.

Well, it's long overdue, frankly.

Uh, these funds have been misappropriated,

uh, going back to the Biden administration.

Uh, and New York City, a sanctuary city,

uh, has been wasting billions of dollars of

taxpayer money, billions with a B, uh, to

provide free housing, clothing, food, education, and

healthcare to illegal immigrants, including criminal aliens

that are here illegally. Uh, and so, you know, I, I applaud,

frankly, DHS, uh, for taking action, uh,

to stop these payments, uh, under President Trump's

leadership because we have incentivized

cities like New York and states like New York, a

sanctuary state, uh, to allow this to continue, and it has to

stop.

Look, it costs New York, and it's a little selfish of us,

billions of

dollars, uh, because the, the border was wide open for four years, and the

mayor that spoke up got exiled in the Democratic Party.

Ironically, he's about to be, uh, I, I guess, uh, in a

way pardoned or, or, uh, protected by this

president, who sees a lot of the targeting of Mayor

Eric Adams as the

same thing that happened to him.

Uh, no question. Eric Adams spoke out against what the

Biden

administration was doing. He said that the migrant crisis was, quote

unquote, "destroying New York City." Uh, Kathy Hochul,

uh, authorized billions of dollars of state

taxpayer money,

uh, to pay for all these expenditures.

Meanwhile, she's fleecing hardworking New Yorkers-

I know

... $2,500 just for the privilege of driving

to work.

Uh, it, it really just speaks volumes to how

inept, incompetent, and

corrupt, uh, New York has become under feckless

leadership.

Mm-hmm. Right.

Uh, we have to stop this massive influx at the

border, which is

what President Trump is doing.

Is doing.

But we have to stop incentivizing states and cities like New

York by spending billions, and in this case from FEMA,

$59 million,

uh, to support their efforts to circumvent-

Mm

... federal law. That's really what this boils down to.

States like New York are circumventing federal law-

Right

... allowing illegal immigrants, uh, to get

benefits and access to taxpayer money.

All right. So let's talk about something else that's

just bizarre that, uh, is

happening in New York. New York's top court set to consider

non-citizen voting in New York City elections today.

Get this, non-citizens, you don't belong here,

you're not registered, blowing

off court appearance, doesn't matter.

That would add 800,000 non-citizen voters.

Why is this even a discussion?

It shouldn't be. Uh, New York Republicans fought back against

this effort, uh, several years ago.

We were victorious in the lower court and the appellate division, and

now it goes to the court of appeals.

Unfortunately, I, I'm a little, uh, bit concerned

because the New York Court of Appeals has been corrupted by Kathy

Hochul and New York Democrats. Uh, this is why they tried to-
