You’ve got to love the way progressives brazenly play the game. It’s like their own sanctioned, political version of Taqiyya – they’ll lie shamelessly to your face or act with unabashed deceit as if in sympathy with their constituents’ concerns, all the while manipulating the outcome in exact reverse behind the curtain.
Take the staggeringly incompetent governor of New York, Kathy Hochul, for a prime example. She knows the current state of affairs in New York City with illegal migrant arrivals has residents there – and by extension, the rest of the state – demanding action to contain the situation and preferably remove them, like, yesterday. She also knows all the mealy-mouthed Sanctuary City pulings about diversity and strength have instead proven to be crushing financial burden, trash, and exploding crime when concept turned to reality in the face of an actual human illegal influx.
After Venezuelan illegals gave a graphic exhibition the other day of what South America NOT sending its finest looked like…
DISGUSTING.
Criminals emboldened enough to attack NYPD officers have no regard for New Yorkers. Enough lawlessness. Enough madness!

…coupled with a crystal clear lesson on the ramifications of the brilliant new New York bail reform law…
SANCTUARY CITIES: Instead of showing remorse for beating up cops, these illegals smile and throw up middle fingers. All released without bail. No consequences in New York City. #NYC #NewYork #NewYorkCity #Border #BorderInvasion #BorderCrisis pic.twitter.com/24iXFjAQM4

…Gov Hochul decided, as Jazz reported, some very unprogressive tough talk was in order. Kind of throw the anti-illegal hounds off the scent.
…Video of the beating went viral and now the public is up in arms. Republican lawmakers are calling for the deportation of the thugs, all four of whom have been identified by name. Shockingly, Democratic Governor Kathy Hochul didn’t dismiss the idea out of hand. She went so far as to say that it’s an idea that “should be looked at.”
…The Democratic governor, speaking to reporters after announcing the nomination of Steven G. James as New York State Police Superintendent on Wednesday, was asked about the shocking beatdown and whether the asylum-seeking suspects should be deported.
“I think that’s actually something that should be looked at,” Hochul replied.
“I mean, if someone commits a crime against a police officer in the state of New York and they’re not here legally, it’s definitely worth checking into,” she said.
She’s a tough one, alright. All about protecting New Yorkers, and putting their safety and needs f-i-r-s-t. I mean, priorities, right?
RIGHT
Gov. Hochul’s got yer priorities right here, New Yorkers – never fear.
Gov. Hochul approves temporary government jobs for migrants
Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration recently agreed to a proposal that could make it easier for migrants to get temporary jobs in state government.
“Hotel owners and restaurant owners coming to me: ‘Can you send some of the migrants up here? We need them.’ I hear this in every corner of the state,” Hochul said Tuesday at an Albany-based press conference when asked about the program.
The Civil Service Commission voted to approve the measure on Jan. 18 and is working with agencies to implement the changes, which include dropping typical application requirements like proof of a high school diploma or proficiency in English.
“I have 10,000 openings in the New York State workforce. From our operations to SUNY, I have 10,000 openings. So this is to give options to people but to say we are working intensely to get work authorization — these are all legal people,” said Hochul.
The goal is to make it faster for migrants to get jobs once they get work authorization.
Hochul is eyeing 4,000 entry-level posts that are currently unfilled within state agencies, including clerical or administrative roles, technical support, equipment service and repair and food services.
Could be a struggle though. Seems the illegals are kind of fond of the city for whatever reason.
…“We’re also looking forward to the state continuing to work to resettle families,” said Anne Williams Isom, deputy mayor for Health and Human Services, during the City Hall-based press conference Tuesday.
But there’s an ongoing challenge convincing migrants to relocate upstate.
The state’s resettlement program has only moved 121 individuals outside the five boroughs. Another 364 have been approved and are awaiting placement, according to City Hall.
Well, and, hello – I have questions. So…one doesn’t need English to fill a NY state clerical job? No habla inglés es no problemo for a state ADMINISTRATIVE job, even…whut? And there’s been all these job openings at the state level for how long, and no New Yorkers to take them? Not a single one? Really?
That’s not what I’m reading in the comments on any of these stories, and having watched both Hubs and our son negotiate state and federal job boards, I can believe them.
alot of ny citizens have been trying to get a job with the state for years and never get a interview, class action lawsuit should be filled for discrimination
Speaking of which, did you know the state itself has an exclusive “migrant work portal“? This also is news to many of the citizens of the Empire State. So the governor has reportedly said, ergo must be true.
“…And the governor says there are currently 40,000 jobs listed on New York State’s migrant work portal…
Well…how much more accommodating can you get?
Maybe that “deportation” talk was just that much deceptive bunkum, huh? I mean – they need waiters upstate!
PRIORITIES
In the meantime, city residents (who voted for this disaster) are waking up to just what truly living in Sanctuary means for them, and are expressing themselves in NSFW terms about the lunatic asylum their city’s turned into. The one where Venezuelan illegals can stab each other over a girlfriend dispute with little NYPD interference, but a dropped piece of litter is a $3000 fine and a trip to the police station. [Seriously – the lady’s opinion is all New York: unfiltered, pithy, and NSFW]

The media isn’t helping in their obvious efforts to smooth over the illegals-wantonly-beating-cops-and-waltzing-free kerfluffle by insisting it’s “only 1%” of the hordes flooding the streets, hotels, shelters and community centers.
WATCH: CNN’s Erica Hill stunned speechless by report illegal migrants run crews that “operate in NY, do all their stealing, then go to Florida…”
“I’m like, ‘Why don’t they just stay and steal in Florida?’ They said, ‘Because there you go to jail.'”pic.twitter.com/ug9HyjqN9U

1%. ‘Tis to laugh.
It has to also be comforting to residents to know the New York City Council – again, they voted for these people – is firmly behind…everybody but the police which, by extension, includes the citizens they protect. This is that august body of progressives celebrating overriding a mayoral veto 4 days ago.
If you want to know why the city in chaos, why criminals have no fear of consequences, why our streets are flooded with illegals and homeless, why cops are attacked openly, why our subways are a disaster, why our kids can’t read, and why our tax base is fleeing… here you go. https://t.co/2cmB4xcDap

What Mayor Eric Adams vetoed but will now become law in the city, thanks to these repugnant borough representatives, is something called the “How Many Stops Act.”
…The context to this story is Mayor Adams’s recent veto of the council’s How Many Stops Act, which the council will likely override at its meeting on Tuesday, January 30. The How Many Stops Act would mandate that NYPD officers record data regarding virtually every low-level interaction they have with the public. Its backers, including Public Advocate Jumaane Williams and Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, insist that the legislation is just a good-government transparency measure and necessary because of the racial disparities that supposedly still define police stops in New York City—a decade after the city threw in the towel on a civil rights lawsuit regarding its “Stop, Question, and Frisk” policies. Speaker Adams released an infographic claiming that “97% of people stopped by the mayor’s new NYPD unit were Black or Latino,” referring to the mayor’s reconstitution of the proactive Anti-Crime Unit.
That sounds disproportionate in a city that is only 52 percent black or Latino. But, as the NYPD reported for 2022, “the race/ethnicity of known Shooting suspects is most frequently Black (71.2%). Hispanic suspects accounted for an additional (26.3%) of all suspects.” Black and Hispanic New Yorkers thus account for 97.5 percent of those suspected of gun violence. Given the Anti-Crime Unit’s focus on getting guns off the street, it is no great surprise that their efforts would be directed toward the same population committing the crimes.
The point of the How Many Stops Act, as with many other policing “reform” measures enacted over the last 15 years, is to interfere with street-level police work, bog down officers with data collection, and neuter policing by discouraging cops from bothering to fight or investigate crime. Salaam and his radical colleagues are manipulating a banal, legitimate, and inconsequential traffic stop to shore up support for their effort to override the mayor’s veto. Salaam, a cause célèbre for the abolitionist Left, is playing up his martyr status for political ends. As such, he is trying to enflame racial divisions and exploit fear and resentment against cops at a moment when New York desperately needs them to keep the city from collapsing.
It is no doubt destined soon to be renamed the “How Many Cops Have Quit This Week Act.”
Virtue signaling has a price everyone gets to pay except the people doing it.
I doubt cops walking out will try for any of those waiter and service jobs upstate, but maybe they can get something in government tech support. You know – if being a cop hasn’t already blackballed them.
These days, nothing beats being prime NY employment candidates like illegal, Venezuelan, cop-thumping gang members who have their own, exclusive state work portal.
