Congresswoman Elise Stefanik issued a statement following a WPTZ report indicating that 2024 will see record numbers of illegal crossings along Upstate New York's Northern Border. The issue has gained national media attention, highlighting illegal crossings on North Country farmland and featuring a viral YouTube video where the Clinton County Sheriff's office detailed the extent of the crisis.
“I have been sounding the alarm for years about the record-setting numbers of illegals invading our Northern Border, flooding into New York as a result of the failed open border policies of open border czar Kamala Harris and incentivized by the disastrous sanctuary city policies of Kathy Hochul, Eric Adams, Chuck Schumer, and Far Left NY Democrats. As the Representative of NY21, I have seen firsthand the destruction caused to our communities by this crisis Democrats created. While Far Left Democrats put the interests of illegal immigrants over Americans, House Republicans are fighting to return to the border policies of President Trump, who created the most secure border in history,” said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.
