The Biden administration has resumed its transportation of migrants throughout the country as the massive influx of migrants continues to grip the U.S. southern border.
One of many candidates for the crowded New York governor's race, Rob Astorino told FOX Business's Maria Bartiromo that the administration's actions are absurd and a complete lack of respect for Americans after sounding the alarm on the issue months prior.
It is Biden Express from El Paso to regional airports, including Westchester, the N.Y. gubernatorial candidate told the Mornings with Maria host on Wednesday.
In January 2022, Astorino publicly shared footage from August showing charter flights and buses landing in New York after midnight carrying illegal immigrants from the southern border.
The White House responded to the claims back in January, arguing that the footage was neither news nor new. The N.Y. native says the flights are back and that the operation is no longer visible as they have moved closer to the airport's terminal, out of view of the public.
He said that no matter where they go, they're going to get help from the United States government here in New York.
Astorino slammed Gov. Kathy Hochul s handling of the crisis, blasting the $2 billion set aside for illegal immigrants in the state budget as a magnet. That is an invitation to always cross the border and you're going to get flown up here with a phone that you get at the border and then everything else, he explained.
Astorino is a vocal critic of the Democratic leadership for exacerbating the migrant crisis through their series of policies and accommodations.
There is no distinction between what is the definition of a citizen and a non-citizen in this country under Biden, he said.
