New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Tuesday that she wants to spend $2.4 billion to care for the massive influx of migrants who have overwhelmed New York City's homeless shelters - addressing a damaging political issue for Democrats in her annual state budget proposal.

Republicans have been lobbing steady criticism at President Joe Biden and fellow Democrats over federal immigration policy, with the subject already touching races in New York.
