‘The Southern States Were Right’: Andrew Cuomo Rips Into Biden Over Border Crisis

Former Governor Andrew Cuomo (D-NY), let President Joe Biden get away with it over the U.S.-Mexico Border Crisis. He said Wednesday that he was wrong to drastically change border policy and not have a plan to deal with the consequences.

Cuomo made the remarks during his most recent episode podcast — “As a Matter of Fact …” — and he even went so far as to say that “the southern states were right” They warned Biden to not undo the policies of former President Donald Trump’s administration.

“It was a mistake for President Biden to open the border without having a plan to handle the tremendous flow of people,” Cuomo explained, adding, “President Biden had said he would do it in the campaign — but you can’t change a policy unless you have the program in place to manage the change.”

Cuomo’s criticism was not necessarily an attack on the Biden administration’s goals with regard to immigration reform — but rather, he argued that Biden’s team had made it clear that they either did not anticipate or failed to mitigate the “consequences of enacting those promises” That he had done during the campaign.

The disgraced former governor had equal criticism for the border states who had responded to the crisis by busing illegal immigrants to sanctuary cities, but he did acknowledge that Biden’s border policies had created an unnecessary hardship for them.

“The southern states were right that opening the border created a tremendous hardship for them to handle. They were right that the federal government was not prepared,” He said that he added, “This is a federal problem. Immigration is a federal responsibility. … The border is not just the gateway for people, but for drugs. This is on top of a homeless problem that had already strained resources in urban areas.”

Cuomo went on to say that his successor, Governor Kathy Hochul (D-NY) should have stepped in to assist when immigrants were bused into New York City — rather than leaving Mayor Eric Adams to Handle the situation on his own — and appeared to throw support behind Vice President Kamala Harris’ plan to Funding funnel investments In Central American companies to stop illegal immigration from one source.
