The county is located about 2,000 miles from the Texas\u2013Mexico border.<\/p>\n<p>Day expressed his concern about the lack of infrastructure to care for the immigrants, stating that the county already has a housing crisis due to the lack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/nyc-schools-facing-challenges-with-migrant-children\/\" title=\"NYC Schools Facing Challenges with Migrant Children\">affordable housing options<\/a>. He added that sending busloads of people to the county would only compound the issue tenfold while straining support systems that are already at a breaking point.<\/p>\n<p>Day, a Republican, also noted that New York City declared itself a sanctuary city in December 2016, committing itself to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/county-thousands-of-miles-from-southern-border-declares-state-of-emergency-over-illegal-immigration-2\/\" title=\"County far from southern border declares emergency due to illegal immigration.\">supporting undocumented individuals<\/a>, while Rockland County has not. He added that the county is one-tenth the population of New York City and incapable of receiving and sustaining the volume of undocumented migrants Mayor Eric Adams intends to send over.<\/p>\n<p>The state of emergency will prohibit other municipalities from bringing and housing people in Rockland County, adding that it will prohibit hotels from housing immigrants without a license. It will remain in effect for 30 days from May 6 and could be extended from there.<\/p>\n<p>Officials in New York City told the New York Post that Day is exaggerating the numbers of illegal immigrants who might be sent to Orangeburg. They said that at most, 300 illegal aliens total would have the choice to be housed in Rockland or nearby Orange County.<\/p>\n<p>Since last year, tens of thousands of illegal immigrants sourced from the U.S.\u2013Mexico border have been bused to New York City under a program spearheaded by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott. Former Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey also sent busloads of aliens to a handful of Democrat-run cities such as New York before his term as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/county-thousands-of-miles-from-southern-border-declares-state-of-emergency-over-illegal-immigration\/\" title=\"County far from Southern Border declares emergency due to illegal immigration.\">governor ended earlier<\/a> this year.<\/p>\n<p>Advocates for illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers also condemned Adams\u2019s plan to bus asylum-seekers to other parts of the state, stating that it is the same as tossing people into the middle of the ocean with nowhere to swim.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Rockland County Executive Ed Day declared a state of emergency after city officials approved a plan to send illegal immigrants there.<\/li>\n<li>Day expressed his concern about the lack of infrastructure to care for the immigrants, stating that the county already has a housing crisis due to the lack of affordable housing options.<\/li>\n<li>The state of emergency will prohibit other municipalities from bringing and housing people in Rockland County, adding that it will prohibit hotels from housing immigrants without a license.<\/li>\n<li>Officials in New York City told the New York Post that Day is exaggerating the numbers of illegal immigrants who might be sent to Orangeburg.<\/li>\n<li>Advocates for illegal immigrants and asylum-seekers also condemned Adams\u2019s plan to bus asylum-seekers to other parts of the state.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Officials in a county that\u2019s just north of New York City\u00a0have\u00a0declared a state of emergency after city officials decided to approve a plan to send illegal immigrants there.
