The cultural divide widens. While President Trump has restricted Muslim visitors and cracked down on Mexican immigration, the state of New York has announced even more protection of their immigrant population. In their 2018 budget, lawmakers granted $4 million to expand the New York Immigrant Family Unity Project, which provides public defenders to immigrants facing deportation who can’t afford other counsel.
New York is the first state in the country to create such a rich system of legal services for immigrants. In a tweet today, NY Attorney General Eric Schneiderman confirmed the news, saying, “Every New Yorker deserves a fair day in court. For the first time, every immigrant under threat of deportation will be guaranteed theirs.”
Of course, they’re not actually New Yorkers. They’re Mexicans, Hondurans, from China, the Dominican Republic, Burkino Faso, Ecuador, El Salvador (most like MS-13), India, and other nations.

We have veterans who need assistance yet NY has money to waste on this. Shameful!!
1023, might I add that we also have many HOMELESS veterans who need assistance...in NY too!!!!!!!!!!
so they are a sanctuary state, free college and now this. Seems like NY is writing some very big checks that will need to get paid out. Illegals are illegal period! Why waste tax payers recourses to protect them.

Why on earth does FOX keep this loser Juan around. Charles Krauthammer is as bad, along with fat headed Karl Rove. I use to like them all, but they have gone off the deep end like Beck.
10:23 if it's such an easy fix what are you doing to help them?
Just wait until NYC and then NY both run out of money and appeal to the US Government for a bailout. The Govt. will acquiesce and give them our bail's to use. I say let NYC go, let CA go and if needed, let MN go and while we're at it, let the Eastern Shore go its own way too (but for different reasons).
Just my two cents.
Any appeal will be DENIED!
Wait. Aiding and abetting (sp?) known criminals is illegal. Everywhere. How does NY justify doing this unlawful act on illegal (criminal for just that alone) immigrants, yet is not spending that money on our homeless and not homeless veterans?
