New York Governor Kathy Hochul is facing backlash over her plan to retool the Civil Service Commission, which would put illegal aliens at the head of the line for state jobs. The plan, approved on January 18, aims to fast-track illegal aliens into state jobs by eliminating requirements such as taking the civil service exam and having a high school diploma.
Hochul claims that business owners across the state are pleading with her to approve illegals for jobs, citing a need for workers in industries such as hospitality. New York City Mayor Eric Adams also supports the plan, hoping to fill labor shortages in sectors like lifeguarding.
State Senate Labor Committee chair Jessica Ramos advocates for the plan, conflating “New Yorkers” with migrants and pushing for higher taxes on “the rich” to fund new jobs. However, the state is already experiencing an exodus of high-income earners due to confiscatory tax rates and anti-business policies, with a 2022 study showing a 10% loss of taxpayers earning over $750,000.
Critics argue that the plan prioritizes illegal aliens over citizens and will exacerbate income inequality. As the state continues to lose “the rich” and working-class individuals, concerns arise about the impact on New York’s economy and business climate.

I keep thinking about this: How about citizens of NY denounce their US birthright and destroy their ID, and declare themselves asylum seekers, asylum from the discriminatory oppressive US government, federal and local, which keeps jacking up taxes to pay for illegals…
A preference to aliens would probably be illegal for a variety of reasons. Waiving an academic diploma requirement would help a good many people (including many illegal aliens, not to mention many frum Jews). Letting illegal aliens become legal aliens would help ease the problem of business being unable to find workers, but the same arguments that cause others to flee New York (high taxes, a bad climate for opening a business) would affect the formerly illegal aliens, most of whom came to America the hope of getting rich, which is much easier in red states.
Giving government jobs to non-citizens, especially non-citizens who are ILLEGAL ALIENS, is a super-massive insult-and-attack against millions of law-compliant tax-paying citizens, especially those who are unemployed or under-employed.
Why should anyone who lives in the USA even *** PRETEND *** to obey the laws, when ILLEGAL ALIENS who are obvious law-breakers are given: free housing, free food, free electricity, free water, free money and government jobs?
But Skver and Satmar will still vote for her “אלץ הכרת הטוב”…
Gee!! Now I get it:- Congestion pricing for cars 🚗 below 60 Street, to fund jobs for these illegal migrants
No Zacher of Bavel , Persia, Rome , Greece , Aztecs …and soon USA !!!!
How will they get paid if they’re not legal? How will faderal and local taxes and FICA get paid? Or do they not have to pay those since they’re not legal?
