New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has made fresh comments on the current immigration crisis facing New York City, warning Congress that the “country’s border is too open right now,” and calling for limits “who can come across the border.”

In an interview on CBS’s “Face the Nation,” she remarked that the country’s border is currently too much of a free-for-all. She said that people from all over the world are being allowed into the country for “simply saying they need asylum” and ending up the streets of New York City.
