Cuomo proposes immigrant defense fund, decries post-election anger

ALBANY – Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Sunday took to an historic Harlem church to rail against what he says has been increasing public expressions of anger and anxiety in the nation by supporters of Donald Trump since his election as president.

The Democratic governor said New York will take specific steps to highlight what he says has been the state’s role as "the social conscience" of the nation.

"New York is going to lead the way in stopping the anger," Cuomo told congregants in Abyssinian Baptist Church during its 9 a.m. service. He added, "You spread fear and we will spread love."

The governor said he will be proposing a new "public/private legal defense fund" that will be available to immigrants who are unable to afford legal services. The plan will be included in his proposed 2017 state budget that he will unveil in January.

So once again - this Dem cry baby is gonna use a tax payer funded scam to fight our Government.

Bottom line that's what he's gonna do !

Why doesn't he set up a fund to support poor NYorkers or homeless veterans ?

I am so sick of these Dem obstructionists acting like they are fighting for others - when all he's doing is using tax dollars to fight a Party Political fight.

Dem Mayors and Governors all over America are fighting to keep Federal aid they get for Immigrants and refugees. Let's be honest - that's exactly what they are fighting for - its not a humanitarian effort. HYPOCRIT !

If he's proposing it he's already figured out a way to scam it to make $$$ for him and his friends.
