Poloncarz: Erie County won't declare emergency to block asylum-seekers

Seven Western New York counties have declared states of emergency to block New York City from sending migrants and asylum-seekers to local hotels over the past few weeks.

The exception: Erie County.

On Saturday, County Executive Mark Poloncarz said he will not be issuing any order that would "prohibit the housing of legal asylum-seekers in our community."

"Not only is such an order illegal under Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, it is morally repugnant," Poloncarz said in a statement he posted to Twitter.

New York City has had more than 60,000 migrants arriving within the past year, forcing city officials to look for housing options outside the city, including busing people to hotels in neighboring Rockland and Orange counties.

valid point. People support stuff that doesn't directly effect them. Now that it effects them it's an issue..

I still think every democrat county office and local democrat office should be an immigrant shelter.
