If their only crimes are being illegal, and they are in the process of becoming legal and paperwork awaiting, then I don't take issue.

But once illegals start committing crimes, that's an issue. And more so if it's a career criminal.

NY Governor Cuomo Grants Clemency To Illegal Aliens To Help Them Remain In The U.S.

Law-abiding citizens in New York continue to be put last.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo released a list of pardons and commutations on Christmas Eve.

Among the pardons were two illegal aliens.

Cuomo did to help them avoid deportation.

From The Press Release: (https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-cuomo-grants-clemency-21-individuals)

Kaydian McKenzie, 43, was convicted of Criminal Possession of Marijuana in the Second Degree and Criminal Trespass in the Third Degree in 2001 and 2002. Ms. McKenzie has been crime free for 18 years, is a registered nurse, and has worked at a nursing home in New York State throughout the COVID-19 public health crisis. In addition to her role as a frontline worker, Ms. McKenzie is the mother of three U.S. citizen and is active in her local church, where she has volunteered with a program that delivers food to older New Yorkers who are living alone. A pardon will help Ms. McKenzie remain in the United States with her family.

Rosario Pena, 61, was convicted of Petit Larceny and Attempted Robbery in the Second Degree in 1981 and 1986. Ms. Pena was forced to commit these crimes by sex traffickers to whom she fell victim. After a childhood marred by abuse, homelessness and years of victimization by traffickers, Ms. Pena has now been crime free for 34 years. A pardon will allow Ms. Pena to remain in the United States, where she has lived for more than 50 years.

It’s not the first time Cuomo did this.

The Gateway Pundit reported in 2019:


Democrat New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has pardoned 22 illegals to stop them from being deported.

The pardons were mostly for drug possession, but drug dealing, arson and robbery as well.

As my son calls him.... Larry, Curly, and Cuomo

Article VI Clause 2 of The US Constitution (aka “The Supremacy Clause”)

“This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding”

Despite what Emperor Andrew thinks, he has no authority to do this

He has authority to pardon violations of state law. To what extent that keep the feds from poking around is another question.

But he has no authority to contravene federal law.

Pardoning them to prevent them from deportation seems like he is exceeding his authority.

Of course he doesn't have that authority. His only authority is to how much it "helps" them remain. The offenses were like 20 and 40 years ago so I wonder what's going on now that this matters.

As if Cuomo and the Dems care about illegal immigrants. The only thing illegals are to the Dems and Cuomo are likely Democrat voters.

Once the Dems are in power, they will change the rules, including giving illegals citizenship, so that they will never lose another election.

Once it’s Mission accomplished, illegals and the rest of us be damned
