Seneca County leader says they cannot handle influx of migrants because social services, housing are already strained.
How should Upstate counties handle the prospect of asylum seekers being sent their way? While some counties have released broad resolutions opposing it, as state officials like Gov. Kathy Hochul mull over its options, Seneca County Board of Supervisors Chair Michael Enslow said he’s looking for clarity. He emphasized that while Seneca County is hospitable, it has its limitations. The county, one of the smallest in New York State, is already grappling with a strained housing situation and an overworked public assistance network. He talked in-depth about his rationale about the topic in a statement released early-Friday morning.
