On June 29, 2023, Tioga County Legislative Chair Martha Sauerbrey extended the State of Emergency regarding the possible arrival of migrants or asylum seekers due to the national immigration crisis and the plans involving the relocation of migrants from New York City to other counties outside of New York City. The order, originally issued on May 11, is now extended until July 4, 2023.
The county’s action was taken as a response to the expiration of Title 42 and the anticipated arrival of many migrants and asylum seekers.
The Local Emergency Order shall remain in effect for five days unless sooner modified, extended, or revoked, and may be extended for additional periods not to exceed five days during the pendency of the local state of emergency.

Talk about lacking any and all knowledge of history or understanding of the human condition! This country was conceived and created by immigrants; unfortunately, a disgraceful percentage of their offspring have no connection to or understanding of their immigrant past, which ultimately predicates a total lack of empathy for the present. These county legislatures who pass these bills tend to be composed of some of the most ignorant and pedestrian characters in the communities they represent. The idea that “immigrants” threaten their way life describes a mentality that can only comprehend a world no farther than their own backyards, and one that is as nonsensical as the flapdoodle they follow in their selective media. Over the coming decades, the climate crisis will engender a humanitarian crisis of incomprehensible proportions as areas of the planet become uninhabitable. In short order, refugees from all parts of the planet will be compelled to seek new lives in areas of the planet that are still habitable. These “immigrants” that we find making their way north, are just the start. There will be tens of millions and more on the move as the years progress. And for an aging population like ours, those “immigrants” will likely be our caretakers, and their children will be the next generation of people who must try to reconstruct a decimated planet…
