LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. (WKBW) — A new Siena College poll is shedding light on how some people feel about the migrant situation here in New York State.

More than half of voters in the poll say they are against temporarily housing migrants at SUNY schools. 7 News has previously reported on a possible plan to use unused dorms at SUNY Buffalo State.

46% say they are against relocating migrants from New York City to other counties in the state.

New York City says it will pay for the cost of transporting migrants. Some migrants were transported to Western New York last month.
