Did NY pass on buying ventilators to fund tuition for illegal aliens?

As New York state has become a global hot spot of the coronavirus pandemic, politicians have exchanged barbs, blaming each other for the crisis while allegations spread on social media.

On March 24, Facebook user Mike Proto posted to the public group “Feisty New Haveners Talk Politics” accusing New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo of declining to stock up on ventilators while supporting education for undocumented immigrants.

“Dear Gov. Cuomo. You had a chance to stock NY hospitals with ventilators 3 years ago. You used the money to give illegal aliens 'free' tuition,” the post reads. “We tried to tell you, nothing’s free. Now it’s Trump’s fault?”
