Just another step in turning these illegals into forever Democrat voters.

15 million? What’s that? A 1% down payment on the real cost?

15 million will never cover it. Expect much more if this passes.

Just a guess on my part

Wouldn’t be less expensive and the taxpayer be better served if these illegal immigrants were deported back to their home countries.

Probably a brainwashing scheme.

Mental health counseling means repeating a vote rat mantra.

Shrinks are such pushovers. They’ve let their profession become as worthless as global warming hacks.

That $15M would better serve the American citizens by using it to buy bus tickets to Mexico City for the illegal aliens...

INVADERS with mental health issues. DANGEROUS. Those who aid and abet them...TREASONOUS.

I think the idiots in the City Council would benefit from the mental health services more than the illegal criminal invader trash. Their insanity threatens all NY citizens.

Count you blessings if you do not live in an area with LIB nitwits in charge. These smooth-brained fools need placed in residential mental facilities.

Doesn’t matter. Just like CA, NY is deep blue and can spend with abandon because the Feds, (e.g. all taxpayers), will cover the costs.

“15 million? What’s that? “

It’s $15 million more than the idiots running New York have as they’re about $100 billion in debt
