NYC Mayor Eric Adams Defends Giving Migrants Prepaid Debit Cards
Breitbart ^ | 02/21/2024 | PAUL BOIS

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has defended a new pilot program to give migrants prepaid debit cards, saying it could save the city money.

“Adams spent a large portion of his weekly media availability on Tuesday defending the program, which could grow to cost the city $53 million, saying it will save the city money and eliminate food waste,” reported WPIX New York City.

The program could give up to 500 migrant families prepaid debit cards to purchase food and other supplies. Though rapper 50 Cent initially criticized the program, Eric Adams said he changed his position after the two shared a talk.

“People want to give the impression that we did this in the cloak of secrecy, that we’re not saving money, that’s just inaccurate,” Adams said.

He should be digging ditches over in Poughkeepsie; that’s all he’s fit and qualified to do.

Adams is a clown who tries to be entertaining but is not funny.

Since the priority seems to be saving the city money, buy them a one-way ticket into Mexico or Canada.

Mexico and Canada will have to deal with them, since those countries facilitated their illegal entry into the USA.

He’s praying the cards will stop illegals from stealing and committing crimes.

Well, in all fairness... you have to admit... that he’s pretty good at redistributing ‘other peoples money’.

Why just 500? If you are saving money why not save even more with 5000? Why not 50,000?

“This moron is way in over his head.”

But in this case, maybe underfed, unhappy migrants could become a really nasty problem there.

If my math is correct, and he is saving money by giving away 53 million in debit cards, he could save twice as much by giving me a 53 million dollar pre-paid card....

Quite honestly, it has been my experience via observing leftists for the past several decades... that these cretins aren’t even good at digging anything except, perhaps, their own graves.

I suspect that, unfortunately, that is part of the globalists’ long-term plan. For the entire nation. For every nation, in fact. They really are insane.

I have the same observation; and they seem to dig those graves on a daily basis, not just at election time.

Things are never so bad that a leftist can’t make worse.
