New York City to Give Migrant Families Debit Cards for Food, Baby Supplies
Breitbart ^ | 03/25/2024 | PAUL BOIS

New York City will give debit cards to migrant families for food and baby supplies.

The first cards will be distributed to families on Monday, sparking fear that the new program could lead to fraud or abuse as well as speculation that the city will be prioritizing migrants over current citizens. As many 180,000 migrants have arrived in the city over the last two years with 65,000 now in shelters.

“A family of four is expected to receive up to $350 per week under the program, which will last six weeks, city officials said. The program will begin with 10 families on Monday, expanding to about 115 families, or roughly 450 people, over the next week,” noted the New York Times.

All those people who came in through Ellis Island back in the day (as depicted in The Godfather II) certainly did not get anything like that.

How do you write this without explaining the source of the funds used to pay for it? Not a word about state or federal funding.

This shouldn’t be too bad.

Most of the migrants seem to be unattached military age males who’ve left their womenfolk and kids behind.

“turn it into Cash to send to their home countries”

They are being let in to vote democrat.....that’s the plan.

Anyone that refers to it as a crisis is ignorant....

No money left for seniors, disabled and veterans, but by golly all kinds of money to throw at ILLEGAL INVADERS who,have done absolutely zero to contribute to the tax and social security pool.

$390,000 for illegals per family per year after everything is added up. Seniors and disabled live off as little as $10,000 a year plus medical which would add abput another $20,000 or so for cases where the people are disabled or injured. I guess though ILLEGAL INVADERS are far more important than actual citizens

NYC and other liberal/sanctuary cities need to make those migrants happy, because, those are the replacements for the millions of residents who decided to leave those cities after the destructive policies that have hurt those former residents. Those liberal cities need to take in millions of migrants to replace the millions of former residents. So, free money and free rents and free medical care and free schooling and free creditt cards...etc will be coming to keep those ‘replacements’ in place.

Those illegal new residents will insure that the liberal cities don’t lose representation in congress, and that the electoral college votes don’t all go to the red cities and red states.

They got fed while they were there, but once they left they were expected (and actually required by law) to take care of themselves and not be a burden on the public.

On the other hand, these immigrants were legal, were examined for communicable diseases, and questioned as to their political beliefs. If the authorities didn’t like what they saw, they were sent back.

Good news as I get ready to pay my federal (and state) taxes.

Good to know my hard-earned money is being given to illegals - and not native Americans, vets, homeless, etc., - not that they need that $$, apparently they don’t.

Gibs me dat

I knew we were in big trouble when George W Bush sold out American citizens for illegal border jumpers

And it’s only gotten much worse - except for President Trump and they did all they could (and still do) to oppose him

The Invader Card. Don’t enter another country unless they give you one.

My daughter was offered a government welfare debit card. At half price. She could have bought $500 of goods by giving the person next door to her $250 in cash. Seems you couldn’t buy booze on the debit card...

My daughter passed on the offer. She didn’t report them because she didn’t want to be beaten up some dark night. Happily, she soon moved to a better neighborhood.
