New York City to hand out $53 million in pre-paid credit cards to migrant families: report

[Hollie]

What better way to celebrate and announce your status as a sanctuary city than to fleece the taxpayers by offering their money to fund 'free stuff' for illegals.

I suppose Dem / Marxist mayors and governors will continue to falsely complain about the burden imposed by illegals in their sanctuary cities while at the same time spending $ millions of dollars to attract them.

New York City to hand out $53 million in prepaid credit cards to migrant families: report

Mayor Eric Adams insists NYC migrant crisis has nothing to do with sanctuary city status​

 

[Rambunctious]

Where does NY and CA get all of this money to hand out to illegals?.... both states are bankrupt....

In the case of sanctuary city Denver, the mayor identifies cutting services by 15% as a way to spend more on importing illegals.

 

[Polishprince]

I thought New York City wanted to reduce the number of Illegals in their city? How is paying them to come supposed to help? Unless the plan is to mail the cards to migrants in Eagle Pass or El Paso and hope they will stay there?

Free money to illegals while homeless veterans are living on the streets.

Can we take legal action against those who sent them to Iraq to look for weapons that we knew weren`t there?

 

[Blaster]

Their choice.

Most of them are suffering from PTSD.

 

[shockedcanadian]

Homeless veterans who risked their life for their country are left to fend for themselves. Quite extraordinary really.

It seems that half of the people who served are claiming PTSD. It beats having to get an actual job.

You obviously were never in a war zone.

You obviously were never in a war zone.

My father and several uncles came home from WW2, got jobs, got married and raised kids and didn`t spend the rest of their lives saying "pity me because I was in a war zone". PTSD is a recent invention. In my 35 years in a steel mill, 9 men and one woman were killed but the rest of us continued to work in that virtual war zone. No one claimed PTSD.

Mayor at presser.

(1) The sanctuary cities have city councils that were elected by the people (and some cities may allow non-citizens to vote).

(2) So presumably the people of those cities approve of what is being done for unauthorized migrants.

(3) The D.A. of Manhattan has been criticized regarding the treatment of those young gentlemen who beat up those two police officers. But again, the people elected the officials who support the no-bail law.

(4) Therefore, giving a credit card to those new residents seems to make sense. I do not know the details, but those new residents do not have employment yet, so those credit cards can help with their expenses.

Working in a steel mill is the same as surviving an artillery bombardment.

You fell down and bumped your head again, right?

What was the date of the city council meeting when the $ millions of dollars were authorized to be spent on the illegals?

I know very little about my city council's actions, let alone anything about New York City's.

But the city council in NYC was elected by the people, so presumably they share the view of their representatives that everything should be done for the unauthorized migrants.

If I were a merchant, I would cut up any such cards offered me as payment because in effect, these people are offering to pay me with my own money!

Looks like the thing is a scam to put money in people's pocket. Which I'm sure surprised no one here.

Inside Mayor Adams’ migrant debit card boondoggle — no-bid bank will hand out thousands to border crossers

Mayor Adams’ debit-card program for migrants has the potential to become an open-ended, multi-billion-dollar Bermuda Triangle of disappearing, untraceable cash, used for any purpose.

So without even trying to find the best deal he just starts shoveling money to a minority based business which I'm sure will kick back to him.

 

[Polishprince]

What's there to "investigate"? The program is an unbridled success. It was designed to encourage Illegals to flock to the big apple, and indeed they are.

Finally, a program that accomplishes its goals.

Just another part of the Dem / Socialist scheme to buy a welfare dependent voter block.

NYC law that would have allowed 800K noncitizens to vote struck as unconstitutional by appeals court: ‘Enacted in violation’

A controversial New York City law that would allow 800,000 non-citizens to vote in municipal elections was struck down as unconstitutional by a state appeals court Wednesday.

The leftists knew their scam to get 800,000 non-citizen voters was illegal but that obviously didn't stop them from trying to cheat.

A minority based business handing out pre-paid debit cards will buy a lot of votes.
