Tens of thousands of migrants have flooded “sanctuary city” New York. The Democrat mayor has frequently complained about the problem. Yet, he is unwilling to remove the illegal aliens that flood the city streets and put a huge burden on residents.

Recently, he announced the city was slashing billions from its budget to accommodate migrants. Mayor Adams was taking funds from needed services, to deal with this crisis.

New Yorkers will have fewer resources at their disposal. Everyone from police officers to teachers will feel the pinch. Meanwhile, the city is providing border jumpers with a major gift. Instead of sending them back to their countries, Adams is giving them debit cards.

From The Post Millennial:
New York City has begun handing out prepaid debit cards to illegal immigrants in the city this week under a $53 million contract for the deal…

The City Hall spokesperson said that a family with two parents and kids under the age of five will receive around $350 per week.

Around 460 illegal immigrants will be covered under the pilot program of the 64,500 illegal immigrants under the city’s care.

As the mayor cuts resources from city services, he is handing out prepaid debit cards to illegal aliens. Mayor Adams claimed this will save the city money, but it will still cost taxpayers $53 million.

Fifty-three million dollars to provide debit cards to just 460 migrants? That math doesn’t seem to add up. That’s over $115,000 per migrant. Before the tech company running the program takes its cut, of course. And all the other bloat and red tape that comes with a government program.

Mayor Adams has been complaining about the migrant crisis for months. He has demanded money from the Biden administration. He has sued Texas for sending migrants up North. He has even threatened the bus companies that are bringing migrants into the city.

Yet he has failed to call on the federal government to enforce immigration law and deport illegal aliens. Millions of migrants have illegally entered the country since 2021. These border jumpers have put a burden on emergency services, healthcare organizations, communities, and other services meant for Americans. They are taking jobs, housing, and other resources from Americans.

Yet Biden continues to put them ahead of his own citizens.

Key Takeaways:

• New York is handing out free, prepaid debit cards to illegal aliens.
• The program will cost $53 million but will only service 460 people.
• This comes as the mayor slashed the city’s budget to accommodate illegals.
