On Friday, Breitbart<\/a> reported the following:<\/p>\n

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is expanding his program that rewards newly arrived migrants with pre-loaded debit cards for food \u2014 paid for by New Yorkers who remain some of the most tax-burdened residents of the United States.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adams started the debit cards-for-migrants program in February, noting that it would cost about $53 million<\/a> to provide roughly 500 migrant families with the prepaid cards meant only for food. The program came even as a study recently found that 56 percent<\/a> of New Yorkers live near the poverty line.<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to The New York Times:<\/p>\n

The debit cards are expected to be distributed to more than 7,300 migrants over the next six months at a cost of about $2.6 million<\/span>, city officials said, building from a pilot program that began earlier this year with roughly 900 families, or nearly 3,000 migrants. [Emphasis added]\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

With more than 60,000 migrants currently in the city\u2019s care, the program \u2014 which is expanding from three hotels to 17 \u2014 could serve about 1,230 people per month<\/span>, or roughly 2 percent of the total migrant population. [Emphasis added]<\/strong><\/p>\n

The program is part of a contract with Mobility Capital Finance, known as MoCaFi, that could eventually cost the city as much as $53 million, with as much as $2 million going to the company and the rest being distributed to families, city officials said. Under the pilot program, a family of four with young children received about $350 per week for a month<\/span>. [Emphasis added]<\/strong><\/p>\n

I don’t want anyone to go without food, but why can’t we just send them home since we can’t afford them?<\/p>\n

Hotels are being paid to house the illegals. Again, why weren’t hotels being paid to house homeless veterans?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
