The pilot program is being rolled out at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan, with 500 families involved, The New York Post reported.
A family of four will get a card loaded with $1,000-a-month, equivalent to $35 a day.
But 50 Cent took to Instagram on Saturday to hit out at the scheme and suggested Donald Trump is the answer to the city's problems
The rapper shared a post on Instagram about the plan to hand out pre-paid cards for migrants to buy food and baby supplies.
'WTF Mayor Adams call my phone,' he wrote. 'I don't understand how this works, somebody explain this. I'm stuck, maybe TRUMP is the answer.'
'I don’t understand this, this it going to cost 2.6 billion dollars for tax payers,' he said on January 3.
'They don’t even give veterans health insurance. @arimelber call my phone now, help me understand this s**t. WTF.'
The New York City program will see those selected will be given cards which can be only used at bodegas, supermarkets and delis.
Migrants must sign an affidavit promising to only use the cards for food and baby supplies
The amount on each card will depend on individual circumstances. It is unclear how city officials will check if cards are being abused - and if the scheme will worsen the crisis by encouraging other migrants to head to the Big Apple in the hopes of receiving free money.
A family of four could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which is $35 per day for food for the four.
At present, each migrant meal costs $11, so feeding a family of four for a day could cost up to $132.
Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

when you’ve lost 50 cent...
I manage to do it for less money than that. Quite a lot less.
Anyone care to explain what a "migrant meal" is?
Good thing money isn’t fungible.
50 cent just might be worth a dollar after this.
If nothing else the Feds will be able to track WHOMEVER it is that is using the cards. What a clusterf:/k of idiocy.
Tell me about it, even with the Biden intentional inflation. A DAY?? I could make that last a week. On the other hand, the illegal aliens are living in one of the most expensive cities in the world which makes about as much sense as Chris Christie trying to lose weight in a donut shop
How does he manage to avoid the ravages of inflation?
This is infuriating. It’s like they look for ways to say “**** you!” to legal Americans.

holy mackerel- what is going on lately? lefty People coming to their senses all of a sudden? Snoop Dog- Others recently-
*** Migrants must sign an affidavit promising to only use the cards for food and baby supplies.***
LOLOLOLOL
So what happens if they don’t use it for that?
(Crickets)
You see 50. It’s only inflationary when it benefits American citizens. You’re just not sophisticated enough to understand. There are complex formulas and derivatives involved.
So, criminals are only asked to pinky swear that they will use the cards for food and baby supplies. That is a knee-slapper.
Adams and his administration are imbeciles.
If he were to join the project, they would only need $52,999,999.50 more
It’s why I stopped being pentecostal; it takes at least a quarter now
If we had an actual Republican party they would be exploiting the hell out of this in the black community instead of leaving it to rappers, but of course under Mitch McConnell we dont have a party and the DemoMarxists will be allowed to twist this any which way they want, even blame it on Republicans.
