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.

Of course, that won't gain the Democrats the pile of votes they expect from the wetbacks.
Might be another meaning for Mexican pot roast.
“Migrants must sign an affidavit promising to only use the cards for food and baby supplies“
Or WHAT?!!!?
We’re talking about a city that allows ILLEGALS (that would be people whose very presence is illegal) to kick cops in the head without any sanction WHATSOEVER!!!? There is no law for these people.

Many of these people used to make $20 per day working and fed their family. I know. I hire some. They also have cell phones and a house.
Many I know have made the trek to the US legally and raved about all of the money they made. To a person, they would return in 2 or 3 months saying although the money was good, they had to share a house with 10 other guys, work a full 8 hour day, and everything was so expensive. They were glad to be home.
Cut the services and they will self deport.

New York City went from bad to worse with Adams. What a jerk. But New York City got what they voted for so I can’t feel sorry for them except those who want to leave but don’t have the money to do so. I can’t imagine being stuck there.
Bait for more invaders slum city grows.
