Too bad that hard working, tax paying citizens can’t get a gift of $18,000 for following the rules of civilization. Just too damn bad.
Yes, it boggles the mind and offends all sensibility.
These bums need to be forcibly ejected from our land.

Every NYC official involved in this should be charged, tried, convicted and sentenced to hang for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

They voted for it.

The welfare cards are redeemed at the grocery store or bodega for gift cards. The gift cards can be used for anything. Thats how the regular poor people get around the limits to the snap, wic, or other welfare card.

It’s for the Bodegas

There are people who have paid into Social Security all their lives and don’t get that much!!!!!!

18K is more than I get in retirement pension from Uncle Sam. Must be nice.

[Karoo]

The illegals will be getting more than US disabled and SSA retirees. Not sure how much our Veterans get.

Ok. Thanks.

That’s the taxpayers’ gift that keeps on giving. Gift cards.

[bk1000]

Keep paying your taxes!

[toddausauras]

Agree.

[neverevergiveup]

More than $8 million/year for 450 non-citizens here illegally.

Migrant families in New York city have begun receiving prepaid debit cards as part of a controversial scheme that could see them receive up to $18,200 a year.

FYI, a veteran with a service-related disability rating of 60% doesn't get that much help.

The stupid New Yorkers will continue to vote RAT in spite of being destroyed by their own government.

[henbane]

Mayor Eric Adams is pressing ahead with the $53 million scheme, despite a furious backlash amid fears the cards are open to abuse.

Is this the same Mayor Adams bitterly complaining about being "Overwhelmed" by the influx of illegals?

Now--with this big cash hand-out--Adams has created a giant magnet that guarantees to draw hundreds of thousands--perhaps millions--of the world's grifters to his NYC realm.

Adams's mind has broken under the pressure of governing a major metropolis inundated by a huge army of money-grubbers. The Mayor has lost his mind.

New York Taxpayers can afford it, maybe they Illegal Aliens need a raise to help with inflation

When we die?

18,200 dollars a year, that’s more than these WETBACKS have earned in their entire lives!
