Mayor Bill de Blasio created a $150,000-a-year job to boost his national immigration agenda and then the cushy position was handed to the live-in girlfriend of one of his most trusted aides, The Post has learned.
Stephanie Yazgi, 38, the longtime partner of senior mayoral aide Emma Wolfe, 35, was hired in May for the unadvertised position of campaign director in the mayors Office of Immigrant Affairs.
Thats just a made-up position, said one Democratic insider. It makes no sense. They create a position for her for $150,000 thats a redundancy.
Yazgi will be responsible for overseeing the mayors national organizing efforts on immigration, specifically the Cities for Action on Immigration coalition, according to a job description provided by City Hall.
The position was initially to be funded by a private grant, but because of delays, taxpayers will be footing the bill instead.

According to the Huffington Post, EIT is running a $250,000 advertising campaign in favor of the Senates Gang of Eight immigration bill. Even so, EIT admitted to Breitbart News it does not legally exist as an incorporated political entity or non-profit organization but said NIF is the group that facilitates its activities.
NIF is a power player in immigration politics, and includes among its leadership some of the most powerful Washington figures on the issue.
In 2009, OSI donated $257,152 to NIF aimed at implementing immigration reform campaign through communications, policy, and field organizing.
Also in 2009, OSI donated another $1.5 million to allow NIF to manage and lead Four Pillars Campaign for comprehensive immigration reform, and sustain core policy work supporting and leading policy efforts.
A year later, in 2010, Soross OSI gave NIF another $1.5 million over two separate grants both intended for general operating support.
NIF has also received $1 million total from the leftist Ford Foundation, spread over two separate half-million-dollar grants in 2009 and 2011. Those grants were both intended for advocacy in favor of comprehensive immigration reform.
