Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.
The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.
It’ll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall.
The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be kicked out of the program.
The Immediate Response Card initiative appears akin to the state’s food stamp program, dubbed SNAP, which provides lower-income New Yorkers with a credit card to cover the cost of meals, and will provide funds based on the same scale.
The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract. A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

What about homeless, pennyless American Vets?
Slush Fund? The SS surplus funds. Didn’t you knpw?
it’s coming...
Cloward and Piven in real time
New York was more civilized in the ‘20s then it is today, and had millions of actual immigrants then.
Of course they were all European, not subhumans from the slums of Caracas.
I like to think instead of all the misery these Venez toss-offs will encounter getting ripped off or worse monthly selling these cards. They left Venez for what? Pre-fabricated garbage food and the same life non-expectancy.
Only to be rounded up by TrumpII into camps with no free money, and sent back on Federal Exile.
SCHADENFREUDE!
Taxation without representation.
Taxpayers need to revolt. And hang the F’ng scumbags.
Dear Taxpayers of New York:
Please do let us know when you’ve had enough.
Love,
Your fellow citizens who aren’t robot imbeciles
In NYC? They voted for this guy.
Sadly... it seems you’re right.
This, on big banners at every border crossing, should be displayed, with a kiosk full of NYC maps available for all.
When did NYC get it’s money creating printing press?
why do we tolerate sit and watch as our country goes down the toilet at the hands of our very own

What’s the point? Hasn’t anyone told them that they can go into any store they choose and just take what they want? New York needs to take that $53M and instead, create a new program to send city workers around town to educate illegals on their right to just take whatever they want. At least that way some of the city’s bureaucrats can make some money off of it. Since their intent is to screw the law abiding, tax paying citizens, they’ll get more bang for their buck doing it this way.
Is it true that iNew York recently voted to allow illegal immigrants to vote? If so, you folks in New York, are royally SCREWED!
They can buy steaks lobster and Jim Beam. Since they have no kitchens to cook in..... Perhaps a smart restaurateur will cook their food for a fee. Or a smart guy can set up mini kitchens that you rent by the hour.
RE: When will the blacks demand their free stuff or burn it to the ground.
The Communist Party USA used to exploit black people (Leadbelly, Paul Robeson (singer and film actor), Alice Childress (received the Tony award for the 1944 Broadway play Anna Lucasia) and Lorraine Hansberry who won the NY Drama Critics Award for A Raisin in the Sun).
Used them to promote how lowly the black people’s chances were in America and how they needed to unite with other workers to overthrow capitalism here.
In 2024 why can’t the conservatives set up TV ads showing how black people are on the caboose of the Biden money train distributing millions of dollars to illegal immigrants instead of black people?
That money should be for plane tickets to mexico and further points south!
