The feds are finally set to release more than $100 million in migrant aid to New York City that sat untouched for months — a delay that fueled tensions between City Hall and the Biden administration.

The $106 million in aid — the rest of a $150 million package earmarked for the Big Apple by Congress last summer — will be made available on Thursday after the Federal Emergency Management Agency formally signs off on City Hall’s reimbursement applications, according to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s office.

“I worked hard with NYC and FEMA to deliver these funds,” Schumer (D-NY) said on social media. “Now Republicans must stop blocking the strong, bipartisan border bill, which can deliver more.”

The senator, who worked as a liaison between the city and the feds, arranged for FEMA to send a team to the Big Apple to assist the Adams administration with grant paperwork and applications to raise the cap on hotel reimbursements to 15%.

The previous limit only allowed for 10% of total aid to be used on housing migrants in hotels

Hey! Fags and commies stick together. This is no surprise.

But, helping veterans? Forget about it! How about Christian missionaries in Haiti? No way!

But aiding and abetting the overthrow and collapse of America? They're definitely on board.

How tardy will IRS refunds be this year so INVADERS can get supported???

[rovenstinez]

Why don’t the FEDS give every Municipal District 100 million. WHY NEW YORK CITY. They made the problem, let NYC fix it.

Not at all. All printed money. Worth less at every printing.

Yep.....Our tax dollars ‘always’ fund NYCity....one state of emergency after another to release Federal Funds every time....”Crisis and Chaos” is how Demorats govern while they take their share off the top. Same with California.

Our new meaning is funding “for the thought we hate” (paraphrase of Justice Felix Frankfurter, a Supreme Court Justice).

You ask....”How TF did this happen?”

Demorat policies.

Stealing for the Poor to give to Rich New York City. Everyone else gets to pay for their ignoring the laws and promoting lawlessness in their own city. Printing money and making it worthless, destroying peoples savings and quality of life.

Then they don’t understand why everyone hates them and wants Trump.......
