Feds finally set to release $106M in migrant aid to NYC after months of delays

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

IOW, they are using the taxes on Americans in all states to subsidize the importation of future Democrat-Communist party “voters”.

Pay for your own subjugation, proles.

If/When Trump is POTUS there should be no federal aid to sanctuary cities or to states with sactuary laws/policies.

Except H1-B foreigners! They work for low wages making it possible for their employer to stay in business in United States. And they pay taxes. Best of all you never hear H1-B workers committing crimes or collecting welfare. May be all illegals migrants should be given H1-B visas. All crime will disappear, all welfare as well.

“Where did that money come from?”

The next question is why did the city get federal money at all?

New York is getting stronger every day because of the influx of illegal immigrants; we are told that all the time.

So on top of getting stronger due to illegal immigrants, the city is getting a super dose of money on top of that; two windfalls.

That’s not fair.

It’s perverse. Sending federal money to a sanctuary city to aid it in violating federal law. There’s got to be a lawsuit in there somewhere. File it in Midland Texas.

My comments were made in jest hoping the black community are outraged at the EVIL DEMONcRATS for taking food and housing from the mouths of their own black children and given to illegal criminal invaders! THAT SHOULD PISS THEM OFF to the hill! Their usefulness has expired.
