Nyc is looking to provide prepaid credit cards to migrants, giving them free benefits that dwarf the benefits available to poor Americans (judging by the comments).

https://nypost.com/2024/02/02/metro/nyc-to-hand-out-prepaid-credit-cards-to-migrant-families-for-food/

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.

Its actually a cost savings over what they are currently doing if you read the article.

Not that I necessarily agree with what they are currently doing.

What they are currently doing is also bad.

Why should politicians give American money to foreigners?

What are you doing on about. Clearly you didn't read the article so you cant follow what I am saying.


You're right, I didn't.
