NYC Spends $53M on Migrant Debit Cards While 56% of New Yorkers Near Poverty

New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) is spending millions on debit cards for border crossers and illegal aliens as a study revealed Wednesday that a majority of New Yorkers live near the poverty line.

This week, Adams announced a pilot program that will funnel $53 million in taxpayer dollars to Mobility Capital Finance via a no-bid contract that will provide 500 foreign families, who crossed the United States-Mexico border, with prepaid debit cards while they live in hotels rent-free.

The debit cards will provide a family of four with about $35 a day or about $1,000 a month which they can use for anything. The city will refill the debit cards with more money every month, paid for by taxpayers.

Gee, what will happen when NYC sets these incentives? I'm sure no illegal immigrant will respond to them!
