NEW YORK CITY (TND) — New York City will offer its surging migrant population $53 million worth of pre-paid credit cards, the New York Post reported.
The initiative of the office of Mayor Eric Adams and Mobility Capital Finance aims to assist migrants with food expenses as they await authorization to work from the federal government. Cards will only work at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores.
Recipients must sign an affidavit swearing to use the funds only for food and baby supplies or risk being removed from the program. Cards will be loaded with different amounts depending on the size of a family and whether they have income. A family of four could receive $1,000 monthly or $35 per day. Cards will be refilled every 28 days.
MoCaFi looks forward to partnering with New York City to disburse funds for asylum seekers to purchase fresh, hot food,” Mobility Capital Finance CEO Wole Coaxum said. “MoCaFi’s goal is to expand access to financial resources for individuals excluded from banking, such as asylum seekers, while helping the local economy.”
Though the city will begin by offering cards to a group of 500 individual, it could soon expand the program to reach the total population of migrants in the city, estimated at 15,000.
Easy fix, stop paying taxes
…and go to jail.
They can’t house us all.
The MOB should be forcing the Illegals OUT !!!!!
Can’t Lock Up Everybody baby Not Enough Jails or Prisons !!!!
And what are your suggestions for doing that ????????
Start Offering those Pre-Paid Taxpayer Cards to > AMERICANS who need it instead !!!!!
Deport ALL ILLEGALS !!!!!!
Police there should STRIKE !!!!! OUST the Dirty Democrat Mayor !!!
Get used to it. Once these illegal bastards start getting everything free they won’t even try to find work, just like another race is and has been doing. Won’t be long before the country has as to celebrate an illegal aliens month
That should be going to AMERICANS who are Homeless incl VETERANS !!!! NOT ILLEGALS
Should be a CRIME !!!! FELONY !!!!!
ILLEGALS are a CRIME / FELONY !!
No wonder decent people are leaving New York in droves.
This is what happens when you vote Democrats in any kind of office every idea turns to shit. The promises are just a bunch of lies just to get them in office. Believe me they are not looking out for you but for themselves.
Where can a U.S citizen sign up for this.??
What I find most entertaining is how they try and spin this as if it will be beneficial to the city. Pardon me if I’m wrong but, if this is in fact a handout, which it is. Please remind me how this benefits anyone other than those illegally in our country? That’s right….it doesn’t! This is Eric Adams attempting to throw money at a problem he either A can’t handle, or B one that he doesn’t want to address because he’d be a “bad guy” in the liberal progressive train of thought whom is ultimately in charge of his income…so sad…so true!
NYC needs to be Prosecuted !!! Aiding & Abetting ILLEGALS who have Invaded OUR country !!!!!
