So how is it THAT US CITIZENS DON'T GET THAT TYPE OF ASSISTANCE
You tell what someone values by what they spend their money on. Lots of money being spent on illegals.
Unbelievable! They could never figure out that card system for their own homeless or veterans who needed help!!!! America is a mess.
Dems are torching the black vote with this crap.
Stop Lying about Bidns bill. It will give away trillions to foreign countries and let more illegals in the country.
They should help the homeless first.
50 Cent talking to Texas Governor. lol
Democrats are ruining this great country TRUMP 2024🇺🇸
Don't be this guys sucker get out of nyc now this dude is using your labor to pay these illegals that's insane
DA is wrong. Put them all in jail and then investigate.
Hopefully everyone who works and pays taxes leaves NY, Then whos going to pay these useless politicians?
Unbelievable!
And you best know they all texting their 100000000 relatives down in Latin America about free shelter food and money and them coming up too
Bragg says,,, "Send the "Right People" to Jail" ! He means Trump !
This is just disgusting. Literally helping illegal aliens over homeless and Vets
😂 Migrants attack New york police officers…days later New York gives migrants pre paid credit cards 😂😂 this is literally a south park episode
I want one too😂😂😂😂😂 NYC your a joke
The illegal migrants know the difference between right & wrong, so they know attacking cops is a criminal offence. Other countries have been emptying their jails & asylums & taking them to the border, & now we are seeing the result in the cities, & America's problem to deal with.
That's not a rumor you are giving them free money. Stop giving these criminals money. Let's get Adams out of office we can't afford another term of his mess.
Bulshit
Guaranteed these programs are lining the pockets of people we do not know about other than migrants.
People that do need help.
This crisis is just a cover story to rob taxpayers
This is the reason it costs LA county $17,000 to put 1 homeless person in a motel for 1 month.
Someone is getting paid. Big time.
Corruption is at an all time high.
They should return the money back to the taxpayers and apologize.
Give them $1,000 a month? What are we doing for American’s who are homeless? For less than $1,000 a month we can send them back
Trump 2024 Democrats are rats
So sick of all of this!
I want all the politicians who took issue with Americans getting $600 during the pandemic then took it $300 and said “ppl won’t want to work” where are they now? Who remembers how our govt treated the citizens during the pandemic?
send them back
Could you imagine, us citizens being released with no bond and have zero consequences?! This is the problem!!!! The message is that these illegal (criminals) can come and destroy our country and we will allow it in the name of “human protection “ “human basic rights” violence is not in that “basic rights” rights are not a one way street. Sounds that trump may be the answer
Wow, I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SAY THIS BUT MAYBE TRUMP MIGHT BE RIGHT 🤔
It makes sense because the City would be able to track where the money goes. Right now, they're giving them cash donations. But NYC can do what it wants to do with the funds, and other governors should not criticize it. The Government isn't helping NYC. The mayor is doing what he can.
The nyc mayor lies!!!!!! When did they do that for our own homeless
A Solution to Illegal Immigration:
House immigrants in college and university student dorms. Allow them to eat in the student dining facility.
Provide medical treatment at campus facilities and use auditoriums for briefings and training.
Administrators and students can use off campus accommodations, medical care, and messing as many faculty and students already routinely do.
What a disgrace, this country has no respect nor compassion whatsoever for American citizens who are suffering from homelessness, financial hardship and poverty. Stop calling these people migrants they’re illegal aliens, this is an invasion and attack on our country! Our country is taking better care of the illegals than our own citizens! I wonder if an American citizen wants to live in another country would they have all these amenities dumped into their lap.
Fifty cent, come back to Connecticut.
So, how would you feel now if Biden got his way to give what was it ?…350,000 to each immigrant that was separated from their children?
Hurry and file your income taxes so you can help our government pay for the illegals pre-paid cards. Maybe save our government some money by offering to take in a few of the criminals, oops I mean illegals into your homes.
You do not have to feed them or house them
You want to pay American tax payers money to those greedy money hungry so called 'Refugees ' illegal immigrants. 😡😡
What oh great our taxes at work thanks a lot
New York Should Demand Itemized Receipts For EVERY Single cent spent on this so called " Pilot Program" and make it public knowledge to the tax payers to see exactly how & where the money is spent! 0 accountability anywhere!
Can save even more of our wages if we defund illegal aliens
Or maybe everybody in america have this credit card now
Helpping Migrant's instead of Americans! Typical Democrats!
