Illegal immigrants who land in New York City will reportedly now receive debit cards worth up to $10,000. This is madness.
Is there any wonder why so many of these people want to go to the Big Apple? They actually got free hotel rooms and free meals. What would they need with $10,000 a month?
Have you wondered how many of these people can afford motorized scooters? I wonder no more.
The New York Post reports:
Inside Mayor Adams' Immigrant Debit Card – No-Bid Bank Gets $50 Million, Border Crossers Get Up to $10,000 Each
It takes money to make money, as the old saying goes, and apparently it also takes money โ as much as $53 million โ to give money away.
Earlier this month, The Post broke the story of Mayor Adams distributing prepaid cash cards to immigrants.
Unusually for a mayor, Adams did not break this story himself, and for nearly a month his administration failed to correct many public misconceptions about it.
One misconception is that the program allows the city to distribute only $50 million to immigrants.
No wonder the mayor was reticent.
This debit card program – if you read the actual contract – has the potential to become an open-ended Bermuda Triangle with billions of dollars of disappearing, untraceable cash, used for any purpose.
It would give immigrants up to $10,000 each in taxpayer money without identity verification, and with no restrictions or control over fraud.
Total madness.
@NYCMayor It gives debit cards to illegal immigrants with up to $10,000 each of taxpayer money with no identity verification, no restrictions and no fraud control.
Why do we distribute untraceable global cash to unknown people in large numbers?

When I told people this was what was happening, they didn't believe me. https://t.co/ZA4Kd1TNYc

“Mayor Adams' Immigrant Debit Card – No-Bid Bank Gets $50 Million, Border Crossers Get $10,000 Each”. Corruption on an industrial scale, never seen before

This will only stimulate more illegal immigration. Who doesn't want ten thousand?
