Illegal immigrants who arrive in New York City are now going to receive debit cards that are prepaid with $10,000, courtesy of U.S. taxpayers in the State.
According to a report by the New York Post, Democrat Mayor Eric Adams wants the illegal border crossers to get the free cash in the form of pre-paid cash cards:
Unusually for the mayor, Adams didn’t publicize this story himself, and his administration has for nearly a month failed to correct several public misperceptions about it.
One misperception is that the program allows the city to give out just $50 million to migrants.
No wonder the mayor has been reticent.
This debit-card program — if you read the actual contract — has the potential to become an open-ended, multi-billion-dollar Bermuda Triangle of disappearing, untraceable cash, used for any purpose.
It will give migrants up to $10,000 each in taxpayer money with no ID check, no restrictions and no fraud control.
