You can’t make this up. If you tried to, your family might suggest you seek psychiatric help. But it is nonetheless true.
From Ben Wheden’s article at justthenews.com:
After warning that a surge in illegal arrivals to the Big Apple would “destroy New York City” and blaming the influx for prompting budget cuts, New York City Democratic Mayor Eric Adams reportedly plans to provide illegal alien families with pre-paid credit cards.
The plan will begin with a $53 million pilot program targeting the migrant residents of the Roosevelt Hotel. Run through Mobility Capital Finance, the pilot plan will provide 500 families with an Immediate Response Card for use on food and infant care supplies.
The city estimates that roughly 15,000 migrant families currently reside in NYC hotels and the administration plans to expand the program to all of them should the pilot program prove fruitful.
“Not only will this provide families with the ability to purchase fresh food for their culturally relevant diets and the baby supplies of their choosing, but the pilot program is expected to save New York City more than $600,000 per month, or more than $7.2 million annually,” Kayla Mamelak, a spokesperson for Adams said.
Got that? The illegals, many currently residing in New York hotel rooms most legals would have trouble affording (I wonder how they rate the room service), will now be handed pre-paid credit cards…and the Mayor’s spokesperson tells us it is a money-saving idea!!!
This is what happens when NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) become IMBY (In My Back Yard).
New York City – and a host of other Democrat-run major cities around the country – were hot to trot on the “sanctuary city” concept. Yep, protect those illegals every way you can…
…until (gasp!!!!!!!) it turned out that their cities would have to deal with the illegals.
How quickly the worm turns.
But…at least they’re saving $600,000 a month by giving the illegals pre-paid credit cards. Kayla Mamelak says so, so it must be true. What a brilliant way to save!!
The Mad Hatter must be green with envy.
