New York is officially a third world state and New York City, a place I used to love to travel to is officially a third world city. Not only did Eric Adams, the communist mayor $53 million in tax payer dollars to pay $1,000 per month to illegals, some illegal aliens are even getting debit cards worth, are you ready for this? $10,000!
Earlier this month, The Post broke the story that Mayor Eric Adams is giving out pre-paid cash cards to migrants.
Unusually for the mayor, Adams didn’t publicize this story himself, and his administration for nearly a month has 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, multibillion-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. (HPD later provided actual amounts to The Post, saying a family of four would be given $15,000 a year).
