Controversial NYC Program Provides Prepaid Cards for Illegal Migrants Amid Influx

New York City has launched a controversial program issuing prepaid debit cards to illegal migrants to address the influx into the city.

Mayor Eric Adams initiated the $53 million pilot program, aiming to provide up to $350 weekly to migrant families in hotels.

Despite criticism, the scheme intends to support food and infant needs. Some express concern over sanctuary city policies, arguing it aids criminals.

Reports reveal migrants may receive more benefits than impoverished Americans, costing the city significantly. With an estimated 16.8 million illegal aliens in the US, the program highlights the ongoing immigration challenges under the Biden administration.
