“The Democrat-controlled state of New York has been quietly handing out cash payments to thousands of migrants under a rule change qualifying non-citizens for welfare.
Gov. Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) modified its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program’s parameters in 2023, making migrants who have filled out asylum application forms eligible to receive even more taxpayer dollars.”

“The welfare expansion has been lambasted by both Republicans and Democrats.
According to Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), it’s “horrible that Gov. Hochul found another way to attract migrants” to the state while “putting the squeeze” on middle- and lower-income New Yorkers who don’t want their tax dollars going to this.
“You have people from all over the world coming to New York to take advantage of all these left-wing programs the governor, the mayor are implementing, while at the same time, they’re clobbering taxpayers over the head,” she told the Post. “[Safety Net Assistance] is a program that’s supposed to be for New Yorkers who temporarily need it to get through a difficult time in their lives.”

LurkerMom: “Welfare for foreign invaders.“
Yeah, didn't we already discuss this?
First, it's not cash, it's a prepaid debit card.
Second, it's a pilot program for 500 migrant families with children.
Third, each migrant in the program gets $12.52 per day for food and baby supplies.
Fourth, using debit cards will save the city $7.2 million annually.
Perhaps you'd rather they starved. Or committed crimes to feed themselves (since they're not allowed to work).
Perhaps Speaker Moses Johnson should bring the senate border bill to the floor -- endorsed by the border patrol officers union -- where it will pass (rather than bending the knee to Orange Jesus) and the country can get busy solving the border crisis.

Fairfax County Housing Vouchers were exploited and used for personal benefit.

LM, please write your Republican representatives and tell them to pass the border bill. Otherwise just give it a rest. You're just parroting RW talking points that shouldn't persuade anyone who is paying attention. The border will be a bigger mess because of Trump and the sycophantic GOP that will do NOTHING.

So? Same difference.
To repeat from the article..
“You have people from all over the world coming to New York to take advantage of all these left-wing programs the governor, the mayor are implementing, while at the same time, they’re clobbering taxpayers over the head,” she told the Post. “[Safety Net Assistance] is a program that’s supposed to be for New Yorkers who temporarily need it to get through a difficult time in their lives.”
The give away is paid by the New York taxpayers.

Remember ges, it was OldJoe who opened the flood gates and rescinded Trumps proclamations protecting our southern border. You can’t blame Trump for OldJoe welcoming millions and millions of who knows what unvetted illegal aliens into our country.
When there is a decent border bill I’m sure the GOP will help pass it.

We can and will from here on out blame it on Trump, because it's true. You had your chance and took orders from Trump to kill the bill. That's the best deal you're gonna get in your lifetime.

You'll be dead first, you blew it.
