NYC Launches $53 Million Program To Hand Out Pre-Paid Credit Cards To Migrant Families​


Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.

The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.

It’ll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall.

The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be kicked out of the program.

The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract. A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

I mean that is kinda the whole thing. Jesus ate with the sinners and tax collectors, not the self righteous temple goers.

NYC’s Booming Underground Migrant Economy exposes the true Disaster of Biden’s open border​


Immigration policies that admit vast numbers of low-skilled workers are a plague on Americans in low-skill jobs, warned the late, great Barbara Jordan — the Texas congresswoman who chaired President Bill Clinton’s immigration commission back in the 1990s.

Open borders make a welfare state unworkable, warned America’s leading socialist, Sen. Bernie Sanders — before he started toeing the new Democratic Party line amid his 2016 presidential run.

Migrants from Africa and Latin America, many if not most with little English, are taking underground jobs as food delivery drivers, construction day laborers, cooks and cleaners.

Some illegally use others’ work papers, or fake IDs, to work “legally”; others find employers willing to hire off the books so they can pay less.

And some run illegal businesses as street vendors, selling to other “asylum seekers” — or as quasi-beggars vending candy on the subway.

Not to mention those dealing drugs, shoplifting and so on: In the wake of the migrant attack on cops in Times Square, it’s plain the city is hosting some new migrant criminal gangs.

Jew-hating Palestinian Migrant busted for pummeling NY homeowner, swiping pro-Israel flag: cops​


A self-described Palestinian migrant from northern Africa stole a pro-Israel flag from a Long Island porch — then pummeled the homeowner who tried to stop him in a wild caught-on-video attack, officials said.

Bechir Lehbeib, 26, allegedly stole the flag — which declared “In This Home We Stand with Israel” from a porch of a home in Hewlett on Sunday.

But the homeowner pulled the flag back after a scuffle caught on the house’s Ring camera — which set Lehbieb off, authorities said.

Lehbieb snatched the flag back then stomped on the flag while yelling, “I am Palestinian and you Jews are killing Palestinians,” according to Nassau County police.

Lehbeib, who descibed himself as Palestinian, entered the U.S. from Mexico in November, authorities said. Officials said they aren’t sure of his country of origin, but said they believe he migrated from somewhere in the northern part of Africa.

He is now facing hate crime charges of second degree assault and robbery and criminal mischief. He was arraigned on Monday in Nassau District Court and Lehbeid was detained on $50,000.

Gov. Hochul says she was caught off guard by Eric Adams’ push for extra $1.6B for Migrant Crisis​


Gov. Kathy Hochul said she was caught off guard by Mayor Eric Adams’ sudden push for another $1.6 billion in funding for the migrant crisis — saying Wednesday that the state has already earmarked a “substantial contribution.”

Hochul said that while she was surprised by the mayor asking during a budget hearing in Albany Tuesday for cash to cover at least 50% of New York City’s costs, the two remain on good terms.

Adams — during the annual “Tin Cup Day” — skewered state lawmakers for not doing enough to help the Big Apple with the crisis, arguing that the city deserves more cash to make up for a lack of action from Washington.

“The state’s commitment to the city is just over $3 billion — or roughly 28 percent — which is $400 million short,” Adams claimed in his remarks. “Today, we are asking the state to increase its commitment and cover at least 50 percent of our costs.”

Times Square Gunman Who Shot Tourist Is 15-Year-Old Venezuelan MIGRANT Who's Also Wanted For Armed Robbery And ANOTHER Shooting, cops reveal as They Offer Migrants $13K Reward To Help Them Find Him​


Police have identified a gunman who shot at a Brazilian tourist and an NYPD officer on Thursday night as a 15-year-old migrant from Venezuela who entered the country in September.

The New York Police Department is offering a $13,500 reward in their hunt for a gunman, Jesus Alejandro Rivas Figueroa, who police say lives at the hotel shelter at the Stratford Hotel in Manhattan.

At just 15, Rivas Figueroa is already wanted in two other crimes - an armed robbery in the Bronx from January 27 and another shooting in Midtown.

Chief of Patrol John Chell said on Friday that police have identified the three individuals involved in the Times Square shooting. The other two boys are 15 and 16, and they all go to school together.

Increasing Taxpayer Cost Of Migrants Health Care In Illinois Raises Concerns​


(The Center Square) – As the taxpayer costs of health care for migrants in Illinois approaches $1 billion, some are saying enough is enough.

After an initial budget estimate by Gov. J.B. Pritzker for migrant health care of $550 million, that figure has ballooned to about $770 million.

During a news conference Thursday, state Sen. Sue Rezin, R-Morris, said that money could be used to help people who already live in Illinois.

“The money spent on this program inevitably reduces funding and resources available for other crucial and essential programs for Illinois citizens,” Rezin said.

It was revealed this week by the Illinois Department of Healthcare and Family Services that nearly all copays have been eliminated for migrants. State Sen. Chapin Rose, R-Mahomet, said everyone else has to pay insurance premiums and copays.

Democratic Councilman Blasts Hochul’s ‘Endless Handouts’ As New York Enrolls Thousands Of Migrants On Welfare​


Democratic New York City Councilman Robert Holden blasted Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) “endless handouts” to migrants as the state enrolls thousands of migrants on welfare.

Holden, who represents Queens on the city council, said it was time to “end this madness” of rolling out benefits for migrants who came into the country illegally while homeless and low-income New Yorkers still suffer.

“The endless handouts to the entire world are a slap in the face to every citizen who has contributed to and sacrificed for this country,” Holden told the New York Post. “It’s time to end this madness.”

The comment comes after the state’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance modified its “Safety Net Assistance” program’s eligibility rules to include non-citizens with pending applications for legal asylum status. The program allows the state to use taxpayer dollars to give cash payments to asylum-seekers who don’t qualify for traditional assistance.

20 NYC Migrant Shelters to Face New 11 p.m. Curfew, Adams’ office says​


New York City plans to implement an 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew at 20 more migrant shelters beginning Monday, Mayor Adams’ office said Sunday.

The new curfew, introduced as anxiety rises about migrant crime, would apply to about 3,600 people, and would bring the number of asylum seeker shelters with curfews to 24. The city instituted curfews at four relief centers last month.

Among the 20 new shelters is a large relief center in Long Island City, Queens, that houses about 1,000 migrants, according to government data. Typical city homeless shelters already have curfews.

Denver's Hospitals Are At Risk Of COLLAPSE Because Of Migrant Crisis, With One Health System Providing $17M Of Unpaid Care In Just Three Months​


  • Struggling UCHealth was given $17 million from other hospitals to help care for 5,800 undocumented patients between November and January
Denver's hospitals are at risk of collapsing due to out-of-control immigration, with one healthcare system providing $17 million in free care in just three months.

It comes as the Colorado city's Mayor Mike Johnston warns he's had to cut DMV and Parks & Rec funding 'in the face of the migrant crisis'.

Struggling UCHealth was given $17 million from other hospitals, including $10 million from University Colorado Hospital, to help care for 5,800 undocumented patients between November and January, according to the Denver Post.

Medics believe these patients are mostly - if not entirely - migrants, because the data covers people who don't have a Social Security number or health insurance and were seeking healthcare in the US for the first time.

And this figure is only the tip of the iceberg. It excludes migrants who had sought care from the system before or those who qualified for emergency Medicaid, which covers undocumented patients in labor or with some life-threatening conditions.


The city's main public hospital, Denver Health, has already plunged deep into the red after patients received $136 million in treatment they couldn't pay for, bosses warned.

Deadly Alliance Brewing Between MS-13 And Bloodthirsty Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang Behind NYC cellphone robberies, FBI fears​


A brutal Venezuelan gang that has used the border crisis to set up in New York could join forces with the feared MS-13, a senior FBI agent has told The Post.

Tren de Aragua, which law enforcement is warning is rapidly expanding its criminal empire with a spate of brazen phone robberies in the five boroughs, is a priority for the FBI, agent John Morales said.

Morales, the special agent in charge of the El Paso division in Texas, said the agency is closely monitoring Tren de Aragua’s growth and is concerned about it forming alliances with existing networks.

The Post revealed Monday how the Venezuelan gang, which established a bloody crime network across South America, is replicating its methods in New York, recruiting among new migrants at shelters to set up cellphone robbery gangs — and using its international reach to traffic the phones to Colombia to be resold.

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson Hands ‘Black and Brown’ Businesses $18M to Feed Migrants​


1707855886502.png

Chicago’s Democrat Mayor Brandon Johnson recently touted his efforts to bestow $18 million exclusively to “black and brown” businesses to feed the thousands of illegal border crossers the city is housing.

Johnson’s administration partnered with the Greater Chicago Food Depository, BJ’s Market, and other nonprofits by diverting the huge sum to minority-owned businesses, according to WFLD-TV.

During a press conference on the partnership, the “sanctuary city” mayor celebrated the program, applauding “black and brown businesses” as the “soul” of Chicago.

“The $17 million investment for these 18 black and brown small businesses, is really the, um… it really captures what I call the soul of Chicago. It’s who we are,” Johnson told the media.

“I actually think it’s quite fitting that we are in this wonderful small business because it has been black and brown small businesses that have stepped up in this moment, in this crisis, to respond to these families who are arriving here,” Johnson added.

Funding to minority or small business is a scam..I have visited a few as they were bidding gov projects. They dont know the product they are selling and it costs more to the gov as it creates a middle man. The gov would be better just giving them some money to not be a part of a project.
All they do is paper turn.
