New York City Launches $53 Million Program for Illegal Immigrant Families

New York City is launching a $53 million program to provide prepaid credit cards to illegal immigrant families, allowing them to purchase food and baby supplies. The program aims to save the city money by replacing the current food assistance program for illegal immigrants. Mayor Eric Adams hopes to expand the program to cover an estimated 15,000 people, while also urging the federal government to address the influx of illegal immigrants. This initiative comes in the midst of concerns over the financial burden placed on taxpayers due to the influx.
