@NYCMayor is giving out debit cards to illegal immigrants up to $10,000 each in taxpayer money with no ID check, no restrictions and no fraud control.
Why are we distributing untraceable global cash to unidentifiable people in droves?

The New York Post reports:
Inside Mayor Adams’ migrant debit card boondoggle — no-bid bank gets $50 million, border crossers up to $10,000 each
It takes money to make money, as the old saying goes, and, apparently, it also takes money — as much as $53 million — to give money away.
Earlier this month, The Post broke the story that Mayor Adams is giving out pre-paid cash cards to migrants.
Unusually for the mayor, Adams didn’t publicize this story himself, and his administration has for nearly a month 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, multi-billion-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.
