New York City Mayor Eric Adams has defended a new pilot program to give migrants prepaid debit cards, saying it could save the city money.
“Adams spent a large portion of his weekly media availability on Tuesday defending the program, which could grow to cost the city $53 million, saying it will save the city money and eliminate food waste,” reported WPIX New York City.
The program could give up to 500 migrant families prepaid debit cards to purchase food and other supplies. Though rapper 50 Cent initially criticized the program, Eric Adams said he changed his position after the two shared a talk.
“People want to give the impression that we did this in the cloak of secrecy, that we’re not saving money, that’s just inaccurate,” Adams said.
A pair of illegal aliens, who were released into the US thanks to Joe Biden’s expansive Catch and Release network, have since been charged with operating a debit card scheme in Vernon Parish, Louisiana. t.co/lxl3mb7u8r
