NYC mayor faces bipartisan blowback over new round of migrant debit cards: 'The gravy train’ must stop
Story by Charles Creitz • 14h


New York City leaders from both parties slammed a move by Mayor Eric Adams’ administration to distribute another tranche of thousands of prepaid debit cards to migrant families.

While Adams’ office claimed at its February inception the program would save the city as much as $7.2 million per year, some city lawmakers decried the latest allocation of 7,300 cards as a signal for more border-crossers to come.
 
Councilman Robert Holden, a Democrat from Glendale, Queens, said the "gravy train for migrants has to stop."

"Giving out free housing, food, and legal aid while protecting them from federal authorities is unsustainable and only makes the crisis worse. This madness needs to end now."

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

It's New York City.

The gravy train will NEVER stop.

Unless it crashes outright. And New Yorkers aren't going to be happy when THAT happens.
