NYC launches $53M program to give pre-paid debit cards to migrants to spend in BODEGAS: Users must sign affidavit promising only to use card for food and baby supplies, with family of four set to get $1,000-a-month
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Giving the voters what they demanded, good and hard.
  • Migrants staying at the Roosevelt Hotel in Manhattan will be given pre-paid cards to spend on food, instead of the city providing meals in the hotel

  • The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores

  • A spokesperson for the mayor said the pilot program is expected to save New York City more than $600,000 per month, or $7.2 million annually

#3 Appears to be a government avoidance to bedding down migrants on US military installations. I can't imagine why.

#6 Before this is over, these modern flesh traders are going to make The Dutch Traders look downright civilized.

#7 As # 2 above points out, there is a looming crime wave waiting to happen.

Looking for a show of hands of those that think the EFFBEYE is already prowling the airwaves/etheric for the initial attempts to organize local self-defense groups by American citizens, instead of tracking the emerging illegal alien crews.

#9 ^ But the owners of the "bodegas" will dig the income. Of course, they will all have to kick back...

#10 I think Democrats have a cunning plan to deal with illegal immigration - make things so bad, they all will go back.

#11 ^ You're probably right. When I lived in San Francisco back in the 80's, the "mama sans" who ran most of the corner stores ran a thriving business in liquor and cigarettes for food stamps. All it took was a little creative accounting.

#12 ^ Of course, the "kickbacks" went to chainsmoking little old men who soent their days hanging out in clubs with names like The Five Rivers Benevolency Association in little alleys off of Grant Street. Scary little bastards; I used to pull a lot of tags to those places as a bike messenger. My boss at the time was a half-Chinese woman who had been badly burned over half her body in an explosion. I learned quickly to not ask a lot of questions.
