Quote:Mayor Eric Adams’ administration will soon start handing out pre-paid credit cards to migrant families being put up in Big Apple hotels, The Post has learned.

The $53 million pilot program, run by the New Jersey company Mobility Capital Finance, will provide asylum seekers arriving at the Roosevelt Hotel with the city cash to help them buy food, according to city records.

It’ll start with a group of 500 migrant families in short-term hotel stays and will replace the current food service offered there, according to City Hall.

The cards can only be used at bodegas, grocery stores, supermarkets and convenience stores — and migrants must sign an affidavit swearing they will only spend the funds on food and baby supplies or they will be kicked out of the program.

The Immediate Response Card initiative appears akin to the state’s food stamp program, dubbed SNAP, which provides lower-income New Yorkers with a credit card to cover the cost of meals, and will provide funds based on the same scale.

The amount on each card will vary depending on the size of the family and whether any income is coming in, according to the details of the contract. A family of four, for instance, could be provided nearly $1,000 each month, which comes out to $35 per day for food. Cards will get refilled every 28 days.

Brooklyn residents rally to close illegal immigrant shelter amid violence concerns

Quote:The shelter, located at 47 Hall Street, houses over 3,000 migrants and has drawn the ire of residents in Clinton Hill who say it is the source of increased violence and crime in the area.

"We are here today because there is an attempt to put our neighborhood back 30 years in time when there were stabbings, drugs, assaults, fights, fear and killings. It used to be called ‘Murder Avenue,'" said Renee Collymore, a Clinton Hill resident who spoke at the rally.

Police say a suspect shot 30-year-old Arturo Jose Rodriguez-Marcano in the head just before 10:45 p.m. inside Steuben Playground. Then, less than ten minutes later, the same suspect reportedly opened fire again, this time in front of 29 Ryerson Street, a smaller migrant shelter just around the corner from the one on Hall Street.

Twenty-one-year-old Enny Dejesus-Urbina Mendez, a resident of the shelter, was shot multiple times and killed.

A law enforcement source told the New York Post that all the victims of Sunday night's violence were migrants.

"There is simply no universe where you can cram 4,000 vulnerable people together safely," said nearby resident Tim Walker. "Do you believe us now? How many more murders will it take?"

well, well, looks like a bunch of 'wite supremicists' in Brooklyn protesting against their government again, right? They voted to be a sanctuary city, and now they regret what their Democrat Party leaders did to their neighborhoods and now want the illegals out....how racisss of the Brookloynites....sniffle....two tears in a bucket, mutha **** it!

And yet homeless veterans will have to beg on street corners.

This country is irreparably broken.

Wasn't it their exalted leader Obama that once boasted, "Elections have consequences"? They need to learn the hard way to vote smarter next time. The (D) for "dummy" should have given them a clue the first few times.

They’ll double down on Kamala. She’ll make them legal so they can’t complain about migrants causing crime…just their neighbors. Duh….just vote for a different D….that’ll fix it.

Oh good, they are going to "swear" not to spend it on anything but food and baby stuff....

What can possibly go wrong with this giveaway.....

lol @ the "affidavit." Is that the same sort of thing they sign when promising to show up at their court date one year in the future?

There you go. Teach them the Dem way. Work less and get more "free" stuff. Work more and get less.

Democrats are complete morons, on every level.

Can anyone imagine how many airplane charters 53 millions would have bought to Central America? Same old dumb S Demonics.

As for those others, heck, those Chinese can afford their own ticket. (being facetious here).

Dang, that's a lot of groceries or drugs.
