New York City Rule Change Allows Thousands Of Migrants To Receive Welfare Checks

New York City is experiencing an invasion like no other.

Thousands of illegal immigrants are flooding the city, taking up shelters and hotels and using up the public resources of the city.

A new change by Democratic New York Governor Kathy Hochul will allow for non-citizens to be eligible for financial benefits.

Rather than helping New York citizens, Democrats are more concerned with their new invading voting force.

The folks at Fox News share more on the story:

Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s administration quietly changed the state’s “Safety Net Assistance” program eligibility rules in May to allow non-citizens who have pending applications for asylum to receive benefits, making thousands of migrants eligible for the payments, according to a report from the New York Post and confirmed by Fox News Digital.

The move was made through the state’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance, which sent a message to social services agencies in the state, the report notes, though the agency would not say how many migrants are currently receiving payments.

Reached for comment by Fox News Digital, an OTDA spokesperson said just a “small portion” of the $4.3 billion the governor set aside for the migrant crisis has been used for the payments, estimating that about 90% of the current migrant population in the state would not be eligible for the benefits under the new rules.

“At the request of New York City, OTDA made a technical update to allow a small percentage of migrants to receive certain additional support in compliance with state and federal law,” the spokesperson said.

But the report notes that over 173,000 migrants have made their way to New York City alone since 2022, meaning that if 10% of them were receiving payments it would amount to about 17,000 recipients in the city alone.

A flood of 173,000 is more than enough to cripple New York City.

Imagine what the millions that have entered our country under Biden are doing to us.

Here is some footage of the chaos that the migrant crisis has brought to New York City:

Six days ago, I shared aerial footage showing huge migrant encampments that have taken over New York City’s Randall Island and also Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn.

These are just two such encampments in NYC, as there are more in NYS and throughout our nation. I will link these… pic.twitter.com/I9Hlc8bBBC

How about the fact that hotels are benefiting from this crisis:

New York City is paying $7 MILLION dollars a week to house migrants in one hotel that is now shut to the public? How much more are they spending on other shelters? And what about all the other cities? This madness must end. Biden and the Democrats must be voted out in November. https://t.co/zNnF8tvru8

There are reports that leftist politicians in New York seek to allow migrants to have unlimited stay in shelters.

The New York Post shares more here:

ar-left City Council members are making a second push to pass controversial legislation to scrap Mayor Eric Adams’ cap on how long migrants can stay in public shelters.

In July, Adams imposed a 60-day limit on stays at city-run shelters, saying it was needed because the surge of migrants crossing the southern border and coming to New York had left little space.

In September, he lowered the stays for single adults to 30 days before they could reapply, while families kept their 60-day window.

Councilwoman Shahana Hanif, a Brooklyn Democratic socialist, will re-introduce her bill prohibiting city agencies from imposing length-of-stay restrictions for migrants and others living in shelters during a Feb. 28 Council meeting, and the legislation is slated for a public hearing at City Hall on March 1.

Hanif first proposed the legislation in October, but it stalled.

Ten other progressive Council members — including Manhattan’s Carlina Rivera and Brooklyn’s Lincoln Restler — agreed to co-sponsor the new version.

New York City, like many Democrat-run cities, is currently struggling to keep up with the influx of illegal immigrants.

The people are getting fed up, and you will begin to see the people voting out these political hacks in the upcoming elections.
