Patriot clash- March 27, 2024—printed off 4/18/24
In the latest twist of events that seems almost too absurd to be true, New York City has decided to roll out the red carpet for illegal aliens, offering them a benefits package that would make even the most pampered VIPs blush. Yes, people, you heard that right. While our veterans, the very men and women who have laid everything on the line for our freedom, are struggling to get the support they deserve, NYC is busy handing out prepaid debit cards to illegal migrants.
Let’s break this down, shall we? As part of a $53 million pilot program, these migrant families are being given up to $350 per week to splurge on food and baby supplies. And just to add a cherry on top, this spending spree is happening in the city’s hotels, where these families are staying. I mean, why not, right? It’s not like the city has any other pressing issues to spend money on. Oh wait, what about that little thing called veteran services?
Fox News did the math, and it turns out that if this program expands to cover all migrants, it’ll cost the city a whopping $53 million. To put that into perspective, that’s more than double what New York State plans to spend on its Department of Veteran Services. Let that sink in for a moment. Double the budget for people who entered the country illegally compared to those who fought for it.
Brian Llenas from Fox News pointed out that each migrant will receive approximately $12.52 per day for food and baby supplies. That’s 40% more than what the average low-income American received in government food stamps in 2022. And let’s not forget the free healthcare for migrants, which is currently the city’s most expensive migrant-related expense, accounting for about half of the $4.7 billion spent on the migrant crisis last year.
It’s a scenario that leaves many scratching their heads in disbelief. How did we get to a point where illegal aliens receive more benefits than US veterans? Even a Democrat city council member admitted, “This is insane. It’s not good policy. Obviously, a sanctuary city should not mean protecting criminals.”
This situation highlights a glaring issue in our society’s priorities. It’s important to show compassion and provide support to those in need, but not at the expense of neglecting our own. Our veterans deserve better. They deserve more than just our gratitude; they deserve our unwavering support and commitment to ensuring they receive the benefits and care they’ve rightfully earned. It’s time for New York City, and indeed the entire country, to reassess where our loyalties lie and to remember who truly deserves the VIP treatment.
