Yes. I do know someone who lives in NY. Wish he would get the hell out.
This sounds like a fake bot video.. I wish it were true, but I think this is a bot---
It wasn’t the Biden administration. It was New York City.

NEW YORK CITY (WABC) -- New York City has announced it will no longer issue vouchers to migrants to pay for food, ending a controversial program that had repeatedly come under attack by conservatives and others.
"As we move towards more competitive contracting for asylum seeker programs, we have chosen not to renew the emergency contract for this pilot program once the one-year term concludes," Mayor Eric Adams's Office said in a statement.
The pilot program distributed debit cards to migrant families staying in city-funded hotels, allowing them to buy their own food.
While the program was characterized by some as an additional expense, it was initially conceived as a way to save money by no longer buying food the asylum seekers did not want to eat. The city estimates it cost half as much as the boxed-meal delivery service it replaced.
Since late March, the city has provided prepaid debit cards totaling $3.2 million to some 2,600 migrant families living in hotels so that they can buy food and baby supplies.

Don't know.
I think it’s just a text to speech voice, very well could be true.
Bunch of these on youtube. Yes its a bot reading text.
I thought they were here taking our JOBS. Hmm! Maybe they wouldn't have been that desperate if they had truly been working to feed themselves. GO HOME, GET A JOB!
Anything that they tell you would be a lie.
True.
At least the rat problem in NY will be solved. Plenty of rats for them to eat, or are they now used to the good life?
When low iq people can’t understand that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, just riot.
Enjoy the winter.
LOL. Yes.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Yeah, definitely.
pack your bags and go home partys over
Wish they would.
They can go to food pantries like everyone else.
Yeah. That's right.
Democrats find ways to fund criminals and the depraved.
Yes. They need their army.
Round them up,I think FEMA has camps for them.
They have been put up in 4 star hotels. I just found out they were housed in hotels that charged us $135 (taxes not included) per night in WA state also.
We were in WA last year and stayed in the hotel and this year, illegal invaders live there now.
There are over 6 hotels in one small area of mission valley San Diego,combined over 6 thousand hotel rooms. These rooms ranged from 100 a night to 325.00 a night when they were open for America. They are now closed to the public and are used for criminal invaders . Mind you that’s only 6 hotels in one small area , there are over 50 hotels through out San Diego thst house criminals , the extended stay places and air b n bs are also used . San Diego has probably a million or more criminals that arrived in the past couple years .
Oh, west coast.
Wow, $135 per day for housing and $350/week for food is $5,450 dollars/month. Just given away to illegal goddamn aliens by people trying to destroy our country.
They are given that as their illegal invader army.
Lock up your cats and dog, NYC!
That's right.
Thats why they were brought here. Chaos.
Organize a protest….swoop in and arrest.
$350 a week. The maximum food stamps for an individual in PA is $291 a month!
Because you are citizen and not an invaders so of course.
Hide your pets!!
Howls.
But, but, we need these people to take all the jobs that Americans won’t do like harvesting NYC crops.
Invaders must be removed STAT
Well good, take to the streets because the free shit is over. Will make it that much easier to find your dumb asses and send you back from whence you came.
