New York City is embroiled in controversy over its handling of illegal immigrants, with a series of incidents and policies drawing criticism from various quarters. Republican representatives and news outlets have highlighted the city's alleged leniency towards illegal immigrants, citing instances where they were provided with extensive benefits and accommodations at taxpayer expense. Criticism focuses on the city's sanctuary status, the provision of hotel rooms and health insurance to illegal immigrants, and a contentious debit card program offering up to $10,000 per migrant. An incident involving an Amazon driver who was arrested and charged with third degree assault after defending himself from an attack by a naked illegal immigrant, who was charged with petty larceny and public lewdness and released without bail, has further fueled the debate. The city's approach, including a $53 million contract with a bank to administer the debit card program through a no-bid contract, has been labeled as wasteful and encouraging illegal activity, with calls for more cooperation with ICE and stricter controls on migrant benefits.

Instead of facing justice, illegal immigrants who commit crimes are rewarded under Biden’s watch. In New York City, an illegal immigrant can beat up a police officer and receive a hotel room at the taxpayers’ expense.
NY Democrats are desperately attempting to pass the buck over a crisis of their own creation. Joe Biden, Kathy Hochul, and Eric Adams have the power to END the illegal immigration crisis they caused RIGHT NOW by: ➡️ Ending New York City’s sanctuary city status ➡️ Stopping…
