The Democrat regime in New York City is now preparing to offer even more freebies to illegal aliens by handing them a $5 ,000 grant to help them pay for rent, taking yet more millions away from poor American citizens.

The grants are part of the Asylee Moveout Assistance grants were originated to help citizens get by in New York City, one of the most expensive housing markets in the country. Instead, the grants are being given to illegals.

Per Breitbart News:

So far, the grants have been given to 150 migrant families and pregnant women, a city official told Gothamist, a New York media site.

“We look forward to supporting more households as we assess the successes of the pilot and feasibility of scaling up and expanding access to this form of assistance,” a spokeswoman for the city’s Department of Homeless Services told Gothamist, which also reported:

“Migrant families who line up housing can receive one-time grants of up to $4,000 to help pay for moving expenses, security deposits, first and last month’s rent, and other household supplies, [spokeswoman Neha] Sharma said. … Families [also] receive up to $1,000 gift cards for necessary household items, and moving companies, landlords and other merchants are paid directly, she said.”

“The city is already spending heavily on hotel rooms and shelters, for $372 per night, for 65,000 migrants. Overall, teh city is expected to borrow $12 billion to support the migrant population,” Breitbart News added.

All this assistance is going into the empty, black hole of migrant care and it is spending that is pure, 100% waste because it will never, ever benefit America or Americans.
