NY Taxpayers Beware: Migrants Grab Your Cash with Hochul’s Handout!

In a shocking turn of events, the Democrat-controlled state of New York has been shamelessly doling out your hard-earned tax dollars to thousands of migrants under a sneaky rule change that now qualifies non-citizens for welfare. Governor Kathy Hochul’s Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance (OTDA) made modifications to its Safety Net Assistance (SNA) program, allowing migrants who have merely filled out asylum application forms to line their pockets with even more taxpayer cash.

In a confidential memo sent out to New York welfare office workers, the Hochul administration stealthily expanded the criteria for SNA eligibility to include “non-citizens who are considered permanently residing under color of law (PRUCOL).” Essentially, this means that migrants with various kinds of immigration documentation can now snag taxpayer-funded cash assistance.

The SNA program was originally intended to provide support to needy individuals and families who wouldn’t typically qualify for other types of welfare. But under this new rule, migrants, including single adults, childless couples, and children who don’t live with adult relatives, can now tap into this fund.

It’s estimated that around ten percent of New York’s migrants will cash in on these additional benefits. With over 173,000 migrants flooding into New York City since the spring of 2022, that could mean more than 17,000 individuals taking advantage of the SNA benefits in the city alone.

The audacity of this welfare expansion has outraged politicians on both sides of the aisle. Republican Rep. Nicole Malliotakis blasted Governor Hochul for attracting migrants to the state while burdening hardworking New Yorkers who don’t want their tax dollars funding this handout. Even Democratic City Councilman Robert Holden called the endless giveaways to non-citizens “a slap in the face” to every hardworking citizen who has contributed to the country.

In a shocking display of finger-pointing, Hochul’s spokesman, Avi Small, tried to blame the migrant crisis and the subsequent rule change on Republicans, claiming that it was the “MAGA right” who forced New York to shoulder the burden alone. What a twist! Instead of taking responsibility for their own actions, they’re trying to shift the blame onto their political opponents.

This shocking revelation of taxpayer-funded handouts to non-citizens comes hot on the heels of NYC Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial plan to dish out a whopping $53 million to migrants in the form of pre-paid credit cards. It’s madness, folks! The state is bending over backward to cater to non-citizens while hardworking Americans foot the bill. This is a classic example of the left-wing agenda run amok, using taxpayer dollars as a free-for-all for anyone who sets foot in New York. It’s time to put an end to this madness and prioritize the needs of American citizens over those who haven’t contributed a dime.
