Less than 48 hours after Donald Trump was announced the winner of the 2024 presidential election, New York City Mayor Eric Adams has announced the city is ending a highly controversial program that handed out prepaid, taxpayer-funded debit cards to illegal aliens.

The initiative, which had been launched as an experimental pilot program last March, has already cost the city about $3.2 million and gave some 2,600 migrant families who were living in tax-funded hotels-turned-migrant-shelters roughly $350 per week to buy their own food, rather than rely on the meals provided by the shelter. The left-wing officials who run the dumpster city argued that giving migrants debit cards to buy groceries and baby food was better than wasting money on shelter-provided food that migrants were complaining wasn't any good, and much of which ended up in the trash.

Meanwhile, roughly 350,000 homeless persons live in New York City, where roughly 18% of the population lives in poverty. Just saying.

In addition to the expense of the debit cards themselves, the city paid a financial technology company called Mobility Capital Finance about $400,000 to run the program.

"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," the Mayor's Office said in a statement.

According to ABC7, Adams didn't say why the city was ending the program.

But you can't deny, the timing is awfully interesting.
