Just a few days ago, it was revealed that NYC Mayor Eric Adams is planning to give illegal border crossers debit cards worth up to $10,000.

You can imagine that members of the council got quite a few phone calls from angry residents of the city.

Adams proposed his new policy early in February, and insisted the program that would allow illegals to feed themselves would save the city millions of dollars in often wasted food-service costs.

The mayor estimated the pre-paid cards would cost the city $53 million, and would allow migrants to spend $35 per day, or $1,000 a month, to buy food to prepare for themselves, instead of being handed pre-made meals supplied by the city.

One part of the program that has raised eyebrows is the no-bid contract that Adams doled out to launch the program.

According to WLNY-TV, Councilmember Gale Brewer blasted the mayor for the contract award, saying, “I think you should bid it out to see who would do the best job at the best cost for taxpayers.” Who can blame people for wanting to know more about what’s happening here? This plan has bad idea written all over it.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams recently accused his fellow Democrats on the city council of pursuing a far left agenda.

He was elected as a pro-police candidate who was going to tackle the city’s crime problem.

The Washington Free Beacon reports: Why Shelf-Stable Beef Will Be an Extremely Valuable Commodity in the Near Future NYC Mayor Accuses His City Council of ‘Far-Left Agenda’ New York City mayor Eric Adams accused his fellow Democrats on the city council of following a “Far-left agenda” on criminal justice, indicating in-party tension as the Big Apple faces a wave of hate crimes.

“You have people who have a far-left agenda, who don’t believe in supporting police, and they’re writing this legislation and just handing it off to the council people.” The council, which has a Democratic supermajority, earlier that day passed two bills that ban solitary confinement and require police officers to list the race and gender of every person they encounter during an investigation.

Hate crimes in New York City, a vast majority of which are anti-Semitic, last month rose by 33 percent compared with the same period last year, CBS reported.

While overall crime in the city has slightly decreased compared with last year, transit crimes, felony assaults, and car thefts have all jumped up.

The question now is, what is Adams going to do about it? If New Yorkers really want this situation to change, they are going to have to replace at least some of these city council members.
