New York City Mayor Eric Adams defended his policy that uses taxpayer dollars to fund debit cards for immigrants as a cost-effective measure of responsibility.
“The reason it’s created such controversy is because [of] how it has been reported and distorted,” Adams told CNBC on Friday. “We are required to feed migrants and asylum-seekers, as well as everyone else in our homeless system. … About 40,000 are in the homeless system that are not migrants and asylum-seekers.”
“We’re required to feed them, and so, what I told the team to do is we have to find a way to do it that’s less costly, because we’re in a 30% decrease in the course of the migrant crisis, and that we don’t have food waste,” he said.
