Texas Governor Slams NYC Plan Giving Migrants Prepaid $1000 Debit Cards

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has vehemently criticized New York City Mayor Eric Adams' new initiative to distribute prepaid credit cards to migrants, describing the move as "Insanity" and "offensive". The controversial plan, aimed at providing financial assistance for food purchases, allocates up to $1,000 monthly per family. Abbott's remarks highlight a broader critique of federal immigration policies under President Joe Biden, accusing them of fostering an open-border stance contributing to urban and state-level challenges. The governor points to the effectiveness of strict border enforcement in Texas as a countermeasure to illegal crossings, emphasizing the state's right to self-defense and border security. Amid national debate, the plan's critics, including rapper 50 Cent, question the prioritization of migrants over citizens in need, reflecting a growing discontent with current immigration policies and their local implications.
