$1, 400 for food a month for migrant families!?!? Meanwhile $200 cap in food stamps for US citizens' families. Unbelievable.

[Test_---ih]

Vouchers for food should have gone to homeless Americans.

[josearmando]

$350 a week while Americans are struggling. Disrespectful.

[SixFivesStarChic]

This program should have never started! That money should have been distributed to struggling families, homeless citizens and our military vets!

[mayhemmike]

A program that NEVER should've started at all☝️☝️☝️

[jimveybe]

Notice they cut this program AFTER Trump was elected...

[andresdr]

How about a debit card program for Homeless vets and NYC citizens struggling to make ends meet?

[Elijah_myhighway]

There are millions of struggling homeless Americans that could have used this support.

[CherylPerry-stxo]

I only get 900.00 a month on social security, these people get 1400.00 a month, i am an American and worked all my life, these people are non American, and did not work for a living.

[darla]

This is a slap in the face to every American. No wonder you got voted out. Shameful.

[michelledidier]

Meanwhile the veterans, elderly and homeless are still going hungry and have no help

[Feminichole]

How in the hell do you go to a whole different country and then have nerve to complain about the Free food you are given?

[kenjiujitsu]

This money should have gone to Americans, not foreigners.

[hubinski]

My 78 year old mother is on a fixed income and signed up for food stamps. $16 a month they gave her!!! Outrageous.

[irideaunicorn]

$750 for the hurricane survivors, but these migrants were getting $1, 400 a month and "living large" while disrupting our country criminally...

[jolu]

350 dollars per week, my adult mother who is 85 gets 75 dollars a month, how shameful.

[TheNuzzman]

These free debit cards should have NEVER been given to people breaking the law, it's pathetic that we have homeless Americans starving on the streets.

[redtsun]

That's actually crazy. Not only were we allowing them into the country, but we were literally giving them money. Actual insanity.

[kristinrutherford]

this illegal immigrant issue is the number one reason why even millions of democrats voted trump

[ronniebaker]

You let Americans that served in war die on the streets and pampered these strangers hurts.
