New York Taxpayers To Pay $220 Million Next Year For Illegal Migrants’ Health Care

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul recently signed into law a $220 billion budget riddled with wasteful spending, including $220 million for free Medicaid for illegal immigrants and a $600 million subsidy for a new Buffalo Bills stadium, according to the New York Post.

Federal law prohibits federal tax dollars from going toward Medicaid for illegal immigrants, so New York taxpayers will pick up the tab for healthcare for up to 20,000 illegal immigrants living in the Empire State.

Those making less than $18,754 would qualify for the program, though many other details regarding eligibility have yet to be announced.

Hochul, a Buffalo resident, pushed for her pet project of giving $600 million to gift the NFL a new stadium, and is part of why the budget was delayed for days.

In addition to state funding, Eerie County will contribute $250 million to the project, making it the largest public subsidy for a stadium in the United States, according to Bloomberg. The NFL and the Bills will only pay $550 million toward the new stadium.

The New York State budget also gave $350 million in capital funding to the New York City Housing Authority, which is struggling financially, as thousands of residents are behind on rent payments.

New York state already has some of the highest debt in the nation. The last thing New York needs is more wasteful spending that continues to burden future generations.

Even more reason for the rubes to flee that concrete shithole. So glad I don't live there or anywhere near there.

Because they are Bigtime rubes. I live in one of the top 5 tourist destinations of the upper Midwest. To put it bluntly,....its friggin beautiful. Yet is as modern if not more so than anywhere else.. Cant imagine living anywhere else for the spring, summer, fall, and early winter months. Every year the tourists come by the assload. Many choose to retire here. Which is just fine. Like the old TRUE joke up here goes.......There are thousands and thousands of people here who work their entire lives to save the money to have the privilege to retire here. But I dont know a damn soul who works their whole life away so they can some day retire in CHICAGO! :laugh: Rubes indeed.
