    This woman has been living in a hotel for free for 9 months. Why is she having so much trouble seeking asylum?
  • Thank You Sleepy Joe 🛏️ For destroying our children’s future 👍🏾✌🏽
  • This is a joke. I have been here in this country for 12 years. I am an American citizen and I have never asked the government for help in my life. The only thing I have done is work hard like everyone else to have my things.

    I have cancer worked since 15. Paid 315 an hour when I started. Not working now, and they have taken my madiciad and food stamps for ILLEGALS ! VOTING For Trump
  • Just imagine if our nyc homeless or struggling college students could get access to theses cards. We should have a choice on how our tax $ is spent. Five people in my household i can Definitely use a card, then my husband can stay home & not work weekends.
