Albany, N.Y.—On Monday, Assemblymember Jon Rivera and Senator Sean Ryan announced that funding for the New York State Enhanced Services to Refugees Program had “overwhelming support” in both Legislative houses. As part of the 2021 state budget, the Assembly approved $3 million in funding. The next steps for the approval process are pending. The Enhanced Services to Refugees Program provides services so that refugees can successfully integrate into local communities.(Snip) Rivera and Ryan say refugees and immigrants have been instrumental in reversing the population decline in cities like Buffalo. Over 90% settle in Upstate New York, which makes the Program “vital” to the region.

Comments:

Population decline is not necessarily a bad thing. Instead of addressing reasons why people don't want to live there, NY "leaders" double down by importing unassimilable foreigners who will become a massive burden on taxpayers the lesser 49 states and also push Legacy Americans out the area entirely, hastening the demise of the region.

"Refugee resettlement costs American taxpayers nearly $9 billion every five years, according to research, and each refugee costs taxpayers about $133,000 over the course of their lifetime. Within five years, an estimated 16 percent of all refugees admitted will need housing assistance paid for by taxpayers." https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2021/02/04/taxpayer-funded-refugee-contractors-cheer-joe-biden-surging-refugee-resettlement-by-960/

They probably have 3 million people of foreign origin who claim to be refugees in New York. So 3 million in funding won’t go too far in direct payments to refugees. Usually with those Democrat run programs the money does not go to the refugees, but to Democrat operatives and supporters who run the refugee programs.

3 million dollars is a joke to what it will take for these illegals to make it in new York, but I can say thank you New York and encourage Joebama to send them all they can handle and more, and send those left over to Delaware.

How many more thousands will apply for welfare ? I have a relative who cannot get any help. None. Not even food assistance, but free for illegal aliens plus payment to families taking in children. Never mind medical care, not only for "refugees" but the Americans they give COVID.

President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, sparked outrage Wednesday when he was reportedly spotted going maskless on an American Airlines flight to Washington D.C. The Tennessee Star, a conservative news website, published a photo of a bare-faced Kerry apparently flying first-class from Boston to D.C. on Wednesday. The airline requires all passengers wear masks on board, in accordance with directives from the CDC and TSA and Biden’s Jan. 21 executive order mandating face coverings during interstate travel. “Consistent with U.S. government directives, individuals who refuse to wear a mask may be denied boarding, removed from the aircraft or subject to penalties
