Arrr, the land lubbers in the US be treatin' these scallywag illegal aliens better than their own troops! They be showerin' 'em with pre-paid credit cards while our brave sailors be strugglin' to pay their debts, especially while they be off fightin' on foreign shores. Aye, it be a topsy-turvy world we be livin' in, me hearties!
In the language of a 17th-century pirate, New York City Mayor Eric Adams be planning to pilot prepaid debit cards to 500 illegal migrant families who have already received a voucher to stay in select hotels for 28 days. These credit cards can be used at the leisure of the illegal migrants for up to $10,000 each in taxpayer money, with no ID check and no fraud control. If one violates the program's stipulations, they "risk" being removed from it, but not from the country. The cost of caring for illegal migrants in New York is estimated to reach $12 billion over the next three years. Meanwhile, American service members who put their lives on the line for the country are receiving less compensation than illegal migrants in New York.The current system results in soldiers losing over $200 each month while deployed, leading to financial struggles for military families. The tax exclusion for service members should be reformed to provide fair compensation during deployments. By updating legislation to support service members with a Deployment Income tax exclusion, Congress can better prioritize the well-being of those who protect the nation.Unlike illegal migrants who ignore the law, soldiers risk their lives to uphold it. Taking care of our military is crucial for national security, and reforms such as the Deployment Income tax exclusion can help provide fair compensation for their sacrifices.
