This is nothing new, nor does it return illegal aliens. For as lonh as I can remember State DSS regs allow a local agency to return people to other districts if it’s considered to be cost effective. Transportation costs can also be paid to send NY residents to another state if they can verify that they have housing and a means of support in the other state.

TO ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO DEPORT ILLEGALS:
The gemora in Sanhedrin (109b) says that one of the Rishus of the people of Sodom was that they did not want foreigners coming to their land, because they were wealthier than their neighbors, and were afraid that they’ll get poorer if the foreigners move in. According to the Ramban in parshas Vayerah (dibur hamaschil “vened’ah osam”), despite the fact that the Sodomites committed many aveiros, what sealed their destruction was the fact that they were anti-immigration.
If you dislike the fact that illegals come to the US and dont pay taxes, then advocate the legalization of those that come to the US.
But deportation is nothing more than midas sdom!

Hey,

If any of you are thinking about making Aliyah, move to a homeless shelter first and then get your airfare for free!! Get something from your tax dollars before Obama takes it all….

I dont see where the article says this is for illegal Mexicans. They are not homeless, either, as they keep 100% of their earnings and get subsidized by you and I for school, medical, social services, housing, and take charity, to boot.

What to stop these guys from accepting the generous offer and going home for a weeks and then sneaking in again at the Mexican border? It happens every day at the border.

No one can say the Democratic party is unified regarding Washington, D.C. and NY.

Federally, the very wealthy get a bail-out to ensure their multi-million dollar bonuses.

Municipally, the very poor get a one way ticket to Palookaville.

$3000 a month for housing. Why not ship them upstate where housing costs are less.

Even better, we should ban all illegals, since it is soundly based on Biblical precedent. And after all, everyone says New York is the modern equivalent of Sodom, so there’s a good precedent.
The big problem is what if the righteous people escape to New Jersey – they’ll never fit in there.

Send out the illegals who are homeless and take care of our people,our citizens and legal immigrants. Send the criminals out. The good people should not be made to suffer more.If someone who is on welfare or homeless chooses to get a free trip to a destination of his choice,fine.

Many homeless are that way because they lost their livelyhood, or they are mentally ill. Some choose that way of life. I don’t think this will sove the problem. Get rid of the illegals first.
