NY sucks!
NY to pay citizenship application fee for 2,000 immigrants
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York state will cover the citizenship application fee for an estimated 2,000 low-income immigrants.
The program announced Wednesday will select winners via a lottery. The drawing will be open to immigrants now in the state whose incomes are low, but just too high for federal assistance.
New York Secretary of State Rossana Rosado says the existing $680 citizenship application fee is a burden for many immigrants. She says an estimated 160,000 immigrants will be eligible to participate.

Isn't really the tax payers will cover the citizenship application fee?New York state will cover the citizenship application fee
If many immingrants can't afford the $680 application fee how do they afford living expenses in general once here?New York Secretary of State Rossana Rosado says the existing $680 citizenship application fee is a burden for many immigrants. She says an estimated 160,000 immigrants will be eligible to participate.
160,000 X $680 = $108,800,000 That is money we could be putting away in our IRAs, cover the obnoxious property taxes we pay and our own well being.
Why can't Andy just say no. Our current residents are already burdened with the highest property taxes in the nation and they are leaving the state?Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration authorized the lottery after advocates for immigrants proposed the idea.
SO who are the advocates?
Why just waive no fees and let the donor cover it all?Private donors will contribute money to help the state pay the application fees.

"Ameddica benz veddy veddy goot ta me!" As overheard between two immigrants after a long period of living here in this country.
(AMERICA) I think this means the honest hard working taxpayer who tries to pay his/her bills on time while trying to live within their means..'cuz they know they'll be the last in line for a handout..when they really really need one! is paying for all of this.
This BS really has to stop. Being your brothers keeper is one thing. Taking care of everyone is another.
If Cuomo and crew approve of this stuff he has to go.
You want to support everyone then use up your money first before taking tax dollars.
