They're not illegal. Asylum is legal. If you don't like that you should try to enact mass immigration reform to increase the # of visas and greencards available and to process applications faster.

This common and frustrating misconception really annoys me. THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT ELIGIBLE FOR MOST OF THESE PROGRAMS no matter how often the media likes you to think they are.

They don't advertise this and I'm not sure how well known it is but there is a corporate discount program https://citibikenyc.com/pricing/citibikeforbusiness.
Your company signs up and pays the discounted membership for you. I have it where it's 50/50 split but I don't see it on this page.

This happened to me too, with some other bank. The rep just kept saying "no one wants to meet up with people right now in person". This was a few months ago. So fucking stupid,

I have found ppls important belongs before and tried to move mountains to get it back to them. PSA: do yourself a favor and put your phone number in your wallet/bag/backpack/whatever. Make sure your ID address is current.

This is a temporary solution to a long term problem and to be clear I'm not saying we should be bleeding money in to this sitation. We are technically sheltering the homeless. Because they happen to be asylum seekers, everyone just looks at it as "giving handouts to illegals."
I'm talking about the mainstream belief that "illegals" can just get on medicaid and food stamps and cash benefits, etc when they literally cannot do that.
If we as a society actually wanted to fix this problem, we would work on housing our local homeless population and fixing the very broken immigration system, freeing up space and resources so we weren't faced with this crises to begin with. But we choose not to do that.
