CHECK MAYOR Q WELCOMING NYC MIGRANTS TO KANSAS CITY ALONG WITH BUDGETING FOR THEIR CARE!!!
Special thanks to TKC BEST & BRIGHTEST READERS who keep teaching us how to jump over the paywall . . . Accordingly, here are just a few quote shared in the name of FAIR USE, news and education interests:
"Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas has a hunch that migrants with work permits could help alleviate the labor shortage that has built up as his city posts some of the region’s fastest economic growth. That could also help ease the burden on cities like New York that have struggled to provide housing and support for an unprecedented influx of new arrivals, many of them asylum seekers from Latin America . . .
“We need a lot more employees,” Lucas said. “If there are people who are willing and ready to work, then I believe that there could be a place for them.”
More deets on the plan . . .
"To be sure, Lucas envisions the migrants needing extra help getting settled. The city is looking at ways it can provide housing and other support, including training and language services. The 2024-2025 budget earmarked $1 million for short-term rehousing, healthcare, and job training programs for refugees and migrants."
