New York City is moving forward with a controversial plan to give debit cards for food and baby supplies to immigrant families who are in the United States illegally.

Under the new program, a family of four would receive up to $350 per week on a debit card. The program will last six weeks. Ten families received debit cards on Monday as the program looks to expand to about 115 families over the next week.
