@ted I am what the french call a "wetback" or "illegal alien" which is why I chose to revolve my branding around 👽  to own this shit. As a former illegal for 30 years, my wife works at immigration office for US Government deporting ppl & I worked in immigration a while back. Lets clear some misconceptions.

As an illegal you cannot get subsidized housing/section 8. We cant get food stamps. You cannot get healthcare bc I pay for my parents out of pocket. For home loans, you usually get turned down bc you are too much of a risk, same is for college. All these are things I learned being in this life.

Now what California does with is surplus budget money is up to them. If they want to make healthcare accessible their choice. If banks want to loan out bc they are capitalist also them. If colleges want to give farm worker kids scholarships bc their endowment also them.

But the fallacy that we can get free shit is incorrect. Instead what we have is a propped up economy where we pay but we cant take out

incredibly worthwhile read on immigration from the POV of an “illegal alien” in which i learned a lot about both @gramajo.eth and the realities behind common misconceptions.

this is why i believe in sharing opinions (even if unpopular or wrong) because it creates open discourse that lead to better understanding.
