i think it’s masterful distraction strategy that we’re discussing immigrants in Ohio eating pets as some abstract definition of racism instead of focusing on the *actual* issues caused by an unchecked border (national security and debt, employment, healthcare), and i think we’re all foolish to be falling for it.

Unchecked border? Nani? National security and employment sure, to certain degrees, agreed. How does the border tie to debt and healthcare? I’m curious

100% @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

This is in accurate. I work for a healthcare company that works with Medicare. We can’t see people without it and immigrants who didn’t cross the border through the “legal process” usually don’t have it because it requires the government to know who you are, have a record of you. Which puts them in a vulnerable position (deportation). There is a process we follow to verify eligibility so, no Medicare, no benefits.

Stop welfare, and you've instantly solved the "immigration crisis". The government has no business playing Robin Hood.
