Getting rid of 40 million sponger illegal immigrants would solve a lot of this problem

“I can’t get milk for my child. What are we going to do?” said Leida Silva, 54, breaking into tears outside the Latino supermarket

Go home?

340 million residents in the US
123 million people working full-time
93 million out of the work force
46 million using food banks

$18T debt.

If the world economy takes a hit (like in 2008) and it all falls off a cliff -- we have absolutely no cushion to fall back on.

Each full-time worker supports 3 people, roughly. And some of those people are already close to the edge.

This would get real ugly real fast.

I call BS. Follow most of these people home and you will likely find two nice cars in the driveway and cupboards full of food that they have purchased with their EBT cards and all the other welfare that the government is handing out. Half of them are probably selling the food to others.

Is the economy crumbling...for the have-nots,...yes

46 million hitting food banks...don’t think so...

Sounds like the bogus numbers like the “homeless” number from years ago...

Comments at article:

A. Illegal immigrants are not eligible for SNAP, Head Start, Section 8, Student Loans, etc.
If you don’t believe me, go to your local welfare office and try to apply for any of those without a social security number.

reply to A: That is true, to an extent. There is a thriving black market for SS numbers here in the southwest, and most of the databases that are tracking all of those programs are not linked. A few months ago the local news in Phoenix ran a report on a Phoenix woman whose SSN was being used by SIX different people to receive government “benefits” (4 in Arizona, 2 in Colorado). None of the .gov systems that were authorizing these allotments were linked.

My nephew’s id was hacked, everything stolen. He is in Pheonix.

Good! I hope those people will finally rise up and do a couple things. First, get off their collective arses and make a life for themselves. Second, hold the government responsible for its policies that caused and/or contributed to their diminished lives. Vote the liberals out of office.
