Oh, I see. So it's actually better to "give a man a fish so he can eat for a day" rather than "teach a man to fish so he can eat forever"? That makes much more sense! I see the Obama way now. I see now how selfish I've been. I just need to start working twice as much to support these people.

I think I'll send all my personal wealth to the Illegal Immigrant Support Center tomorrow so they can spend it wisely. Thanks for setting me straight!

The Dear Leader approves your new correct thinking.

One of the grim scenes I remember from "The Killing Fields" is how the Kymer Rouge sent the kids into the slave labor camps to pull up tomatos and other plants the inmates were growing to supplement their meager food allowance provided by their jailers. They didn't want the inmates to think that sustainence came from anybody but the jailers.

Texas better get prepared for millions of refugees pouring over the southern border.

“That barely covers the $555 in rent and utilities each month for himself and his mother. Food stamps leave enough for rice and vegetables. They choose sweaters over heat.”

Oh, please!!! They get about $135 each for food stamps...more than I spend a month on groceries. And I have to wear sweaters to keep the heat down too!

Welcome to America! It’s rough all over, not just for refugees.
