It’s a good thing we don’t have an “immigration” problem here, that would make things even worse
What I'm trying to figure out is when "immigrants" began getting all sorts of tax-payer funded subsidies. I recall stories by my grandfather of how you had to get sponsors in the US in order to legally emigrate from overseas, that would guarantee you a job and income. I remember that the same thing was going on when I was in grade school, when Jewish immigrants from the Soviet Union were sponsored by the community (not the taxpayers, but churches, synagogues, and people). Now it seems that people coming to the US are eligible for all sorts of tax payer funded programs, both legal and illegal immigrants. When did that start happening?
