I think many on disability could deliver groceries (or similar not too strenuous job), even just part time. Plenty of US Citizens could be working in some capacity that are not. Too many want to live a “life of leisure”, as I have heard some call it, while collecting disability.
Yup it’s an internal problem that cannot be fixed by importing people from the outside. Those coming in will see how it works and they too will choose that “life of leisure” on the taxpayers back.
Illegals must be deported even if it means we all become farmers as a second job to eat.
Growing up, I knew a good number of families that were generational welfare recipients, though I did not know that term at a young age. FEDGOV being their nanny is all they know and they plan for ways to stay on the gravy train. Makes one wonder how difficult it will be to break them of that cycle.
A major problem is the disability rules.
It's all or nothing.
If they make any money, their disability and medical benefits are taken away.
We need a system with a sliding scale to enable folks to get partially or completely off the system but back on if needed.
A friend has written a book which we think will sell well, but if he publishes it and gains income he will lose all of his income and medical benefits.
He has medical problems that make it hard to get insurance.
He might survive a year or so from book sales, but then what does he do if he has been kicked off?
Getting back on can be a daunting task.
