We import illegal aliens who come here with no posessions, work for minimum wage, and then wire part of their paychecks HOME and wonder why we have “not erradicated poverty”.
The welfare safety net provides a cruch for those who want to survive at that level by choice.
When you make little and wire it out of the country, you aren’t really hurting.
Provide for yourself first. Those who are unwilling to provide for themselves and are able to do so deserve no support. Legal or illegal.
It makes me sick too. I’ve seen them lined up at a Wal Mart wiring the money. I’ve seen them load up cars with “free stuff” and I know they are caring it across the border. It is sickening. My 88 year old mother was listening to a Mexican woman talking to her toddler and asked her why she didn’t try and teach him English. Mom was ignored and I know that Mexican could speak English. It is just sickening.
