Here in the northeast these immigrants are being trafficked to areas where we’d otherwise have ghost towns - because industry has left and now the “new economy” is “gibsmedat ranching”. The rest of the country pays to keep an imported underclass here so the government worker caste doesn’t shut down due to lack of clients.
To slow the cash burn until I found another job (at age 61), I applied for unemployment which they countered by contesting the filing (didn't want their rates going up). I countered further by contesting their filing and also filed for food stamp benefits.
Five months later, I had a similar job with an honest company, won my case, got retroactive unemployment benefits for the five months and filed to get off food stamps.
Long story short is that while I was away at the new job, my home voice mailbox was full of offers for new government programs due to my age, income, yada yada yada. I finally had to send in copies of my paycheck to get off food stamps and, even then, they ruled that they payments would be suspended, not because I was ineligible now, but because I didn't want them.
The New Trump economy sending people back to work was certainly a good thing for me and for society as a whole, but not for the gibsmedat welfare state. They seemed to think I was crazy to give up food stamps, the Obamaphone and eligibility for other glorious government programs just to go back to work.
FWIW, the new job pays WAY better than the old job and I don't have a crook for a boss. The crooks actually had to hire two people to take my place, at least one of whom was higher up on the victimology totem pole.
BTW, the food stamp allowance was actually more than what we spend on groceries now and I now understand why the food stamp crowd fills their shopping carts with prime cuts of meat, frozen food and other convenience items whereas the hoi polli get basics.
