Also one must remember the “Alice Report” is from “United Way of America based in Alexandria, Virginia, is a nonprofit organization that works with almost 1,200 local United Way offices throughout the country in a coalition of charitable organizations to pool efforts in fundraising and support.”

I would not trust anything they say personally...

"How many are illegal immigrants?"

The article conveniently leaves that info out.

This is gearing up for the 2020 elections, putting out garbage nonsense that the millenials will eat up.......

Exactly. Painting the background, setting the stage.

In Maryland, if a family qualifies for one “benefit” they can almost automatically get about 8 other ones. Some, like free and reduced-price school lunches are very easy to get. I do not think that any of these “benefits” count as income for them. Thus the ridiculous poverty numbers when the people are living with smart phones, fancy shoes and huge TVs.

I would have to call this Fake Blues.

That's a subset of Fake News--where you're trying to trash a particular party or philosophy in the run-up to an election by releasing fictitious stories to suggest that things are so bad that the (more conservative) party in power needs to be voted out.

Actually this is about right just about everywhere. For people who try to actually WORK and pay their own way. Those who don’t work on dependency are doing much much better and don’t have to work at all.

My Kids are in this situation, They all have decent professional occupations. But by the time they pay out what it costs to keep a job and work they are making less than if they were on welfare.

The system is absolutely broken.

Texas has all kinds of economic and academic problems.

Get rid of all the illegals and these problems will vastly improve.

TV journalism is the lowest of all media scum levels. Then note that this is an Austin TV station.

I know of a single mother who does not work, in my town in Texas, with 4 kids. She gets $800 in food stamps plus a rent free apartment.
