If you want to earn a living, corpse collectors/hearse drivers to crematoriums in Wuhan are getting paid $143 (US) per hour.
If they came here to suckle off the government teat, dump them at the border or give them a plane ticket home.
“In Boston, the Rev. Dieufort Fleurissaint said some Haitian immigrants worry that accepting benefits could keep their relatives from coming to the U.S.”
As it should! If you can’t support yourself, why should you expect me to support you AND your family?

Go home. If you can’t support yourself here you have no reason to be here.
Well...if these illegal alien invaders are “homeless”, go back to your sh**hole country of origin . If not, go to jail proceeding being tossed out of our country . Get OUT ! ! !
