What about the farm bill?

Most farmers are probably sole proprietors or partnerships.

These "workers" are not here for the benefit of the general public, they are here for the benefit of corporations.

The point of my comment was that the benefits of the corporatons accrue to (i) owners, through profits; (ii) employess, through wages, pensions, and benefits, and (iii) communities, through philantropic acts of the firms.

If you talk about welfare, you should talk about the impact on the above-listed entities. I repeat: there is no such thing as corporate welfare; it's been invented by the leftists to make you angry.

Now, if you look at corporations, you will find that the "rich" own a very minor part of them. Most of us own our corporations -- though pension funds, 401Ks, etc. That is to whom the benefits received by the companies go.

This includes hiring foreign workers. If XYX Company hires an illegal alien (no, I do not condone that), YOU benefit from that through 401K and your pension fund, as well as the taxes paid on its profit by the corporation. When that alien educates his kid in school for which you pay, YOU loose. As you can see now, for YOU there are both pluses and minuses.

Whatever YOUR pluses and minuses are, they have nothing to do with corporations.

I do not blame you for throwing stones, but you should know better at whom to throw them. And, please, stop repeating the leftist propaganda.

Yes lets not discuss the topic like civilized human beings with different opinions. You win - not interested in playing your stupid name calling games.

If this is not corporate welfare what is it?

Nothing you can name, no matter how egregious, no matter how clear cut, counts as "corporate welfare" in TopQuirk's eyes.
