Incentives explain outcomes.

Incentives explain outcomes.

Free money from the US taxpayer is like a giant magnet attracting 90% of Earth to America!

So why wouldn’t vast numbers of illegals want to come here?

Unfortunately, if allowed, this will cause the collapse of America.

We even pay for free Halal (sharia torture) food!

How rich would we be if we didn’t send 90+ percent of the countries in the world money. This has to stop. With what’s being uncovered and how the elites in DC do not represent us, I’m pessimistic that our country survives.

“How rich would we be if we didn't send 90+ percent of the countries in the world money.”

Including even the rich countries of Europe.
Even the BBC was getting from money from US tax payer funded USAID.
Only for them to turn round and create fake anti Trump videos.

43 million people are on food stamps.
80% of SNAP users are also on Medicaid.
61% get two or more additional welfare programs.
And 53.5% of immigrants are on at least one welfare program.

Nearly 45% of Afghans in the U.S. are receiving FREE FOOD from you.

So on it goes........

It should not be possible for immigrants (legal or otherwise) to collect any form of welfare.

Speaking of the UK and our money...

Get a load of this from the UK...

Keir Starmer leaves UK independence hanging in balance – while EU falls apart

Scroll down for the bit on the UK's military readiness.

That their army is the smallest it has been since the Napoleonic Wars and that it's shrinking by 2,000 soldiers a year. That their air force has only a 1/3 of the combat aircraft that were in service at the end of the Cold War. And that a week ago the Royal Navy revealed that only half its fleet is operational.

Wanna bet every country in Western Europe has been lying about its military readiness while scamming money for its defense from US taxpayers which is then used to prop up its welfare states...?

While at the same time they have been violating the sanctions on Russia and buying Russian energy.

It does not matter how much money you make, if you spend more than you make.

The left has been deliberately working to collapse the United States economy for decades.

It is called the Cloward Piven strategy, put forward by leftists Cloward and Piven in 1966.

This strategy has been pushed very hard, and is very close to collapsing the USA.

It’s what the insurance guys used to call an “attractive nuisance”. Like a trampoline right by the sidewalk on the route kids walk to school.

Our betters in government have made the Citizen a Chump. We used to hear “Crime Doesn’t Pay”

Maybe that was never really true, but they’ve elevated it to an art form. It pays very well, and it starts to snowball. A lot of D.C. and state governments has the appearance of ghouls looting a corpse.

If you think it’s just welfare as an incentive, then you are missing a big part of the picture (at least as regards illegal immigration from Central and South America.

A better life is the incentive. When you live in a place where your economic future is extremely limited as is that of your children and everyone you know, the incentive to pack up and leave is great. For a huge number of illegal immigrants, staying in their home countries means a life of poverty and hardship. Getting to the US provides them the chance to make more money in a few years (even doing menial low wage work) than some of them could make in a lifetime back where they came from.

Getting rid of illegal welfare here is a necessary step but there will be no end to migration unless the source countries develop economically to provide meaningful work and income for their people.
