Our shelters are over flowing. We have our own people living UNDER the Caribou bridge.......and these immigrants get keys to housing handed to them. Where is the justice?
I am all for helping people, but lets start with our OWN first!
Maine can't even lend a helping hand to our own American homeless people, yet the state is bringing in immigrants. Something just doesn't make sense in all of this, but you can bet SOMEone is making a bundle!
This is the fundamental philosophical flaw of the Welfare State: Once you establish the precedent that people can have money forcibly taken from them (thru taxes) to support strangers, where do you draw the line?
Have people's money only support people born in their own town or state? Nope, Supreme Court struck that down, restriction on right to travel.
Have the money only support Americans? Nope. That's "racist". The rest of the world is hungry too. Gotta feed them too
Any argument you can make for being allowed to restrict the charity from out of your own pockets to just the people of your own state, I can use to argue that the charity of my own pocket should only go to my family and friends
The government should not be in the charity business. Charity should be supported by voluntary donations
