I recently read an article that some people are upset by legislation that would restrict welfare access to non-citizens. Wait.
Are you kidding me?
I’ve long thought about moving to Japan, and it may still happen, one of the reasons the country is so well run; they have very strict criteria as to who can relocate there. IF I were to apply to become a permanent resident I have to show that I have enough of an independent income that I will not have to rely on subsidies reserved for Japanese Citizens and I’m 100% okay with that– I would never expect a host nation to help me because I choose to live there.
But here in the USA you can come here as a non-citizen and get a handout paid for by we the people?
If you’re one of these people who wants tax dollars to go to non-citizens step into a quiet place and shake your head real hard.
Hear that sound? Those are rocks in your head and you should really think about getting some help. US Taxpayer dollars should fund US Citizens and if we can eliminate the rampant fraud and waste there will be no single mom, no veteran, no elderly person struggling to make ends meet.
And before you launch into “this country was built on immigrants”– totally true– but by LEGAL immigrants who not only didn’t have their hands out but who often worked harder than many of the established American citizens. You want to come here for a better life– live the American dream? Go for it– work hard and you’ll have it.
Stop letting guilt guide you and try common sense.
