I work in “welfare” and there is nothing for those without any status. One needs to have some sort of immigration status, however temporary (TPS, asylum application preapproved, etc) to get benefits. I personally think there are too many ppl on tps and refugees and asylum seekers but let’s keep the facts straight |
This is true, but anyone and their aunt can apply for asylum and hang out here for years waiting for a hearing. This needs to stop as well, though I think Trump is too stupid to do it. |
Just implement the tax on remittances. It will do wonders for reducing illegal population. |
I am pretty conservative but lol that remittance tax is never getting paid. What are you going to monitor everyone’s Venmo? |
This is sort of true. In our super-progressive county, there are grants in the millions of dollars to non-profits who provide benefits to illegals. So, while you are correct about little to no direct assistance, money gets laundered through grants. |
NYC needs to be cleaned up bad.
We were there walking across the Brooklyn Bridge and there were clearly migrants there hawking food and trinkets, laying out all their wares on the walkway. It is entirely prohibited. Those migrants clearly give zero Fs about our laws. No one wants cheap junk from a blanket on the pathway of Brooklyn Bridge. They are also annoying AF, because they block the path and cause so much unnecessary congestion. ICE should just camp out there all day every day and deport anyone breaking the law on BB. It is sad how trashy and 3rd world the US has become because millions of new guests don't respect our laws and hawk bull crap for under the table cash receipts they're not even paying taxes on. Deport them all. |
Apparently you have never seen a western union line at Walmart on a Saturday. And yes, venmo and other banking institutions can be regulated for this. |
"The study says that in the five states that provided financial information, it cost taxpayers nearly 550% more to cover illegal aliens. The U.S. hospital system has struggled to handle the massive red tape of verifying whether patients are legal citizens due to a new loophole under Biden and Harris. As such, burdened hospitals often can't follow up, creating a new iteration of "catch and release" in the U.S. hospital system. First, U.S. states usually check a patient's citizenship status through federal sources such as Social Security. The loophole is that, if the government data doesn't match, states give patients a 90-day grace period to get documentation to verify eligibility and obtain Medicaid coverage for healthcare.

Why are they allowed to have benefits, and kids allowed to enroll in school. Both should not be allowed if illegal. They broke the law so why are they rewarded? |
ICE is already hiring in positions to display these mass deportations.

+1 and schools provide many millions of dollars worth of services-- meals, medical, counsrling, ESL, Special Education, after school care, etc |
Ah, this is true! I was talking about direct assistance, yes. |
It’s a version of “you are what you eat” |
Since all outward dollar movements go through the NY Fed, it would be remarkably easy. Not a good idea, but easy. But how do you distinguish between a remittance made by an undocumented immigrant, a tourist who is sending money home (won in vegas?) and a US citizen? |
Reminds me of Paris. Hundreds of migrants trying to sell the same stupid crap. |
