Illegal immigrants do not get free money

If they are getting financial assistance it means they have qualified for a program that provides it. If they qualify for a program, that means they have begun a legal process and qualify to be here during said process.

Further, the existence of these programs do not preclude Americans from getting assistance. If we cut all immigrant aid programs that money would not automatically go to veterans, disaster relief, or anything else for native born citizens. It would take separate government action to fund those programs. And since those programs are not already being funded, the people you keep electing to represent you have no desire to prioritize funding them. Otherwise it would be done by now.

We can debate whether certain programs should exist or not. But each program stands on its own. This anti-immigration scapegoating is just that. Nobody is going to help you after these programs are ended. The money won't be freed up for people who need it. Not veterans. Not disaster relief. It will go to more tax cuts for the same people who ship our jobs abroad and lay us off at the smallest economic tremor.

The Migrant Crisis on both sides of our Borders stems from the utter boneheaded Foreign Affairs and to a lesser extent the Business Cycles that the Federal Reserve creates in our Bubble Economy. If the US Government had never contributed to destabilize Other Sovereign Countries for control over their Natural Resources with our so called Foreign Aid, Sanctions, Trade Embargoes, and Arm Sales, we wouldn't be experiencing the unintentional consequences of our porous Borders on both Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽.

Our utter ignorance of Foreign Affairs is obvious to anyone since the US Government supported vicious Dictators and Oligarchs in Sovereign Countries which brutalized and impoverished their Citizenry using the Militaries, then they're seen as our Puppets by their Citizenry. It’s contributing to the very chaos you're viewing now at the Border. The US Citizenry is asked to subsidize for the cost of "Free" Education and Healthcare Benefits for Migrants and Refugees who invade our Borders desperate to care for their families due to their Countries being destabilized to begin with.

Your Government created the very same problems US Taxpayers are now forced to pay for.

The Political Indentured Servants on Capitol Hill and State Capitols aren't about to tell anyone about the Financial Incentives and the Legalized Bribery they get for their support for these policies since they know they'll be hunted like big game animals, tarred, and feathered if their Constituents found out about all the Money Politicians get in their Coffers.

We create the Monsters we eventually become afraid of.
