And you believe everything that the corrupt regime told you? Did they also tell you that 2.2 million illegals drew Social Security and welfare benefits in place of deserving Americans? They also were registered to vote and were issued a driver's license.

@TexChik No I don't believe everything the corrupt Trump regime tells me.

Did they also tell you that 2.2 million illegals drew Social Security and welfare benefits in place of deserving Americans?

Wrong country, wrong numbers, wrong description of legal status of the recipients. Besides that, immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally do not qualify for most federal benefits, even when they’re paying taxes, and those with legal status make up a small portion of those who use public benefits.

The $3,874 refers to a payment made in Canada, not the U.S., to a legally admitted family of refugees. It was largely a one-time resettlement payment under Canada’s refugee program, not monthly assistance in perpetuity, the fact-checking site Snopes found a year ago in debunking a Facebook post that misrepresented Canada’s policy. A document cited in the Facebook post, showing aid for food, transportation and other basics needs, applied to a family of five.

@TexChik That's called appeal to authority when the original source material matters

@SatanBurger Libs lie constantly, so who's your source? Biden or Hillary?

SatanBurger · 36-40, F

@TexChik Maga lies constantly that's why you fall for sites with failed fact checks, liars like sites that tell them the lies they want to hear.

I use mediabiasfactcheck site which is pretty fair regarding both right and left platforms

@SatanBurger So sayeth the lib.. No one needed fact-checkers till libs started lying about everything and needed protection from being exposed. Now they are all exposed, which is why their approval rating is at a 50-year low. Guess what? Trump won, and there is nothing you libs can do now except make sure we sweep up in the midterms, and so far, you are doing a great job.
