I Was Helping Immigrants Translate Documents, and Their Aid Amount Shocked Me
As a community volunteer in Chicago, I help immigrants fill out forms. One day, I assisted a newly arrived family. When the system displayed the aid they qualified for, I was stunned— it was more than what I make from two part-time jobs. They were grateful. Meanwhile, I felt a wave of emotional conflict: Why am I helping them access more resources than I have? In that moment, I understood what “system shock” really means.

Democrats will still tell you that they don’t get any funding.

this is why so many people come to the country for free food and medical care and housing no other countries give this much support to immigrants both legal and illegal the previous administration was the worst in handing out the free perks to them

The only way to get rid of them is to turn off the cash flow, make it illegal for anyone except American citizen to receive and type of government assistance, food, housing, or medical, and instead of them starving they will leave.

They were given $30,000 to help with buying a house. I would love to have that opportunity.

It is an insult to the American people paying their taxes and can’t get the they need! 🤨 not to mention how many people became homeless while they were given roofs over their heads and the hungry families and children 🤨 SICKENING!!!

I agree deport them it's to much of a strain people at home are struggling and being an illegal should not mean a free ride

Ban bad journalists
Don’t ever believe the democrats. They lie and lie about all the free stuff many illegal families get. I’ve met several from working with them as well- free vehicles. Brand new too- I can’t afford a new vehicle but my taxes support them. Free housing free food free clothes free college. Just a family of four was getting almost 4800-6000 a month. Plus all the free stuff. They were always shopping and buying new gadgets and clothes. Not right! Not grateful and many feel and show their entitlement
