What this thread is about is people coming here illegally, working under the table, taking all of the way too lenient socialist benefits from the taxpayers, then sending money back to their home countries.
We’re talking about ‘Rats abetting it for the sake of votes and welfare state expansion, and Pubbies abetting it for the sake of cheap (taxpayer subsidized) labor.
What we’re NOT talking about is the legal immigrant who comes here to earn, takes no taxpayer funding, and makes his/her own way. That person can of course do whatever they wish with their money.
Don’t confuse legal, self supporting immigrants with illegal, welfare queen style parasites.
The NPR thread does not distinguish between legal and illegal though some of the posters do. Posts here have the two catagories combined as well, asserting that all are on some form of welfare including the tax credit fed handout. I oppose the tax give away but if the recipients are obeying the law, the money is theirs. Change the law, don’t demonize the recipient.
