I’m sorry, Frankly I don’t give a crap... It’s tough all over. Quit wining and earn some money to support your kids.
Look we have a Americans living under bridges. We need to help our own first. We have folks who were flooded out of homes from the upper Missouri River to the lower Missisippi.
Add the cities destroyed by tornadoes,too. We need to take care of our own first.
Problem is, if they are not holders people, or in a blue state. DC is not real interested in them.
