I have skipped the opening teaser sob story and excerpted the bit that in my estimation tells the most.
Emphasis added. The last four years? Makes you think.
“... now we’re really responding to a major influx of migrants and asylum-seekers who have arrived in Chicago in the past two years...”
Young men don’t have babies..................
Now why would the numbers be dropping in that program while the numbers in others are rising?
Let me think......
That the taxpayers have to give money to illegals is insane.
It’s because they all moved to Minnesota. (better benefits)
I know many kids at Ivy League Schools getting food stamps.
Not because they are poor, but because Fed.gov is handing them out like candy
I know of several entire graduate/PhD departments on Food Stamps - word gets around campus that Fed.gov is giving $300-$400 a month, as a student can easily declare low income, and all the kids flock down to the local Federal Building to sign up.
Don’t those kids ever grow up???
Maybe they are simply measuring against the special pandemic enrollments and prohibitions against de-enrollments. Those greatly inflated the rolls.
Where are the fathers of these children?
Maybe because people are moving out of the state?
Mom hasn’t missed too many meals, and they can afford “stylish” haircuts for the son. Fried foods being prepared with 3 boxes of crackers in the background. Maybe they AIN’T eating high on the hog, but starving isn’t part of the problem. We could afford to help people like this more if: 1) we quit giving money to illegals, paying all their bills and welcoming them, 2) we stopped sending money overseas to help others eat, secure their borders, and fight wars.
She suffers from “long COVID”; guess I have never had a bad case of the flu and had it stay with me for YEARS!
I know, I am being cruel, perhaps racist, but isn’t it cruel and racist to expect me and others to continually fund every social, feel good program that comes along?
Because the new people qualifying are mostly white people, who don’t want to become welfare dependents.
