Comment on Top Trump official moves to block illegal immigrants from receiving food stamps: 'Follow the law, full stop'

Well, let’s see - considering the rather lengthy form you have to fill out, not to mention handing over your government issued ID, this is rather blatantly nothing more than pandering to their base.

However, realizing the level of willful ignorance, if not outright stupidity, it would take to think that illegal immigrants are signing up for food stamps, I really have a hard time finding empathy for conservatives these days. Seriously.

So if they aren’t signing up for them, then you don’t have to be upset about restrictions. Since they don’t use them anyway, right? :)

  If they’re paying taxes, and they are paying taxes, they are entitled to benefits.

    Yeah? So did Biden pay them benefits? Was Harris going to pay them benefits?

    Do you have a problem with providing benefits to taxpayers?

  I recognize the words, but still feel like I’m resting a foreign language. And the combination of arrogance and stupidity on display here is simply not with the energy of “getting upset”. Y’all are simply just not that interesting.

    But like I said, if they aren’t getting them anyway, then why be upset about this policy. I mean, the policy doesn’t change anything at all, right?
