  1. The question of, do the immigrants get a debit card with a couple of thousand dollars each, to get them room and board or vehicles or whatever? When we have indigent and homeless Americans in need. I live in Florida, in a working class older very basic neighborhood. And I know what I'm seeing just here in my area. Every house that gets sold, suddenly get bought by Spanish speaking families. Then you see more people moving into a 3 bedroom home. 6 ,8 cars suddenly in the yard and you can tell there are 10 to 15 people living there. They have new or newly used fancy vehicles. But live like small communes. I have the feeling you have the person with their name on the deed, getting money from people to hang there. So you never know who's living there from one day to the next. So, if these are poor immigrants, begging for asylum. Where is all the money coming from? I know damn well, when I was starting out after getting out of the army, I could not afford a really new car and other toys like motorcycles, 4 wheelers etc. And i was working 40, 50 hours a week as a carpenter. Pretty strange. And makes you think. Are these immigrants coming illegally or even legally, and taking jobs and government money from legal Americans.

Which is below the poverty level. But things like water, electric etc bills keep rising. Creating another couple of millionaire CEOs. And when you ask them about a program for low income, they tell you, all we can do is knock 5 bucks a month off ur bill. While you use less of their product, because you don't create as much waste and use as much energy. All the while, people like this group and others, talk about everything, but NEVER, get anything accomplished. Award? Yeah, an award for being a sap, all my adult working life. Paying my taxes. Being an honest citizen. Serving my country. And watching how truly little we matter. That's my award, I guess.

  3.  @MarcosElMalo2  Well I'm sure you have all the knowledge of the works. Cash any benefits checks lately or do you get cash. No, I don't know the actual transaction process. But I see the results every day. Because I live a working class life and have for 50 years. And as a carpenter for those 50 plus years. I've seen how unskilled immigrants have pushed labor prices down by working for cash under the table for unscrupulous crew chiefs and companies looking for cheap labor. That I have seen first hand.
