    I mean fuck them and everything truly, but is this really such a paradox? It’s not like both can’t be true: say the men get jobs and the women and children get welfare. Or some immigrants take jobs and some are lazy and don’t. You can even get welfare while working if you are poor enough.

    I’m just saying - trying to fight this mindset by calling it an impossible paradox will not work because that doesn’t even make basic sense. I know you’re only parroting what’s been said in a million tweets, so I’m not blaming you for inventing this idea. Just maybe stop repeating it like it’s a super clever gotcha. It isn’t.

      Illegal immigrants do not get welfare. Undocumented immigrants cannot receive things like cash assistance, food stamps (SNAP), Medicare, or regular Medicaid.

        Your typical MAGAT would tell you that those might be the rules but they aren’t followed, or are defrauded. Fraud does exist, at least.
