    Trying to combine immigrants in your first sentence is so disingenuous. Here’s what makes it clear:

    Legal Immigrants are different than illegal immigrants. Of course your coworker is pissed off that he’s come here legally and is not getting rewarded for it. Whether the ones who come illegally are lazy or not doesn’t make a difference. They shouldn’t be given anything we currently give them. We have veterans dying in the streets getting nothing. Everyone should be mad about it.

      What you’re saying is not precisely true. To register for food stamps, well, you need to be registered. Likewise for other forms of welfare.

      Illegal immigrants are not coming to this country and living off of welfare. That is not happening.

      But even if it was, are you seriously going to tell me that the solution to that is to kick those immigrants out? To round them up in camps? That’s not going to help homeless veterans.

      People like you will either believe in stupid arguments or talk in bad faith, and then not actually support welfare or UBI at all.
