Except dipshit third world immigrants just come over and hop on the gibs train instead of working.
Coming over as a legal, white, Canadian immigrant compared to the gib shit train fucksticks is nuts. I don't get a single public entitlement. Not one. Not medicaid, not SNAP/EBT, not section 8, hell most state and municipal things I'm banned from as well. This is the case for most
legal immigrants. Unless you're just some Juan Spic who showed up at the southern border and whined for an hour to a CBP official bout "los banditos" in your hometown, you get basically everything handed to you.
I had to maintain gainful employment, prove I wasn't going to be a public charge
ever, have a firm, actionable plan to maintain gainful employment even after sponsorship, and everything. My wife, who ultimately sponsored my GC (she's American, it was faster to do it through her than through my work), has to make over a certain amount of money (although the threshold is embarrassingly low), and is legally fiscally responsible for me for 10 years. That means I'm banned from getting any form of public charge for 10 years after I get my GC, and if I do, she has to pay back the government for what I used. Even if we divorce. Between work visa costs, GC costs, and legal fees, the whole process probably cost $50,000+, spread between myself and my employers.
There were more asylum gib entry gib money applicants than the rest of every single other category. Combined. The US immigration system is now majority charity work because we just said anyone who was in a shitty situation could get free entry and free neetbux for life with minimal questioning. Until the OBBB, they got everything paid for. Application fees, housing, medical, the whole shebang. The OBBB put some applications feels in but they still get all the neetbux and gib money they could ever ask for. California is on track to spend $22B/year on gib entries and illegals. Lmfao. Fuck me sideways. America isn't alone in this. For the past ~15 years, immigration to first world countries went from something you earned to something we do as a charity for those poorer than us. Canada did this, UK, France, Germany, Sweden, Norway, a fuckload of countries all at once decided that we need infinite third worlders rather than people who earned it.
