Introducing the New American Breadwinner

It’s a great scam, and the entire planet knows about it. Sneak across the undefended US border, drop an anchor baby, and you are set for life:

That’s how illegal aliens manage to collect more welfare than American citizens. The arrangement works great for freeloaders from across the Third World and for Democrats determined to eradicate America through demographic displacement.

It does not work so well for those of us effectively enslaved by our government to finance our own cultural genocide.

Congress to Shovel More Welfare at Illegal Aliens

According to government-affiliated public broadcasting, debt is good, because it is savings. This is fortunate, because bribing the Third World to pour across the undefended border to displace us out of existence is going to cost more than even the Uniparty could raise by taxation:

The Heritage Foundation has details on…

…the relative size of the expansion of the welfare state under the TRAFWA, the bill’s weakening of work requirements, its contribution to excessive benefits, its subsidization of illegal immigrants, its embrace of liberal priorities, and the harm it would cause to marriage and families.

The millions upon millions of illegal aliens flooding the country in the largest invasion in human history already consume more welfare benefits than American citizens. Just wait until we get bipartisan immigration reform.

Study Confirms Illegals Use More Welfare Than US Citizens

The largest invasion in human history is also the largest looting spree. Among the findings of a report based on data from the 2022 Survey of Income and Program Participation are these:

• The 2022 SIPP indicates that 54 percent of households headed by immigrants — naturalized citizens, legal residents, and illegal immigrants — used one or more major welfare program. This compares to 39 percent for U.S.-born households.

• The rate is 59 percent for non-citizen households (e.g. green card holders and illegal immigrants).

No evidence was found that this is due to fraud.

• Illegal immigrants can receive welfare on behalf of U.S.-born children, and illegal immigrant children can receive school lunch/breakfast and WIC directly. A number of states provide Medicaid to some illegal adults and children, and a few provide SNAP. Several million illegal immigrants also have work authorization (e.g. DACA, TPS, and some asylum applicants) allowing receipt of the EITC.

Even if they work, they still collect welfare, as they do even if they don’t have kids and even if they have education credentials:

• Immigrant households without children, as well as those with high incomes and those headed by immigrants with at least a bachelor’s degree, tend to be more likely to use welfare than their U.S.-born counterparts.

Sometimes Democrats/the media pretend that illegals are prevented from suckling at the teat of the Welfare State; however,

• Most new legal immigrants are barred from most programs, as are illegal immigrants, but this has a modest impact primarily because: 1) Immigrants can receive benefits on behalf of U.S.-born children; 2) the bar does not apply to all programs, nor does it apply to non-citizen children in some cases; 3) most legal immigrants have lived here long enough to qualify for welfare; 4) some states provide welfare to otherwise ineligible immigrants on their own; 5) by naturalizing, immigrants gain full welfare eligibility.

An obvious conclusion is drawn:

Given their welfare use rates, knowledge of government programs is clearly extensive in immigrant communities.

No doubt the ins and outs of our extravagantly generous welfare system are common knowledge in places like Haiti and central Africa, where it would be virtually impossible to make as much by working as undocumented Democrats can make here by producing babies out of wedlock.

In the long term, we will be displaced by the millions upon millions of moochers leftists like Biden have been importing from the Third World. In the short term, we will be literally enslaved by them. What else would you call it when, on a coercive basis, someone else receives the wealth you produce?

Life Without the Welfare State

Under leftists, our benevolent impulses are subverted and turned against us, and we are alienated from each other. This story suggests how things used to work, prior to the welfare state:

Black Lives Matter and Hamas

Hamas terrorists are more focused and sophisticated than Black Lives Matter’s mostly peaceful protesters, who still have not evolved beyond smashing windows and stealing sneakers. But the ideologies serving as a pretext for their violence are so similar, both being grounded in hatred and weaponized victimhood, that it is no surprise BLM supports the nightmarish atrocities Hamas has inflicted on Israeli civilians:

Black Lives Matter Grassroots, which represents 26 local BLM chapters across the country, issued a lengthy statement “in solidarity with the Palestinian people.”

“[W]e must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed,” bark the moonbats, by which they mean Hamas.

“When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense.”

Speaking of unimaginable violence, among the horrors inflicted last weekend, Palestinian terrorists paraglided into a music festival to rape and murder unsuspecting youth. Black Lives Matter celebrated the atrocity with this:

Black Lives Matter Grassroots…

…also recognized what it claims are “clear parallels between Black and Palestinian people.”

This is true regarding the thugs inflicting the violence. Both baby-beheading Islamists and allegedly oppressed Target looters are products of a welfare state that allows them to grow to adulthood without developing a sense of self-worth. Welfare breeds dysfunctional societies. Dysfunctional societies breed monsters.

For a brief moment, it seemed Europe might snatch away the welfare teat that makes possible a society that would democratically elect Hamas. But moonbattery prevailed; the flow of free money will continue, guaranteeing more dysfunction and more bloodshed.

There is no reason to believe that BLM “activists” will not do to average Americans what Hamas does to average Israelis, assuming they graduate from random looting and vandalism.

European Welfare Will Continue to Finance Hamas

Gaza is to quasi-countries what Detroit is to cities: a welfare state that breeds monsters because free money frees the population from taking responsibility. For a brief moment, last weekend’s terror atrocities briefly awakened bleeding heart fools from their kumbaya dreams:

But then the Euroweenies promptly dozed off again:

“There will be no suspension of payments” at the moment, the Commission said in a statement reported by The Associated Press.

The change comes hours after E.U. Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Oliver Varhelyi claimed the opposite on social media, saying that the bloc’s 691 million euro — or $730 million — development portfolio to the Palenstinians was put under review.

No worries. The money is “humanitarian aid.” As with the $6 billion Biden just gave to Hamas sponsor Iran, Gaza’s democratically elected government Hamas is not supposed to spend it on terrorism.

The Associated Press reported the alliance has provided 700 million euros of humanitarian aid to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank since 2000 through the European Commission’s humanitarian aid department (ECHO) and the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Not even the moonbats comprising the United Nations and US government are dumb enough to believe that a single penny given to Palestinians or Iranians does not help finance terrorism. Pious tears for the self-induced plight of Palestinians will not wash the blood off their hands.

After Black Lives Matter riots caused $billions in damages, it never occurred to the liberals in charge to restrict the flow of free money that has resulted in such a profusion of sociopathic scumbags by allowing welfare state culture to fester. Likewise, Hamas has no need to worry that it will be deprived the funding that enables it.

Harvard Encourages Students to Use Food Stamps

Vestigial remnants of shame must persist, because the liberal campaign to destigmatize food stamps continues. Now they are trying to get the pampered elitists at Harvard to use them:

The Health Services office sent a flier to graduate students, encouraging them to participate in the SNAP Benefits Sign-Up event in April. The flier read, “Fuel your body & stock your pantry. Did you know that grad students may qualify for assistance paying for food & groceries?”

Harvard University is the wealthiest academic institution globally, boasting an endowment of approximately $53 billion. With such a substantial endowment, Harvard has the means to support a wide array of academic programs, research endeavors, scholarships and initiatives.

But we get to pay for our rulers’ adult children’s snacks.

Social Justice Interrupted

Failure to assimilate can be a good thing, if these are immigrants who have failed to adjust to the way things work under liberal rule:

These guys defended not just their store but civilization. They deserve the key to the city. Instead, they will probably be thrown in jail.

The scumbag’s reference to insurance is typical. The idea that you shouldn’t mind being robbed if you have insurance is a common theme with Black Lives Matter types. You don’t pay; everyone who buys insurance pays. If the theft if widely distributed, we are expected not to object. The entire welfare state is constructed on this premise.

We have to convince people that the handouts - just taking a few little handouts, where you have a subsistent living, where you never grow, just get a little check and a few food stamps, it will keep you on the plantation for the rest of your life, that's not a life. That's not living. It is not good enough. It is not acceptable. We have to educate our people that that is no longer good. You have to get off the plantation, off the government plantation. - Elbert Guillory

Welfare states on both sides of the Atlantic have discovered that largesse to losers does not reduce their hostility to society, but only increases it. Far from producing gratitude, generosity is seen as an admission of guilt, and the reparations as inadequate compensations for injustices - leading to worsening behavior by the recipients. - Thomas Sowell
