honestly I'm still shocked people are buying into Reagan's welfare queen nonsense 40+ fucking years later

Step 1 to believing welfare queen nonsense: Be racist and imagine said queen as being black

Or Hispanic or native American or an immigrant

Immigrants aren't even eligible for EBT until they're citizens but it doesn't stop the whining from the right

Yeah, their propaganda outlets tell them that immigrants are eligible for everything and are indeed sucking up most of it.

[–] Cleverdawny@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

When in reality all they're eligible for is WIC if they're pregnant or a young mother

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Which is a completely fair and humane policy of course, but only if you see non-citizens as people.
