I don't want them to live in subhuman conditions. I think they should be welcomed and given basic living conditions so they can be integrated in society so they can do their thing. OG's image criticizes that sort of
policy ("given $10,000 and free housing"), by explicitly claiming we should deny these immigrants those basic living conditions.
What bothers me in this topic is the lack of empathy towards them, because people would rather treat them as pest and keep them in subhuman conditions or deny them opportunity of growth and don't even provide a proper explanation as to why.
I do think 10k and free housing (if thats what they even get, i cant recall a single instance of hearing such a thing) is kind of an insult to already-americans who are struggling and not receiving help
i believe our own people should come before those who just showed up so i'd rather we got ourselves together first before trying to take more ducks under our wing, thats what i meant earlier by america cant handle the amount of people that want to come here
i do think some services should be set up to help but when i know american citizens broke and homeless as is the illegal immigrants shouldnt get preferential treatments
housing is not a human right like some people will claim, i personally think human rights dont apply to things others have to provide for you. like not getting beaten is a human right but food isnt, because someone somewhere had to work for it.
i welcome immigrants (preferably legal but i dont judge if illegal) and i wouldnt be opposed to helping them personally but if the govvy is tryna help people it should be our own citizens first, or at least equally
i say this as someone who has no idea what the policy actually is lol
