The problem with welfare is that there’s a celing. Earn a dollar more than your suppose to, BAM IT’s taken away, so why try?
So instead of a ceiling, why not a floor? A baseline for you to start at. And your work adds to it, you progress higher up and you don’t need it anymore. But its still there in case it all dalls down.
But keep in mind if you stay at the base you won’t be happy. Just stagnant.
Agreed. Welfare doesn't encourage one to get ahead and work.
So you equate American citizens who pay into Medicare and Social Security over a 40-year working career with people who get freebies for simply birthing some babies on American soil, and never contributed a dime to the system?
Is the idea that we should only be letting folks in that have a good chance of not being on welfare such a crazy idea ?
We have enough native born people on welfare .

About 51% of immigrant-led households receive at least one kind of welfare benefit, including Medicaid, food stamps, school lunches and housing assistance, compared to 30% for native-led households, according to the report from the Center for Immigration Studies, a group that advocates for lower levels of immigration.
Those numbers increase for households with children, with 76% of immigrant-led households receiving welfare, compared to 52% for the native-born.

Wait–How Many Immigrants Are On Welfare Again?
I’m perfectly happy with doing away with welfare, but since I know that will not happen in my lifetime, it needs to be revamped. I’m tired of a huge chunk of people taking advantage of welfare and staying on it for long periods of time and not even trying to better their lives. The welfare system needs to be changed or done away with.
If their counting free school lunch as welfare again, I wouldn't be surprised. Feeding children "lunches" isn't exactly what I think of or most people think of when you hear the term "welfare".
It is welfare because only kids from low income families can qualify for it. Their parents get welfare and food stamps so why do the schools have to cover their meals at school to?

Haha its all welfare. Your neighbor with no children is robbed and his money is used to help pick up the tab for feeding and propagandizing your children in a govt education factory.
