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.
When in reality all they're eligible for is WIC if they're pregnant or a young mother
Which is a completely fair and humane policy of course, but only if you see non-citizens as people.
And their children as anything more valuable to society than an anchor baby for their parents to stay in the US
Meanwhile in the real world: White people are the ones that have historically benefited the most from welfare programs and the "Welfare Queen" made 8k$ from her scheme.
