I have a coworker who is vehemently anti-immigrant. One of the reasons she gives for this stance is that they come to this country unvaccinated and spread disease. Guess who is also anti-vax?

I have SSI it pays peanuts, if I didn’t have a job ontop of it, I’d have nothing.

The rules are overly strict and an absolute poverty trap. I cannot legally have 2000 dollars to my name and anything I earn through ANY means must be reported meaning I CAN’T have a side hustle.

I need to stay on the program because my health insurance is tied to it, if I ever lost it I would be physically and mentally near death within a month.

I’m one of the people they’re talking about when they mention Welfare Queens

Brexit was the best experiment for that. They kick immigrants out so all jobs went to the local population. People didn’t want them, produce was left in the fields, deliveries were not made, tables were not waited on and some companies folded. Anyway, immigration is now back and higher than it used to be, but from other countries.

Right-wing ideology doesn’t have to be consistent - it merely has to shift the blame for society’s ills away from those who caused them.
