Let us start with UKRAINIANS: While millions of our fellow Americans live outside, or in tents, because they can't afford rent, our U.S. Government is funding the PENSION COFFERS for Ukraine retirees...and other things the U.S. won't do for AMERICANS.
As of August 2022...

The $4.5 billion budgetary grant will fund urgent government needs inside Ukraine, including payments for pensions, social welfare and healthcare costs, bringing total U.S. fiscal aid (vs. military aid) for Ukraine to $8.5 billion since Russia's February invasion, the U.S. Agency for International Development said.
Ukraine Citizens who are in the USA as refugees, receive Housing, a Monthly Check, Medical Insurance, SNAP discounts for food, and Social Security Income (SSI).

How About Those who came into the USA through MEXICO. They are eligible for...

Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP)
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)
Emergency Medicaid (includes labor and delivery)
Full-Scope Medicaid
Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Medicare “Premium-Free” Part A (hospitalization) (Eligibility based on work history.)
Premium “Buy-in” Medicare
HUD Public Housing and Section 8 Programs
Title XX Block Grants
Social Security
Other Federal Public Benefits Subject to Welfare Law’s Restrictions
Benefits Exempt from Welfare Law’s Restrictions
---------
The above are FEDERAL programs. Many states "sweeten the pot" to provide additional benefits, such as voting rights, driver's licenses, and more.
One word you'll frequently see when reading through benefit summaries for Non-U.S. citizens is "EXEMPT". Non-Citizens are exempt from many of the rules and restrictions placed on U.S. citizens who are seeking benefits, in order to improve their quality of life.
The current setup here in the U.S. is Definitely NOT Americans First, even though without us, there would be no money to dispense!

I lived in AZ for a couple of years, and thus is true. Not sure about the military, but a Mexican guy in golf clothes and shoes showed up screaming about having to wait to be served, a guy came running out and took him right away.
I was applying for the first time (and didn’t get it) nor did the girl Hope, who had two kids, cancer and two jobs who sat next to me for 6 hours approx. I had to go there twice and was denied because I didn’t have my divorce papers. My ex was at that moment in prison. Oxy ruins lives, and turned him into a monster and criminal.
Back in Boston year 1996 my boyfriend at the time was diagnosed with medulla blastoma. I took care of him and worked 40 hours a week. I applied just for food stamps, denied. My weight got down to 98 lbs as I only ate twice a week. The bills were paid though. The gas to go to the hospitals in Boston and parking was insane. Some nice Drs told me where the broken meters were to help me, and would try to feed me too.
I had a friend once tell me “There are two types of people in this world. Takers and givers”.
If you have more takers than givers it will tip at some point.
….. and why are illegals getting SSI?

In 2012, an Iraqi family of refugees moved next door. Father, mother, daughter, adult son, and son with disabilities. They were each given SSI, Medicare, Welfare, and Food Stamps. In 7 months time, they were able to buy a house in Rochester MN free and clear with the money they were given as each family member was given almost 14k a month in cash, medical, dental, and welfare assistance.
Oddly enough, after they moved, once the handicapped child reached adulthood, there was a fight between him and his dad. They never found the father’s eyes.
So, I guess the moral to this story is, money given to immigrants isn’t really the problem. It’s how much, and who is responsible for these giveaways.

The U.S. has pumped nearly $25 billion of non-military aid into Ukraine’s economy since the Ukraine War began in February 2022, according to the report.
Some of that U.S. taxpayer money has been going to prop up “small businesses,” such as a designer knitwear company in Ukraine’s capital, far from the frontlines.

Thank you! I have one son who is now an adult looking for work. I work, and wouldn’t take the cash anyways because I’m proud, and believe in helping the little ones first. I despise people who take and don’t need.
The Dems are only allowing mass migration for their votes, they will betray them too eventually!
