    Both him and his mom would be homeless or worse if it weren’t for the social safety nets conservatives want to remove.

    I think some of these people believe that the social safety net would be better if all the (insert group here) were deported/jailed/killed because then there’s the same amount of money to be assigned to fewer people

    Something they ignore is that fewer people working = less productivity = fewer resources/less money.

    It’s why conservatives need to paint immigrants as both job stealers and lazy welfare queens. In either narrative there’s “less for you”.
