    Much of what AOC says doesn't make sense. Pretty entertaining though!

    Hm... when many a decade ago when I’ve received my green card, I immediately applied for and received SS card too. Has something changed?

    I'm not a Christian, but what was that thing about Jesus and the Menagerie? Look at what your response is, it's not stuff based on citizenship. You can have a house and car without being a citizen. Yet you make these things seem like they are. Why? Why can't you do something nice for someone else without bringing citizenship into the equation?

    I'm not a democrat. I'm just curious why people can't break out of tribal affiliations in times of crisis.

    I don't think that's the case. But there is something going on as well.

    Geez, if you're that hard for cash maybe you should stop eating the avocado toast in the morning and get a second job. It's what I did when I was your age trying to make ends meet. And look at me now, I'm getting a higher education and making something of my life. Your generation, always so entitled for money. You think it grows on trees.

    For what it's worth, I understand it's more complicated than that. What I'm curious is why did you mention employees, when employees don't necessarily mean citizens. You can have employees who aren't citizens, yet you frame the benefits that should be given only to "employees that also means citizens". Why?

    Why?

    You are welcome to help anyone, and I support your right to do so.

    I am a raising 2 children on my own and they are my responsibility.

    I don’t believe stimulus money should go to people who are in the country illegally, because you are rewarding bad behavior.

    We have far too many illegals in this county now and they cost American citizens 100 billion plus per year.

    If we continue to reward bad behavior by giving more and more benefits to people who shouldn’t be here, it will just keep increasing the people coming illegally.

    I have nothing against legal immigration, but I don’t believe in rewarding bad behavior.

    If that is true then they shouldn't have come.

    Such ignorance!

    First, if the US gave $1200 to all 11 million illegals, this is only $13 billion or about one-half percent of the total $2 trillion stimulus.

    Second, most of these people perform jobs in the US, harvesting fruit and vegetables for YOU, doing hospitality work in hotels and restaurants and hospitals, day care workers, construction, etc.

    Third, most of them pay taxes! From property taxes to excise taxes to income taxes to FICA taxes...they pay taxes.

    Fourth, most of the stimulus money they would receive WILL BE SPENT IN THE US ECONOMY!!!!

    Here's what Hollywood is doing;

    I am working full time & I am taking care of my 12 & 13 year old children and my dog and cat. I am raising them on my own and they get my full attention. They were all born in America, even the cat & dog.

    I also don’t believe we should not reward bad behavior so, I support the illegals not getting a check. I am also against them getting free tuition and health care because it will only increase the number of illegals.

    Now I welcome you to take your stimulus check and give it to as many illegals as possible.

    What exactly have you done to help?

    Oh and that link does not specify that illegals got anything from the celebs. Illegals are probably not tax deductible.

    It's a waste of time discussing this with you...you are xenophobic and closed-minded and lack rational compassion for others. You need to spew your nonsense to others in your camp...I'm definitely not one of them!

    Sorry, I'm laughing really hard.
    I didn't actually think you were talking about yourself when you said "do our part"

    So obviously you have not done anything and you are not planning on sharing your check with an illegal. :roflol:

    If you really cared, you would get off your soapbox and help the illegals.

    I am glad they are not getting a check, and I am not afraid to admit it.

    Will it or will it encourage those here already to work harder?

    Lol I know, I'm a comedic genius who is one bad pun away from being murdered by an angry mob of boomers.

    How is that relevant to the OP? Only lawfully present non-citizens can obtain a SSN. Click here: https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10096.pdf

    His OP specifically refers to illegals.

    I get weary of the obfuscation of the participants on this board.

    Oh I helped my friend move out of her apartment before her idiot president shut down the airports and not saying when they would be closed until like a day later. (Not US.) For another friend I'm trying to get research work organized over the summer so she doesn't have to go back to her home country. I'm also helping my professors with tech issues related to the programs they have to use now for teaching. I now feed the stray cats we're trying to capture and get fixed. I And to help combat social loneliness I decided to start up a dnd campaign where I will be teaching people how to make money and other basic microeconomics.

    She should be concerned about homeless American citizens. Where is her concern about them?

    If you have a tree you have the potential to make money. If nothing else, you can cut up the tree and sell the wood for firewood or lumber or for wood pulp to make paper. Trees produce fruits and nuts, cocaine and cocoa. So of course money grows on trees.
