When the MASS MIGRATION of immigrants came here in that late 19th and early 20th century, there were NO welfare programs, food stamps, housing vouchers, free medical care, or any OTHER Federal benefits. They STILL kept coming LEGALLY to this nation.Mrkelly » 16 Jun 2023, 12:09 pm » wrote: ↑ immigrants aren't here legally ?

"For more than 25 years, unjust policies have prevented millions of lawfully present immigrants from accessing critical services and programs, including quality health care, food and housing assistance, economic support, and more"
