Social programs are what tax dollars are supposed to pay for though. I'd much rather it go to that than the military industrial complex, or a corporate bailout, or just being "unaccounted for" by the CIA.
Federal tax dollars should go to national defense. Period. The government isn't supposed to be a nanny!
I dont need a list if you can give me a single "traditional American value" that we have lost I'll concede to you. And FYI, gender norms are not a tradition American value, thats more a universal thing than specifically American.
Respectfully you need to look up the legal definitions and stipulations associated with refugee status. One includes seeking refugee status in the nearest country. Not crossing several to arrive at the one of your choice. Also the fact that you have to go to a legal point of entry, not sneak in across the border where you please the way the vast majority of these people have.
Here think about this one for a bit.
I understand that, but from this article theres no way to know if they became refugees the wrong way or the right way. The article called them refugees, so I did too. Either way, it doesnt matter what their status is. Massachusetts has a law that requires the state to provide housing for homeless people, regardless of citizenship, which is why this is happening.
And how is that relevant to this at all? Are you trying to say your right to a hotel room has been infringed?
See thats what I'm saying, those arent traditional American values. Those are mostly universally accepted in all countries. And the homosexuality one is more specifically a Christian/religious value. American values are things like individual freedom and equality, stuff like that. Two things that should make homosexuality perfectly acceptable no?. Why shouldnt two consenting adults be allowed to do what they want?
Just because someone writes refugee, rarely is it true. And I know this because you can literally know unless the fled life threatening circumstances from Mexico or Canada they are not refugees. And other refugee status has to be determined by our branches of gov't in a legal way through a very specific process that usually is based off an extreme event or civil unrest happening in a specific place.... its really not that hard. Anyone who did not come to a legal port of entry AND also have legitimate claim to refugee status are an illegal alien end of story.
And you know for a fact the people in this article didnt do that?
If there are people in need I have no issue with helping. Thats why I have no issue with my tax dollars paying for their hotel rooms. I dont think people should be left on the street just because they crossed an imaginary line in an attempt to seek a better life.
Yes because they were not from a bordering country and lately we have not made any offers to legally take refugees from anywhere as far as I know. If you know of a specific event that lately we took refugees from Venezuela(which is what I'm reading is where the majority are from) then please point me in the direction of when that happened.
None, because I pay tax dollars that are supposed to do that. Whether I will personally take people into my home is irrelevant.
It doesnt say in the article where they are from or anything specific about them so I'm confused how you've determined what their status is.
